Mature Stories?
Stories marked "Mature" make up about 35.0% of novellas
Genres
I took the top 1-3 most obvious tags of a story and calculated percentages from there. So one story could be counted as Fantasy, romance, and action. This might not be the way I do this when I have all the data, but it makes the most sense for now.
Romance: 30.8%
Fantasy: 22.8%
Mystery: 10.2%
Paranormal: 9.0%
Scifi: 7.7%
Adventure: 7.1%
Action: 4.3%
Horror: 4.9%
less than 4.3%: dystopian, horror, thriller, fan fiction, and other sub-genres like high, low, dark, and urban fantasy, romcoms, teen fiction, crime, etc.
Special thanks to @MMicheleWilly for helping clean up some of the data!
Note: There are 114 stories that I did not easily find a prompt for. So mystery numberssss
