WriterMate's reading
The title count is identical to the last observed week, so WriterMate reads this as holding steady. 80.0% of the titles carrying soft sci-fi also carry SF. It is more accurate to read this as the "soft sci-fi + SF" combination moving, rather than the genre on its own. Next most common: drama(60.0%), space(60.0%).
