From the discussion
jgilias suggested writing both genres at once ('Why not both?') in response to the genre dilemma.
“Why not both?”

boznz clarified that the work currently blends both genres, but because past experience with crossing genres was not great, the final book will probably lean heavily on one genre.
“That is what it is at the moment, but my experience from crossing genres in the past was not great so I will probably lean more heavily on one for the final book.”
