How can I make a dropdown that changes based on the first dropdown's answer?

How can I make a dropdown that changes based on the first dropdown's answer?

I don't have much experience with Google Sheets, but I'm trying to make a book tracking spreadsheet. I've already written down a list of the genres and subgenres specific to the first genre.

How can I make it so you are forced to choose a genre in the first column, and afterwards, the subgenre list has options pertaining to that specific genre only? For instance, if my book is fantasy, I can click that as the genre, and when I move to the subgenre cell, the dropdown only shows specific fantasy subgenres.

Also I feel it is important to note that not every genre has a subgenre, so that's also made it kind of confusing while I was working on it.

Here's what I got so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HtYIohmmwO1a-Q_MeoiFgHu83EAFCtErky7gputHVJ0/edit?usp=sharing

edit: i've figured it out! thanks for all the help!!

I’ve been getting into historical fiction again, for the first time since I was a kid. I‘ve read a few books that I’ve absolutely adored, but now I’m kind of stuck.
I’m mainly looking for books about queer or feminist history, and also fiction. I never read nonfiction. Also, I do prefer female protagonists, but I’ll read male if the story’s good.

Queer historical fiction that I’ve enjoyed:

The Lilac People by Milo Todd

Girls, Girls, Girls by Shoshana von Blanckensee

These Heathens by Mia McKenzie

Feminist historical fiction that I’ve enjoyed:

The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali

Daughters of Shandong by Eve J. Chung

The Celestial Wife by Leslie Howard

Women of a Promiscuous Nature by Donna Everhart
