Hi there, I think to decide what genre you want it to be in, you need to think about what the overarching plot is, not just the elements. I’m currently writing a murder mystery that includes a ghost, and probably could’ve classified it as mystery or fantasy as well. But I ended up putting it in mystery, because the murder plotline is what’s driving the story. So what is your story actually ABOUT? Is it about the solving the crimes committed while living in a fantastical world? Or is it about living in a fantastical world where crime exists?
