During the months I've spent on this site, I've noticed that a lot of stories are fanfics/isekai/smut or whatever, at least the top stories. It seems to be what most of the userbase here likes.

During my time here, I've noticed the lack of a teen or young adult label in the genres or tags, and that makes it hard for me to classify my story in quite the right place. Perhaps other authors of young adult stories have been having this problem too. I don't really know how many other people on this site write young adult novels, because there's not a way for me to filter and find them. I understand not wanting to add a whole genre label, but what about just a tag for stories in the teen/young adult range? It probably won't be one of the most popular tags, but I've seen that you have several tags that aren't even put into use. I'd really appreciate being able to classify my story (a young adult romantic comedy) in a way that feels like it actually fits the story.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day.

I'm surprised they don't have that tag, considering it is one of the most-read genres out there.

I would argue it shouldn't be a genre.

Twilight is "Urban Fantasy", the sub-genre of "Fantasy", the audience is "Young Adult"

I think there should be the tag for both "urban fantasy" and "young adult" but not a genre
