@ronak Honestly I don’t think it comes under just one genre, but a mix of aspects of different ones. There’s time travel, robots, genetic engineering, gods, mythical creatures and magical beings in the same setting. TV Tropes calls it a ‘fantasy kitchen sink’ and I part agree with them:

Fantasy Kitchen Sink - TV Tropes

What happens when All Myths Are True is turned Up to Eleven? You get a Fantasy Kitchen Sink! Everything is true, even if it comes from vastly different origins. So not only are there really dragons, there are fairies, ghosts, vampires, werewolves …
