Demand Snapshot

WWII Fiction sits in a high-volume 'Beaten Track Mainstream' position: 277,839 titles, a power index of 58.2, and an STC ratio of 1.05 signal a market where demand is real but supply is nearly saturating it. The top-20 average rank of 257 with ~290 estimated daily sales is healthy, but the gap between rank-1 performance (2,924 sales/day) and the average shows winner-take-most dynamics. KU share at 29.8% is moderate, meaning readers still buy outright, but page-read competition is growing. Rising pockets include lesser-told civilian perspectives, Eastern-front narratives, and dual-timeline structures; cooling are straight combat memoir-style narratives and the well-worn French-resistance heroine arc.
