I do read the secret as suggesting they like "Asian" "non-tribal/shamanistic" settings along with western european, which is bonkers to me since Asian settings are very different from European and can be, as airt said, tribal and shamanistic. But you do have a point that monoliths should be broken down. I feel like a lot of sword-and-sorcery high fantasy is distinctly English/French based with the barest smattering of Germanic and Renaissance Italian, but almost never Norse, nor Eastern European, not even Spanish. Whether it's the history of the region, its culture however changed or influenced by other cultures, or the mythological bases that underly a lot of fantasy, there's so much to work with everywhere in the world.

But, then, I go back to the secret and OP putting Asian AND Western European fantasy together that leaves me scratching my head, wondering which Asian fantasy they mean.
