My personal favorites are steampunk, coming of age, and alternate history. How about you?

It's hard to beat the good old high fantasy, but there are some awesome urban fantasy and grimdark books out there. The subgenre is probably not that important as long as the book is good.

As for sci-fi, I love the science details, so it would be hard science fiction.

Oh I love hard science sci-fi. Give me proof that Project Hail Mary isn't the best sci-fi one shot ever written.
