>it's completely misplaced advice to tell someone to preemptively try to game trends
agree, i actually recommend writing in established genres over unstable trendy ones.
>serials are a big commitment
Yes, but also no. Especially if you're a newbie author starting out, jumping into a fun premise and writing ~100k words (or the first book) of a serial, then dropping it because you learned a lot and want to do better is totally fine. And if trend-chasing (with genuine interested in that trend) is what inspires an anon to get writing, I say go for it.
Plus if anon has a fetish for playing the lottery, trend-chasing definitely can blow up a mediocre author. If you write in established genres you have to be actually good
