Laura Croft is highly sexualized, and therefore irrelevant to your argument. Anyways, the Hunger Games and Battle Royale are mere ripoffs of Running Man, an earlier work written by Stephen King.
As everyone has obviously stated before me, after if you are too dim-witted to catch on, here is my book review, of The Name of the Rose: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Think about it: your book is a part of many different genres! What genres is your book? Why?

The novel I've chosen to read is The Name of the Rose, written by Umberto Eco, and translated into English by William Weaver. Mystery - Several situations are presented, in which everyone has mysterious motives, unknown forces thrust the book into unknown regions. Mystery is the driving force of the story, and the whole origin of said book.
Crime - Horrifying murders are being committed by the unknown, whilst the main characters race to find the culprit, obviously classifying this as a mystery. The science of deduction is featured quite prominently, with the most stunning deductions, quite similar to Sir Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
Suspense/Thriller - Often goes hand-in-hand with mystery, since the unknown, and the mysterious often presents an undertone of suspense.
Historical Fiction - set during the 1300s, during an actual period in human history, highlighting the historic events that occurred in that time, mainly the religious conflicts and division that occurred, which also forms the back story of the novel.
Religion - All of the main characters are religious, the setting is a monastery, a religious sanctuary, the back story is entirely religious, the driving force behind character interactions is religion. If it wasn't apparent then, it should be now.
