Why is Dune even considered good sci-fi? It’s more fantasy than Star Wars. Except for maybe replacing the ornithopters with blimps, you could change everything to a pseudo-medieval setting and it wouldn’t change anything in the story.
Why is star wars science fiction when its closer to a mix of fantasy and spaghetti western? We have often chosen to classify works based in large part by their tropes and trappings. I think its a good work because it explores interesting themes, settings, and characters with the trappings and tropes of science fiction.
The Dune books.
OK, not boring, but nowhere near deserving the praise they get.
I’ve only managed to get through the first two.
I love the Dune books and I agree.

If you don’t want me to root for someone don’t actively invest me in them over any other character.
What’s the best book you’ve ever read?

You’re the one making the rules. Just answer the question.

Lol. Seething. Right.
You’ve missed most of the point of the books. Do you actually read science fiction? If so what is a better example of good science fiction?
