The performance of genres that include highly formulaic sub-genres is driven to a large degree by outlier enthusiasts.
I would fall into this catagory, I have 400+ books and growing I go through anywhere between 2-5 books a week. I have tons of books to choose from and I enjoy them. I couldn't care less what someone thinks of my reading material, so long as I enjoy it that is all that matters.
