Where these numbers come from

Mentions are counted rows, not estimates and not a model. We read reader demand from Goodreads reviews and shelves, parsed reader requests, BookTok video metadata and Reddit, resolve each one to a subgenre lane and to tropes in our published taxonomy, and total them by week. This page shows the 28 weeks from 2026-02-16 to 2026-08-24; Love Triangle appeared in 18 of the 28.

Only tropes from our canonical taxonomy of 1,167 appear here, and only the 339 of them that clear our publication floor somewhere. Raw scrape labels are excluded on purpose: publish those and the same trope ends up listed twice under two spellings and the ranking becomes fiction.

Direction is a change in share, never a raw weekly move, because a genre that simply gets busier would otherwise make every trope in it look like it is rising. We state no direction at all unless each 12-week band holds at least 10 mentions and the two hold 30 between them — a trope that went from two mentions to forty is a small number moving, not a trend.

Figures restate each time the corpus is recounted. This page: 2026-09-07.
