How to see full list of Audible titles for a certain category?

I just want to see all the Hard Science Fiction titles they have. There are supposedly 2200 of them. But the site only lets me see a list of the Bestsellers or New Releases for the category. This seems bonkers to me. Please tell me I’m just missing something here.
Bonus vindictive Audible tip-sharing :
You can login to Amazon marketplace sites worldwide using the same original region login / password, and you'll have an account created for that region.
After having done that, you can e.g. in a private browser window connect to different regional Audible sites and get their massively cheaper (imho the only way it's acceptable value) intro / don't go / come back to us offers that much more often.
I don't know about other marketplaces, as just doing this between EN / FR gets me more than enough to keep a backlog of listens going, but Audible.fr certainly has all of the titles I'm looking for in English.
The only hassle is that you do have to log out of the Audible app and then reconnect to it with a specific marketplace selected to access those titles.

Response by poster: I assume this was not done on a phone, right? Because ‘See All’ is def only an option for Bestsellers and New Releases (which are the only options I’m shown at all). I had even clicked ‘Full Site’ and still didn’t see the option. Sigh. I’m rarely on a desktop, but I’ll futz around with that later today.
And good to know about the Marketplace options. I’ll explore that too.
Thanks!

Ahh, sorry yes I was on desktop...
On the app logged into FR, I can do a search for "science fiction" and then via "filter" work through categories >>> Sci-fi fantasy >>> Sci-fi >>> Sci-fi subgenres

I had to go :
Home Page >>> scroll down >>> Genres >>> click Sci-fi & Fantasy
click Science Fiction
click Hard Science Fiction
click See all in Hard Science Fiction
Audible's interface has been increasingly enraging me, I switch between the UK and French sites, one of which recently got slightly changed and it then took me 10 minutes to just find my wish-list the other day...
