I only like military fiction in filmed formats. I will watch aaaaall the WWI-II stuff, but I'm almost always bored by the same content in the written form.

The exceptions are if it's only part of the larger story (ie, following characters through the period that includes the war); or if it's specifically spy/mystery fiction, in which I take it it very much on a case-by-case basis.

How do you define that?

The Forever War is pretty much military fiction, but it's also sci-fi and really good. It isn't blasty blasty pow pow alien guts ancronym

Yes, it still counts if it's also science fiction or alternate history. I mean, it's exactly what my dad is best known for writing and I'm still not into it.

I have a significantly harder time following a story about wartime strategies/diplomacy, battles, or front-line-life stuff in the written form. I don't really know why. That sort of thing needs a visual element to hold my interest. I do better with Home Front stories, but that's usually due to the lack of military tropes.
