Book genre popularity.

I'm currently contemplating popular concepts again. This time I decided to make a leaderboard table of which of my books are most popular, not just by sales alone but also by pages read in Kindle Unlimited. Now, keep in mind none of these titles have sold more than 105 copies in their lifetimes (only one ever cracked the Century mark), so they aren't really representative of actual success in any way, shape or form, but is more of an analysis of the genres and styles I've attempted thus far and how those have panned out. Their positioning is also taken from their most popular period since their release, which is usually right after they come out, to try and get around the fact that some have been available for way longer than others. So here's the table:

1 The Mystery of Dracula
2 The Defenders of Dusk
3 Children of the Painted Apple
4 Voyage Across the Galaxy
5 The Ballad of Lonely Scar

No great surprise, I suppose! A book based on a literary classic followed by a Fantasy adventure. Sci-Fi then dominates the middle to lower table while poetry (based in a Fantasy universe) brings up the rear. If this was a party of adventurers walking in formation in a Dungeons & Dragons adventure, the group would be led by a Vampire (or vampire hunter) with a stealthy thief right behind, a party member with a super power in the middle followed directly by an incredibly useful jack-of-all-trades. At the back is the poor bard, who'll probably be eaten by a monster and nobody would even notice (anybody who has played D&D will know how accurate this is!) :D

Anyhoo, fun over, I need to get back to my daily writing quota! :P
