At present, fantasy novel can be roughly divided into Western style and Japanese style.

Western fantasy has the deepest origin, from The Lord of the Rings to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, to ancient Greek and Nordic myths, it is branded with western culture everywhere.

This cultural system is very different from that of China, and it is almost impossible to communicate in many places.

Due to the cultural background, it is a little hard for readers in China to accept.

However, when it comes to the admiration for heroes and the pursuit and appreciation of heroism, the whole world is * * *.

Western fantasy is usually divided into "Hign Fantasy" and "Demonbane" (&; Witchcraft), the former pays more attention to literature (such as The Lord of the Rings), while the latter pays more attention to adventure and fighting, more like "action movies".

Japanese fantasy is actually the product of the combination of western fantasy and Japanese culture, and Japanese culture has the blood of China culture.

Therefore, compared with western fantasy, Japanese fantasy is more likely to win the closeness of China readers.

Coupled with the auxiliary promotion of wonderful cartoons, Japanese fantasy has easily made its way in China.

Japanese fantasy, to a great extent, is a combination of Japanese Bushido spirit, western fantasy stories and China's strategic wisdom.

The cultural foundation is weak, but it is entertaining, and the characterization is often very dazzling.

Some horror novels, with modern life as the background, add vampire, werewolf, ghost and other elements, which can barely be classified as fantasy, or marginal fantasy at the junction of fantasy novel and horror novels.

The so-called "historical novel" is usually a fictional world or a period of history, and then a legendary story is created on this basis. There is not much magic, witchcraft and genie in it. It is basically written in the form of historical novels, and the abilities of characters are usually not beyond the limits of normal people.

Although this kind of novel is unlikely, it is strong in authenticity, and it is regarded as the cross category between fantasy novel and historical novels.

Magic novels are by no means "magic", but have a completely different definition, which is far from what most people imagine.

Magic novel, that is, "magic realistic novel", is a literary genre mainly appearing in Latin America.

This genre's creative technique combines shocking reality with trance-like illusion, and tries to describe and reflect complex historical, social and political phenomena by absorbing and weaving plots through extremely exaggerated and staggered artistic brushstrokes.
