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

Same! I love the idea that civilization has fallen, but people moved on and started new ones, and all that remains of the old world is ruins and myths. It's like somber and hopeful at the same time.

It's also cool seeing stuff we recognise from another perspective. Horizon Zero Dawn and Mortal Engines do this, and I guess Mistborn also kinda does?
