5.1 - Taking Action
The damsel-in-distress, persecuted maiden, or princess-in-jeopardy is a classic trope in literature, art, film and video games; most notably in those that have a lot of action. Read a book with the MPG Action and/or Adventure. The genre may be standalone or embedded.

Please lock in Adventure"

So sorry, Kaora. You're message didn't show up in my notifications! And, unfortunately, Adventure isn't showing up as a MPG at the moment. If you catch it on the main page again, repost here as well as in the genre verification so one of the mods can catch it (hopefully).

Hi! Would count as an adventure? Found it on the Popular list of adventure books.

Hi, Midu. This task requires a book that has Action and/or Adventure as a main page genre (MPG). You can find an explanation of main page genres in the Frequently Asked Questions folder --> Main Page Genres.

Currently, The Martian has the following Main Page Genres:
GENRES
Science Fiction11,328 users
Fiction7,889 users

Since neither Action nor Adventure appear on the book's main page genres, no, this book will not work for this task.
