[though she finds it funny rather than insulting.]
It's a little hard to put into words. But if I had to say, then, hmm... When the emotions are depicted so vividly, that you can't help but to laugh and cry along with the characters. As long as I can experience that, the genre is secondary to me.
Y-you...you're trying to trick me into revealing my preferences so you can laugh about them.
And I couldn't give your p-proper recommendations like that. An emotional journey is a contract b-between yourself and each novel you read, and it will r-rarely play out the same between any two people! If you don't have an example I can't make any assessment at all!
Oh? [looking at her like one might look at a puppy who started growling after being given a treat. tsk, tsk.] You have a very vivid imagination... I'm not surprised, though. You are a novelist, after all.
[the way she is like you are all my pound puppies kills me.
Fukawa grimaces.]
Th-that's just how people are. I've s-seen and heard enough to know...
[But. Hm. Gritting her teeth and glancing away.]
I could...assemble a l-list of books for you. Maybe they w-won't all be what you l-like but at least one of them should f-fit your incredibly vague criteria.

That would be wonderful, actually. I'm looking forward to it.

Well.]
Th-then...I'll send it over when I can. Just d-don't blame me if I c-can't peer into your mind palace and pick out the world's perfect story for you.
