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.

Personally for me, it’s world building, and character development specifically in the form of inner struggle and conflict and working through that. As a result, I loooove inner dialogue journaling when done in books.
I *love* a book that can stand up to multiple readings, revealing new depths each time. For me it’s usually a long book or series with many characters and a complex plot. There are often multiple layers of meanings. And there are puzzles, enigmas, mysteries, and riddles that reward multiple readings with a lot of “aha!” moments.
