"King of Thorn" is a Science Fiction narrative that incorporates hallmark elements of the genre such as a catastrophic viral outbreak, advanced cryopreservation technology, and an apocalyptic survival scenario. Typically, sci-fi stories explore futuristic science and technology and their impact on humanity; here, the mysterious "Medusa" virus serves as a catalyst for societal collapse, while cryopreservation reflects speculative biomedical advancements. What sets "King of Thorn" apart is its fusion of sci-fi with horror and psychological thriller elements—after awakening from cryogenic sleep, the characters confront not only external monstrous threats but also internal human conflicts amidst chaos. This blend enriches the genre by deepening emotional and suspenseful layers, distinguishing it from conventional post-apocalyptic or pure science-driven science fiction titles.
