What Are The Trending Wattpad Gxg Genres Right Now?

Wattpad’s gxg community is thriving right now, and the trends reflect a mix of escapism and real-world resonance. One standout is the surge in supernatural gxg stories, where vampires, werewolves, and witches navigate love across factions—'Blood and Moonlight' is a great example, blending action with tender moments. Another hot genre is workplace romance, especially in creative fields like music or art; 'Stage Lights and Secret Nights' explores a rockstar falling for her rival’s guitarist.

Historical gxg is also gaining traction, with authors reimagining eras like the 1920s or Victorian times through queer lenses. These often focus on societal constraints and stolen moments, like 'Silk and Sapphires'. On the flip side, slice-of-life contemporary stories about everyday queer experiences are huge, particularly those centering on cultural identity—'Chai and Confessions' follows two Indian girls navigating family expectations and first love.

Lastly, dystopian gxg is making waves, with protagonists rebelling against oppressive regimes while fighting for love. 'The Last Rebellion' pairs heart-pounding survival with a slow-burn romance. The diversity in these genres proves how dynamic Wattpad’s storytelling has become.

the gxg scene is exploding with some seriously addictive genres. Enemies-to-lovers is still a massive hit, especially in settings like rival sports teams or feuding families—think 'She Drives Me Crazy' vibes but with way more tension. Fantasy gxg is also trending hard, with authors mixing magic systems and queer romance in ways that feel fresh, like 'The Witch's Queen' where a sorceress falls for her sworn enemy. High school romances with coming-of-age themes are everywhere too, often blending mental health struggles with sweet, slow-burn relationships. Dark academia gxg is another rising star, with plots full of secrets and forbidden love in elite schools. The common thread? Emotional depth and chemistry that keeps readers hitting 'next chapter' at 3 AM.

As someone who devours gxg stories daily, I’ve noticed Wattpad trends leaning heavily into niche fantasies and emotional realism. Royalty romances are everywhere—imagine 'The Princess and the Spy', where a rebellious princess falls for her guarded knight. The tropes are classic, but the queer twist makes them feel brand new.

Another big trend is gxg in competitive settings, like baking shows or esports. 'Glazed and Confused' is a fun rom-com about rival pastry chefs, while 'Headshot Hearts' dives into gamer rivals turned lovers. These stories thrive on rivalry-fueled tension and shared passions.

On the darker side, psychological thrillers with gxg relationships are rising, like 'Trust Fall', where trust issues and obsession collide. Lighthearted fluff isn’t gone, though; coffee shop AUs and fake dating still dominate the cozy corner of Wattpad. The platform’s beauty lies in how it caters to every mood—whether you want heartache or happily ever afters.
