What are yours Best have thing(s) that you, as a reader, want in a book?
Being it fantasy or sci-fi ones.
Is it world building, level of details of characters/things/places, the story itself, how you can relate to a (main) character, other?!
And if possible, why?
For me it tends to be the story itself, of course I can relate to a character, or to the incredible details of a place somewhere. But generally speaking, i’m more intrigued to know the context and the plots of the story the author wanted to give me.
A character I can root for, hate, and love all at the same time. Characters that force me to reckon with my own flaws or the flaws of people around me. Characters like that are humanizing, and they tend to have a lasting impact on my behavior, the way I treat myself, or the way I treat others.
