What is the difference between fantasy and science fiction?
Fantasy and science fiction are two distinct genres of literature, each with its own characteristics and conventions. Fantasy is often based on mythical creatures and supernatural events, and generally takes place in a world that is removed from our own. Science fiction, on the other hand, is rooted in science and technology, and often explores the possibilities of the future. It involves space travel, aliens, and otherworldly creatures, typically in a setting that is similar to our world.

What is the difference between thriller and mystery genres?
Thrillers are stories that are focused on suspense and action, while mysteries are typically focused on solving a puzzle. Thrillers often involve a protagonist who is trying to prevent a crime or solve a problem, while mysteries involve the protagonist trying to solve a crime that has already been committed. Furthermore, thrillers often have a sense of urgency and can have elements of horror and science fiction, while mysteries are often more cerebral and focus on the process of deduction.
