Reply to comment by SpiderSmoothie in The Fifth Season and first person narrative really threw me off. by apocalypschild

It has zero classic scifi elements in terms of any real science. It is for all intents and purposes fantasy.

It's fantasy with a sci-fi bent. There is a big component of tech and how nature works in this world that is in the sci-fi realm. There's a lot of scientific aspects in the world building.

There are zero scientific aspects that aren't just fantasy mumbo jumbo.

Most SF has no scientific aspects that aren't just fantasy mumbo jumbo. I would recommend The Fifth Season as fantasy, but it's not less SF than Star Trek is.

Star Trek has internal rules and concepts that are extrapolating from today. It isn't c hard sci fi, but it is more Sci fi than fifth season
