This may be stating the obvious very plainly, but every genre has an accompanying emotion that it is meant to evoke. They are:
Fantasy - Wonder
Sci-Fi - Wonder
Romance - Love/Warm Fuzzies/Heat
Mystery - Curiosity
Thriller - Anxiety/Anticipation
Horror - Anxiety/Fear/Anticipation
There are other genres and other emotions they're meant to evoke, but at least once in every story you have to hit these notes. A fantasy novel where nothing is out of the ordinary is just a historic fiction, which is a great genre! But it is not fantasy! Without the wonder of magic or strange cities or weird curses, it isn't what the reader wants.

being a teenager was just. one maze day after another but somehow it all felt so sweet!
