A Goodreads user asked Roberta Pearce:

Who is the hardest genre in literature? Best regards: A. Tomov – junior

Roberta Pearce I'm not sure I can answer that definitively without causing a riot, Alexander! For me personally, I couldn't imagine writing a complicated fantasy or sci-fi novel. As a romance novelist, I know some people think it's easy to write, but it really isn't . . . in fact, I'd have to say that authoring a good, convincing story - regardless of the genre - is hard work. Some writers will have a natural affinity for one genre over another, but I'd never suggest to any that their aptitude makes it "easier"!
