In science fiction novels, like 'Dune', the description of the unique and harsh desert planet Arrakis is a great hook. The strange ecology, the valuable spice, and the powerful families vying for control make you eager to explore more about this alien world and the political and social struggles within it. It's a whole new world to discover.

For historical novels, in 'The Pillars of the Earth', the description of the building of the cathedral in the Middle Ages is a hook. It gives a sense of the grandeur and the challenges of that time period. The different characters involved in the construction, from the stonemasons to the nobles, and their intertwined lives and stories are all part of what makes the start so engaging.

But Tang Yu, it’s you who has issues!” The man put down the newspaper and agreed to what his young wife was saying, “Why would they write false information? Your zodiac is the pig!” “Tang! Yu!” She stomped her feet out of anger. The man grinned, “So what we have no kids? You are my little baby.” Pei Qiqi thought, how did this scene change so fast!

Well, there are continuation fanfics. These are like when a TV show ends but fans want more. For example, a 'Game of Thrones' fanfic that continues the story after the final season. Then there are crossovers. Say, a fanfic that combines the world of 'Harry Potter' with the world of 'Percy Jackson', so characters from both universes interact. There are also prequel fanfics. In the case of 'The Hunger Games', a prequel fanfic could be about the early days of Panem before Katniss was born, exploring how the Hunger Games came to be in more detail.

Sure. A 'coffee shop AU' is a type of Alternate Universe fanfic. For example, in a Supernatural coffee shop AU, Sam and Dean might be baristas instead of hunters.
