Can anyone tell me?

I was scrolling through some stories and found a Steampunk rough draft. Reading it made me feel nostalgic, but I also know the genre isn't super popular

I don't think steampunk is dead, but it isn't as popular as it was a couple decades ago. Like vampires isn't as big as it used to be. Thanks, Twilight for killing vampires.

Joking aside, it depends what site you're talking about to. Because I think Werewolf romance are still going strong on Wattpad.

What's A/B/O?
Alpha, Omega, Beta cause werewolf and packs

There is also Omegaverse or ABO that is without the wolf shapeshifting but preserves the hierarchy structure with heat cycle/ruts and pheromones to replace the special conditions during fullmoon and the special connections of the "Luna" and the "Alpha"

Ah yes, I definitely know that those are words.
I guess whatever Baby in a Blender was about is dead. Been ages since I've heard of another like it recently.

Pocket FM just "spun out" a werewolf romance contest (IIRC Just closed last week) from their broader Paranormal Romance contest a month ago because there were so many submissions of werewolf stories. So there is a demand, at least in audio books.

I have only seen a few decent steampunk books - it's more a cosplay genre than a fiction one IME. There were some cool Steampunk TV shows when the concept first cropped up, but those didn't seem to last long.

Steampunk should be revived, at least in visual media

Travelogues have mostly disappeared with the exception of some high fiction travelogue-likes such as Frieren and One Piece. Magicless down to earth Travelogues have more or less disappeared.
