I lean towards European-derived stuff because it’s been reprocessed so thoroughly it no longer matches any mythology. When someone writes about their people’s gods, I often get the feeling they actually believe this shit, and that’s not fantasy, that’s fucking religious fiction.

Of course, I’d love to see more stories that aren’t based around real-world myths.

I mean, the European stuff is generally reprocessed through a monotheist Christian lens, in very dull ways, so I don't see how that's any more interesting?

[feotakahari]

Just look at Etrian Odyssey. That’s European-derived via the Japanese fandom for the Wizardry games, but it’s been so mangled in passing from Europe to America to Japan that it’s no longer religious.

ETA: there is no god, only Ragelope.

(DA) it sounds like the "mangling in passing" is what gets it to the state you prefer, then, not the origin of the original content itself.

I'm really surprised that you seem to think that European-derived stuff doesn't match Christianity. Or is it that you think fantasy authors are atheists? This is honestly more racist than anything else, your assumption that when Other People do it, it's religious fiction, but it's fine when it's European because obviously it's fantasy.

[feotakahari]

Christian authors aren’t exactly subtle about it.
