While being high quality is subjective. The rest of your statement is false.

Compare any book listed Genre's and Top Shelves and the difference is obvious. They're hand picking the Top Shelves that can be displayed as Genre's and how they will be displayed.

Here's a link for you:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...edemption-prep

https://www.goodreads.com/work/shelves/68506618

You'll see the top shelf to-read is not included as a Genre. I have also seen examples of word's you'd expect to be a Genre being ignored.

Here is another example:

Note how they map the Top Shelf canadian to the Genre Cultural > Canada.

These are clear examples of how GR processes their Top Shelves to generate Genre's, whatever nonsense is in Top Shelves doesn't make it into GR Genre's unless it is hand picked via their process.
