A writer of magic realism once said "I write high fantasy. That does not refer to sub genre but rather to the state of mind the author was in when he thought of the story."

[@agm5424]

Great video. The explanations for each genre were clear and straight to the point and were greatly complemented by great art that properly showed the imagery and feel of each of them. Also the icons used to represent each of the genres were one hundred percent on point. A good suggestion for a follow up video is one where you explain each of the subgenres of "punk fantasy: aether punk, quem punk, rust punk etc.

Low Fantasy! Im so glad i finally have a name for my taste in books.

[@instant.intellect]

at last...one usefull comment instead of crying about ai,glad i could help :]

[@ethangilbert7305]

I like to think of low fantasy as how people felt in medieval times to be true. In medieval times the world was much more mysterious and you heard stories of magic, gods, mythical creatures, you didn’t know weather it was true or not. It’s fascinating that in the minds of those real people, they lived in a fantasy world not much more different than the fictional ones we read about today.

[@wtfgebeurdmij2991]

​@@ethangilbert7305 Wow great desctiption, exactly my taste. No offense to people with different tastes but i personally dont really connect with a lead character that is able to ride dragons, move their hands to create magical beams of light and just so happens to be the strongest, sexiest, smartest male in this world. 😂 But i do like the sense of adventure. For example lord of the rings books are to much for me sometimes, but the movie adaptations are just right. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[@fernandogarcia3957]

​@@wtfgebeurdmij2991 Guy Gavriel Kay's books are definitely low fantasy. It may seem slow paced but he's a great master of writing and he's read by most of fantasy authors because he's a writer for the writers, or so they think. Maybe Robin Hobb too is to your liking...

[@hibiscut5708]

This was very interesting! Never knew that I was writing a Fantasy of Manners until watching this video. Very helpful, thanks!

[@instant.intellect]

your the forth writer im replying to in the comments, I'm glad you enjoyed and good luck with the book or your story :]

[@ssspaceman86]

I don't think High Fantasy = Epic Fantasy. These terms refer to different parameters. High and Low indicate the degree of the "strange attractor," meaning the amount of magic and/or the presence of the divine in everyday life. Meanwhile, Epic refers to the perspective or scope of the story, whether it involves entire kingdoms and nations or a smaller-scale context. For instance, The Stormlight Archives is Epic High Fantasy, The Shannara Chronicles is simply High Fantasy, and A Song of Ice and Fire is Epic Low Fantasy. By the way, I wouldn't classify Joe Abercrombie's First Law World as Dark Fantasy. It’s Low Fantasy through and through, focusing on characters' inner lives and political intrigue, where magic is extremely rare (even more so than in ASOIAF). At most, it might be labeled as Grimdark, though this widely used term isn't very descriptive. A good example of Dark Fantasy, on the other hand, is Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné series.

[@instant.intellect]

Thank you for your review. I think I phrased it poorly at the start. I might need to look it up again, as my sources mentioned that most epic fantasy falls under the umbrella of high fantasy since it typically occurs in a secondary world and involves grand, sweeping narratives. I wanted to highlight that relationship

[@Degrad21]

high fantasy describes the story beeing set in a fictional world. for example middle earth or westeros. Low fantasy means set in our world, for example in an underground society oder hidden from non magic beeings. You are right about epic tho.

[@Riccardo-ej8cd]

@@Degrad21 That's not the definition of low and high fantasy (even though it's so common used that it is wrongly reported pretty much everywhere). What you wrote is pretty much a consequence of the definition itself. In an high fantasy the presence of magic and magic creatures is so common that the world can't be really similiar to the real world, because those fantasy elements imply that the world followed a different path. That's why the high fantasy is usually set on different world (and when it isn't the geography of the world is meant to be the same, but pretty much anything else is meant to be different). In the low fantasy, on the other hand, the fantasy elements are so rare (and usually way less powerful) that they are basically irrelevant. They don't really have an impact on the history of the world. That's why it is usually set in the real world. For the exact same reason I wrote above, the high fantasy is usually associated with the epic fantasy (they're pretty much considered the same thing, even though they aren't really) and stuff like huge armies filled with magic stuff fighting for the future of the world (usually against some dark lord), while the low fantasy isn't associated with the epic fantasy and usually is about more personally stories, where the main character just defeat some kind of local minor villain

[@Degrad21]

@Riccardo-ej8cd no. Game of Thrones is a high fantasy even tho magic is fairly rare.

[@Riccardo-ej8cd]

@@Degrad21 You're talking like it is like that because you said that so it is like that... GoT in some ways can be considered something in the middle, or even both, depending on which part you're talking about. The early parts feel like it's a low fantasy (even though it's epic and set in an alternative world, I said that generally speaking low fantasy isn't like that, not 100% of the times), but then you literally have zombies armies that's pretty much an hing fantasy thing. Anyway, as I said, you said it's an high fantasy like if it's a thing set in stone, why do you say it's an high fantasy in the first place

[@NickGuelker]

So my choice is, Low, Dark and GrimDark. Thats super helpful to know. Thanks for keeping it short and sweet.

[@danielrood264]

I've never quite like the pairing of high fantasy and epic fantasy. A Song of Ice and Fire is, as you say, low fantasy but it is also very much epic fantasy in scope. It doesn't make much sense to call it both high fantasy and low fantasy.

[@natiwithluv]

Also in my mind ASOIAF was always classified as grimdark epic fantasy.

A fun video but you arguably missed two of the most popular subgenres right now: Romantasy (some might think paranormal romance covers it but I think the balance is different as the romance is more forground in PR like twilight, where something like 4th wing or ACOTAR has strong romance but at least as strong fantasy elements too) and LitRPG (A character who interacts with the world like in a video game with explicit progression leveling up and interacting with stats or rules).

[@instant.intellect]

[@danewright8145]

I’d also suggest cultivation fantasy or xian Xia is another sub genre that was missed here. Its much like Wuxai but has much stronger elements of magic and fantastical elements. I’d say That Wuxai is the sword and sorcery version of Xian Xia. Tao Wong’s A Thousand Li series is an excellent example

So, HP must be a cram of low-urban-adventure and crossworld fantasy, got it! I thought it would be mentioned where Dresden files were, and even expected it to compete with Twilight for some reason. You know, secret magic and magical beings within our world etc. I had forgotten about paranormal romance, I think it goes by "Romantacy" now. Have a Great New Year, Everyone!! 🥂😊

[@instant.intellect]

Yes, it also goes by Romantacy, have a great year my friend :]

[@annelyle5474]

I would argue that Romantasy tends to have more of a fairytale element, often with a dollop of Fantasy of Manners (for example A Court of Thorns and Roses), whereas Paranormal Romance is more like Urban Fantasy but with the romance factor dialed up to 11. Hence the emergence of a new term for a distinct subgenre.

[@ΕλληΦεαρινου]

@@annelyle5474 Is the setting more of a Cross-world, Urban or High fantasy then? I think 🤔 Romantasy may contain them all. A Paranormal Romance that happens in any of those spaces. Urban, is like happening in our 🌎 hidden, in our neighborhood so to speak. So Twilight Low, would be in a 🌍 that is allegedly not ours but reminiscent of . So something Dystopian, Historical or Sci-fi. Cross-worlds, is self explanatory. Coming and going to and from another realm. And finally High. Where it's a completely different planet, geographically, historically and perhaps, physics's wise. Thanks for your comment btw. 🙂 Sorry for any mistakes. It can be quite confusing. ☺️

[@ΕλληΦεαρινου]

@@annelyle5474 Thank you for the clarification. Subcategorization (is that even a word?) is rather confusing if I'm being honest, cause I haven't read that much for awhile now. From what I could gather, Romantasy may be contained in different settings, depending where the Paranormal Romance takes place. For instance: Urban is when it happens in our 🌎 hidden, in secret, right in our neighborhood, so to speak. That's Twilight. Low, would be in a 🌍 that is allegedly not ours but reminiscent of it. Something like Dystopian, Historical or Sci-fi. Fantasy of manner, was it? Cross-world is self explanatory. Going to and from another realm (possibly fairyland?) through some magic threshold. Then there's High. Happening in a whole different planet/world altogether. Geographically, historically and perhaps even physics's wise. Sorry if I got anything wrong, this is just my understanding. Fair chances and good odds! 😉

[@annelyle5474]

@@ΕλληΦεαρινου No, not exactly. Any fantasy subgenre can contain a romance subplot (just as scifi, mysteries, etc can include romance), but I would argue that Paranormal Romance and Romantasy are both subgenres of romance, not fantasy, because the love story is the main plot that drives the action. Most books categorised as Romantasy have a fairytale vibe to them, and are often retellings of classic stories like Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella.

Not sure I understood the difference between "dark fantasy" and "grimdark fantasy". Pretty sure Abercrombie's works are commonly called "grimdark".

[@instant.intellect]

In short, while both genres are dark, grimdark is more relentlessly bleak with a focus on pessimism, while dark fantasy can still incorporate moments of complexity and moral grayness with some potential for redemption.

[@JeshuaHicksAuthor]

I just want everyone to remember these are only categories. My book, along with most others, are never just one of these things. The story is the story. The world is the world. The characters are the characters. These are more about marketing than they are the writing itself. That doesn't mean you should ignore them, in-fact, lean into it to get the readers you want. If your book doesn't do any of these things, and you're writing fantasy, then you don't have readers. At the same time, don't get too bogged down with definitions. Are ASoIaF and First Law Dark or Grimdark? It depends on who you talk to. The same goes for most of these subgenres.

grimdark is actually a subgenre of dark fantasy itself but i mentioned it since its a famous one :]

[@marc-andrewelie7684]

I disagee with A Song of Ice and Fire being low fantasy. As long as I have been aware low fantasy's defining characteristic is that it takes place in our world. So Harry Potter is a great example of that sub-genre. Also High Fantasy and Epic Fantasy are not necessarily the same thing. Epic Fantasy is a sub-genre of High Fantasy but a High Fantasy novel isn't necessarily Epic in nature. High Fantasy is simply a story that takes place in a different reality with no relation or acknowledgement of our world, it's completely separate

[@instant.intellect]

Low fantasy can take place in our world or in a fictional world that somewhat resembles our own. Game of Thrones could still be seen as low fantasy because, while it’s set in a fully fictional world, the magical elements-such as dragons and the White Walkers-are rare and often met with skepticism by the characters. In contrast, in high fantasy, such magical elements are a normal and accepted part of the world. You're totally right about epic fantasy; I just mentioned it at the start since it’s really close to high fantasy, and I couldn’t explain all of them in detail :]

[@michaelbodell7740]

I agree with i.i that ASOIAF is low fantasy. Large parts of the plots and events are taken from actual history, and the magic is added to that historical context. And most of the interactions of the characters is non-magical political and family interactions.

[@ΕλληΦεαρινου]

I'd call it Mid-Fantasy. ASOIAF takes place in a totally different planet/star system but has plenty of historical and geographical inspired features from our own. Happy New Year, btw 😊

[@RaoulKunz1]

@@ΕλληΦεαρινου I'd say ASOIAF is essentially a High Fantasy world that isn't aware of it's nature, or to put it differently: it's High Fantasy seen through the eyes of Low Fantasy characters. But I'd say it's HF by virtue of it's "Planetary Romance" traits of the completely fantastical world. Bu then of course things like LotR or The Wheel of Time would change genres because they are not taking place in a different world but rather a imagined past-history or a very distant future. Great job trying to untangle all the genres btw. I'd still say that the old 1920s-1950s all encompassing genre of "weird fiction" is still a good way to summarize the genres of imaginative fiction because it makes the inter-connectedness evident.

Writing is a blend of everything. Categorizing books into genres just tries to accurately classify books into something we can more readily comprehend. Same applies for music. However, distinctive styles and genres do stand out in most books, even if others are more difficult to classify. For example, Game of Thrones has a lot of High Fantasy elements (Dragons, White Walkers) even though it does lean more towards Low Fantasy. Heck, you could have both High and Low Fantasy wrapped together equally, though I can't think of an example off the top of my head. There is no hard 'rule' that says an author has to stick to a specific genre.

You're promoting something because you have to "adapt" that isn't a good enough reason to promote AI slop it's gross and distasteful to all the real artist out there. Not to mention very disrespectful to artist who lost their jobs (like the ones you know) you're not adapting you're promoting a system of souless slop cause you're too lazy draw something yourself or hire someone else to do it. AI will never be art, and the use of it no matter the reason is just ignorant and/or cruel to real artist who put their life to their work. Please do better, either here someone or do it yourself. You're a good writer and have good video ideas, please don't support this kind of thing.

Uh...I was interested until the text-to-speech pronounced Stephanie Meyer as "Stevenie"...also, A Song of Ice and Fire is definitely High Fantasy......

[@instant.intellect]

sry bro , the actual genre is unfinished fantasy :@

[@ExodethOG]

You forgot Noblebright Fantasy.

[@instant.intellect]

Thanks for bringing it up, but there are many others I didn’t mention because they’re not as common :]

[@lemmonaade]

generative ai uses massive amounts of data, including artwork from real human artists who did not consent to ai using their pieces, this also includes copyrighted artwork. please dont support generative ai programs like midjourney! if you are an artist, use glaze & nightshade to "poison" your artwork and help contribute to the fight against this form of plagarism :)

[@instant.intellect]

as an artist i dont agree with you but i changed the artstyle and removed the ai.

[@lemmonaade]

@@instant.intellect nothing i said was opinionated

[@mdh_masalewale8681]

abercrombie is grimdark, not dark fantasy. Witcher is a much better example of the latter.

[@instant.intellect]

guess your right but they are really close since somehow grimdark is a subgenre of dark fantasy but witcher is a great example.

[@Riccardo-ej8cd]

Not that accurate imo, still a good job for a 12 minutes video though

[@instant.intellect]

thanks,but let me know whats not accurate

[@jerryfiore5818]

What you call Crossworlds most people call Portal. What about Progression and Harem?

[@instant.intellect]

hopefully i will update it :]

[@CollegeHacked]

The AI is pretty evident. The script reads like AI. The images look like AI. The voice sounds like AI. I couldn't finish it. I'm disappointed. It's a cool idea for a video, but I'm giving my watch time to someone else.

[@instant.intellect]

Thank you for your review and your time. I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know what bothered you the most,was it the voice or the images? I'm conducting an experiment, and your feedback would be really helpful.

Borderline unwatchable ugly AI slop. Lasted about 30 seconds

[@instant.intellect]

The entire PERN series by Anne McCaffrey is pure science fiction according to the author herself. No magic what so ever.
