Write focusing on your interests. In that way, what you write has more chance of being interesting.

Your point about copycats is based on a false perception of the situation. What is happening is that publishers are constantly receiving manuscripts of all kinds. When they see that such-and-such a type of novel is selling, they select, out of the manuscripts they have already received, similar novels and, after due editing, quickly release them to market.

Therefore, it is useless for you to chase a trend - you will already be too late. Write what you enjoy in the hope that your work will be the next hot thing.
