So what's the new mcdonalds genera now that (fat) women ruined fantasy?
How did they even get into fantasy... you know what never mind. It was pretty jarring though to search for something lite for a long drive and seeing "Claimed" in 3/10 of the "top" fantasy titles, all of which seem to be about furfag or vampire rape.

I haven't read a sloppa in a while so what are we doing now on that front?
Psychological fiction? Airplanes? What are we doing now fellas?

all the male writers turned trans and make video games now

What?
Fantasy has always been the third least hoe-scaring male-written genre after autobiography and detective fiction.
The peagantry and elitism more than makes up for the high flying extravagance.
>What are we doing now fellas?
Bring back the surprisingly brief but powerful era of sword and sandal intersecting with Lord Dunsany & Lovecraft style cosmic horror. It rather quickly collapsed back into just liches vs barbarians but there's a lot more to be done on that front.
I'd also suggest revisiting the even briefer era of Liberal Arts sci-fi (Foundation, Space Beagle, Dune, Diamond Age) where this or that segment of the humanities is fantastically exaggerated to the status of a preternatural asset and takes center stage vs the technology.
Sci-fi didactics for example could be neat and be a sufficiently strong Aesop about the quality of modern schooling to resonate with a broad base.

The current meta for sloppa is writing webnovels. Choose your flavour of retarded: xianxia (basically Chinese DBZ), xuanhuan (Chinese fantasy misery porn), litRPG (numbers go up) etc.
Nothing new really gets made these days other than Sanderson shit.

>xianxia
I have above an 80iq so i cant watch/reread the exact same story featuring the exact same stock character tropes 5000 times

im not asking for lit just a decently entertaining brain off story

The GoT hype really killed fantasy IMHO. It was already on life support but that kinda put it in the ground

If westerns suddenly became more popular than fantasy, femgroids would simply start writing cowboy porn. The only solution is to move on from the need for a "mcdonalds genre."
>>
>>25249013
They already write cowboy porn. It's the only thing keeping the genre alive.
But otherwise correct.
Men nowadays overwhelmingly just read self help and biographies.

Fantasy was always trash

>>25248919
Yeah, i noticed that too.

Its pretty much all him, does he use ghost writers or something?
>>
>>25249545
If he used ghost writers he'd be done by now.
>>
>>25248827
Could also mention that fantasy is usually mediaeval-coded. Women have been reading about shining armour knights since there actually were shining armour knights.

Brothers Grimm's folk tales are fine imho

My brother in law wrote to this author and he used my brother in law's name in this book.
