Question of the Week: Fantasy Subgenres

It’s time for Question of the Week, which is intended to inspire interesting discussions of enjoyable topics.

This week’s question: what is your favorite subgenre of fantasy – high fantasy, epic fantasy, sword & sorcery, historical fantasy, urban fantasy, LitRPG, cultivation, or something else? No wrong answers, obviously.

For myself, I think it would be sword & sorcery. My ideal fantasy novel has a barbarian hero wandering from corrupt city state to corrupt city state, messing up the business of some evil wizards. I’m also very fond of what’s called “generic fantasy” – if a fighter, dwarf, an elf, and a wizard are going into a dungeon and fighting some orcs, I’m happy.
