so first of all i want to talk about how there are multiple genres of fantasies and this will be very subjective thread of what I enjoyed myself. So if you want to reply then kind of just add your own comments on how youfeel and whether you agree, but not like just yesman bullshit. So I really like crazy fantasy or weird fantasy, that feel surreal. because this is OG fantasy to me.
OG Fantasy would be a imitation of a fairy tale, or contemporary fantasy. when you look at a guy or girl entering the world that has supernatural explanation, that on itself is a form of contemporary urban fantasy that I enjoy
I really like stories like fate or paranormal ones kind of where the character finds something mysterious, and i am adult so i know ghosts dont exist but i cant say for sure that ghosts dont to me it might be very possible that therei s real life mystery and that is also where its conencted to folklore, so to speak to this day folklore exists and develops. contemporary lore explores artificial attempt to make that feeling of mystery you get from real urban folklore.

So like its one thing to name like a stand over your beloved pop culture song, another when you have a guy renaming old words that had entirely different meaning over something else. like why use etruscan language or sumerian language or whatever and corrupt it like that for your story? that is just minor issue, the bigger issue is playing god trying so hard to make this world that at the end of the day ccannot be created by one guy. right? so it will always feel fake. of course youre gonna argue well writers for warhammer is not jsut one guy so it should be better. well it turned out it wasn
