@@PetrikLeo as you well know, the fantasy genre gets a bad name. There is a stereotyped staple that marks it as childish and lifeless. I think this makes fantasy fans grasp for proof of prestige in the genre. I’m all honesty, I think it’s just important to remind ourselves that if we love a specific genre or book, why does it matter what the consensus think we should be reading or what others are interested in. If we enjoy a story, that should be all that matters, whether it’s popular or not. And you convey this so incredibly well. Thank you for creating that safe environment!
