not science fiction per se but i've had to give up reading dystopias,zombies and 'survival horror'. i was consuming a steady diet of it and it just felt unhealthy.
i'm still reading 'gritty' fantasy and sword&sorcery but at least there still seems to be a sense of wonder without the soul crushing depression.
i think you can still have realistic, good characters and a positive outlook without seeming naive.
