2024 and 2025 have seen an incredible uptick in science fiction and fantasy sales, according to recent BookScan reports, but the vast majority of it is chick-lit Romantasy, with a couple of exceptions.
Rebecca Yarros got popular with booktok. Apparently the influencers on booktok only want the shallowest, raunchiest books they can find, and their viewers buy them by the thousands. Men need to start some booktok channels and recommend books they like. That's where the discoverability is.
Most will deny it but that's what a majority of women like to read. Men are visibly excited (i.e. via images) and women are excited verbally. That's not to say men are not aroused by word play or that women don't get excited at how a man looks but that what turns each on the most is the image for men and the word or sound for women.
Are these female authors actually good or are they more Affirmative Action/DEI hires? We know that US Tax dollars have been funding so called independent (actually Left leaning) News media so it wouldn't be a stretch to see publishers being paid to hire DEI types.
My wife enjoys those books. She considers them the next step from reading Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. I suspect there is a lot of truth to that for a lot of women.

Fucking dumb cunts ruining fantasy with their degenerate sex smut disguised as literature.
Shit makes me so livid.
Stay mad
The editorial staffs at the major publishing houses are almost entirely female. They're not coming back from this.

When in reality the next step from Potter is good old Snidely Porpington.
