Which is also a positive aspect.

I believe that the ability to easily lull the reader to sleep is not a virtue.

I think Harry Potter is a cool guy, but he defeats everyone and isn't afraid of anything!

Actually, I wasn't lying in the second part of post #203; I read five books in my youth, and I liked how easily they went down. Quickly consumed and processed – perfect fast food for the brain. I decided a few days ago to suddenly read books 6 and 7, which I hadn't seen before, and maybe a couple of old ones, although without much enthusiasm; I downloaded the entire series in chm format on my PDA and read the first one. Or rather, I struggled through the boredom. It's completely pointless, and I didn't like it even before.

Typical reading material.

But the platformers released after the books and movies were great, yes. Over time, they supposedly turned into garbage. I only played two of them.

Well, you're Loki, so you can do anything.

Today I finished the seventh book, and it was incredibly enjoyable – I highly recommend it, although I can't guarantee its accuracy.
I read it with some breaks for gaming, internet, and other things. As soon as I picked up the fifth book, I practically read it and the rest in one go.

I used to say fantasy, until I came across the books of Ruslan Mikhailov - he writes under the pseudonym Dem Mikhailov. He writes both fantasy and sci-fi remarkably well.
His fantasy cycle, "Izgoy," and his sci-fi novel, "Asteroíd City," are captivating reads.

Here's an example, the beginning of his new book, "Hrrpyrympyrym))))". Only one and a half chapters have been written, but the epic scale of the book is already apparent )))))))) http://samlib.ru/m/mihajlow_r_a/hr.shtml

papalam .

And why immediately SCIENTIFIC fiction? There is a clear distinction between ordinary and scientific fiction.

Because science fiction is just fantasy, lol.

But why?

Because in the scientific setting, everything is based on science.

Non-scientific fiction is essentially the same as fantasy.

Pfft, like the magic in Transformers?

I mean, the thread is specifically titled "Science Fiction vs. Fantasy." And as Morny put it, science fiction is based on science. But what about regular, pseudo-scientific fiction?

As Morny put it, in science, everything is based on science. But what about ordinary, pseudo-scientific fantasy?

Fantasy[1] (from English fantasy – “fantasy”) is a genre of fantastic literature based on the use of mythological and fairy-tale motifs.

So, a questionnaire in the style of "What is better: Science Fiction or Fantasy?" sounds like "What is better: Sports or Football?".

I prefer sports in general, rather than football specifically.

And is mysticism not a kind of fantasy?

So, a questionnaire in the style of "What's better: Science Fiction or Fantasy?" sounds like "What's better: Sports or Football?".

Well, it's not just science fiction, it's *science* fiction!
I think science fiction is better.
