i think about genre and medium ALL the fucking time i think the best fiction is stuff that is extremely aware of its genre and medium and plays with their limits. it doesnt have to even be fourth wall breaking its just GOOD when an artist knows precisely how to use the genre and medium to max effectiveness

#thinking for instance about how tbna has MASTERFUL panelwork done. it's very aware that it is a manga!!#in a weird way this is why villainess isekai as a genre fascinates me. its kind of metanarrative and kind of not #'im cast in a role where i will suffer and people will think i deserved it' is INHERENTLY very interesting #i just feel like a lot of villainess isekai don't play enough into that PARTICULARLY with how horrific this is #this is a tangent sorry. im just SUPER fascinated by that genre from an analytical standpoint
