It's kind of a matter of opinion that high fantasy is more idealized than low fantasy, especially since you can have a more idealistic low fantasy story versus a more cynical high fantasy one.

You had to go there lol. What about women who have a lot of muscle, but don't look really muscular because they have a decent layer of fat over it, and look more like non-short fantasy dwarves (super solid tanks)? For example 6' 240-250 lbs but not really fat looking (on the slightly chubby...

I suppose, but usually sci-fantasy is associated with well, science-y trappings like technology, I doubt many publishers would market a story about superhuman medieval-style warriors as sci-fantasy unless they fight aliens or something. Personally I think what I describe would just be...

Alt-Earth would only apply if the world is highly similar to Earth, like with the same continents at least I'd think...

Those are more specific than just no-magic, none would generally fit a fictional medieval-style world just with superhuman humans. :D

Another example which I mentioned in the other thread would be if people clearly have different limits than ones in real life, it can be a fantasy element without being explicitly supernatural/magic. Ie: "So if the world has 500' monsters and human girl warriors who can beat those monsters in...

The idea people have that a world without explicit magic can't be fantasy is strange to me. So if the world has 500' monsters and human girl warriors who can beat those monsters in melee along with killing hundreds of men in a single day, tanking the equivalent of .50 calibur bullets to the...

Yeah I'm wondering if somebody tries to go the suicide via mass murder route (ie. killing wantonly until somebody kills you to stop you), will the curse stop them?

And a second one (song starts at 21:56, it's the ending theme):

As in, share some songs that really embody the themes you tend to write about. I'll start - Abundant Girl Pride! XD

I usually prefer to start the protag off with years of training at the beginning of the story (and usually practical experience too) rather than showing them as a complete newbie who then goes through 10 years or whatever of training, sure it makes them seem like less of an "everyman" but no...

Many of mine tend to be kind and gentle under peaceful circumstances, I can imagine one of the overaggressive supposed badasses mocking them only to realize when actual enemies attack...

That comes off as insecurity to me because it implies they feel they are in a competition with all other females. If most of mine were looking for competition it would not be in the general female population or even male population, but among other elite warriors and um, powerful monsters. :D I...

I would like to see a twist on this where the heroine chooses the nice guy for the sake of the bad boy, because she feels that long term the bad boy's ego wouldn't be able to handle her being the "alpha" in the relationship. :D

I prefer ones who are the best (or one of the best) and special because of their skills. They tend to have superhuman (by real world standards) physical attributes too but it's attributed more to their training and some degree of inborn talent than explicit magical gifts. Cute warrior champions. :D
