The Literature & Fiction > Historical Fiction node is dramatically outperforming the Romance > Historical Romance node on raw sales velocity (290 vs 80 estimated sales per day across top 20, and a #1 title moving nearly 2,925 units daily), with a higher power index (58.2 vs 49.1) and a healthier STC ratio above 1.0. The Romance node is heavily KU-dependent (44.9% KU share) and sits on a beaten-track with compressed pricing, signalling saturation risk for pure-romance Regency. Demand for Regency with literary weight, moral complexity, and standalone readability is rising steadily, while formula-driven ton-season-ball tropes are cooling as readers seek differentiation. The price gap ($7.28 vs $3.91 average) confirms literary-leaning Regency commands stronger reader willingness to pay.
