Ryan, I can tell you from the experience of having written one, long epics do not sell very well at all.

As it happens, Ryan, a long slow immersive epic is exactly what I wrote! If you'd care to read and review The Wizard of Kharathad, I could email you a free PDF.

For me, it's darker settings and noir-style narration. When I combine that with cyberpunk (and even other sci fi sub-genres), the result is something that grips me and doesn't let go. In particular, I draw your attention to Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon.

I love well-crafted and entertaining stories that inspire me in non-obvious ways.
