The publishing industry experts always ask “why aren’t men reading?” and while that’s partially the case, they are, just not anything that’s set up in bookstores.
I just look for the cancelled authors these days. It’s a safe bet it’s probably awesome if the blue hairs don’t like them. Also can’t be through Amazon got to be another way to buy it. People are starting to have enough of Amazon. They rip off customers and authors.
I'm a big Mil-SF reader. I own almost every book published by WarGate Books. Nick Cole and Jason Anspach are probably my favorite currently published authors.
I’ve found some of these series to have some quality work, too, the kind I used to pick up at a Waldenbooks at the mall back in the (long-gone) day. J. A. Sutherland, Eric Thomson, Christopher Nuttall, Evan Currie and Kevin McLauglin have been writing things that intrigue me as much as entertain me.
1.Harem trash is written porn. Thankfully, a lot of men's fiction says in the description 'no harem'.
2.Another category which is probably mostly men is wuxia which is part of China's growing influence. 'Join the Purple Dragon Gem Cult. Defeat Arrogant Young Masters in magical martial art duels, and defy the heavens to become an immortal kung fu master!'
3. M.R. Forbes. I used to be not able to get into his work for some reason, but Starship in the Stone is decently appealing to me.
4. My favorite LitRPG is 'Play to Live' series by D Rus. He's a Russian author, and provides a Russian viewpoint which I find interesting. The Cradle series by Wil Wight is also very good, and its more like wuxia even if I don't remember cults and such.
“Wasted” is being slowly and unscientifically released, chapter by chapter, on Substack, for FREE. You can even click “play” and a marginally pleasant sounding AI dude will stumble through a reading of each chapter for you. There are 17 so far. Enjoy, like a Netflix series, but without the annoyingly perfect young actors and epileptic frenzy-inducing CGI pyrotechnics.

That’s fine, if pretty specific.

I don't read these myself (or write them) but I find it heartening that lots of guys do.
Keep on keepin' on defying the conventional wisdom.
