I dont know, if the genre helps to shine. At least, I dont see that way. If someone says I write historical or non fiction. For me it is the same level. It is just a preference. Or maybe I am biased.. dont know...

For me, it is mostly the battle of how many words? It reminds me my KPIs loool (maybe, that is why.). If someone wants to write 100k fine, but even a piece of work of 1k can make a difference. Anyway. That would be a debate in another community....
