my issue with scifi is that it can be so doggedly plot driven when the story would be better served by being character driven to give it more impact.

big example, Honor Harrington. I literally skip anything that doesn't revolve around Honor herself b/c I don't care and want to find out when Honor does for better emotional immediacy. I have NEVER determined I missed anything by not reading the other political bits w/ characters that aren't Honor and don't interact with Honor.

But this is something that goes back to Asimov and you have a lot of people that go "this is the way scifi is supposed to be written" and it's like... not true. Especially when it does NOT appeal to today's audiences who want character driven, emotionally impactful stories with personal stakes type of stories.

Agreed. This is where my dad and I differ even though he's the one who got me into scifi in the first place. He loves Honor Harrington and Asimov and hard scifi. I just don't. I'm interested in characters and planets, cultures, alien species.
