Re: Fantasy fiction

[(Anonymous)]

Um, I would say just the strong emphasis on multi-book series. The inability to get away from tired epic fantasy tropes and/or the subversion of them in ways that are pretty much just as tired. The emphasis on world-building in a fairly boring, diagrammatic way. The consistently adolescent emotional themes (cf The Name Of The Wind). The relatively restricted tonal range. The emphasis on structure in an incredibly facile way that leads to complete clonal sameness. And I think you can make similar critiques, with slightly different details, in most of the popular subgenres of fantasy.

It's just a genre that is way too happy about staying in its own lane, even when that lane has a lot of really frustrating problems.

I should be clear, though, that my comment was more about what's popular in fantasy than anything else.
