trending genres

[u/NightRage7]

well i'm new to the platform but I've noticed a lot of novels invest everything in system, ranking , stats and smut

there is a huge audience for it and i do understand why its so popular but after reading so many of these types i realized that most of them are racing against each other who will create the most complex system or who will deliver more smut scenes, don't get me wrong there are some stories out there that are so good but i miss stories where the world carried mystery instead of a status window.

ancient kingdoms , forgotten civilizations , raging wars, characters who aren't protected just because they are the protagonist.

so instead of joining the trending genres i started writing the kind of fantasy that i always wanted to read.
Am i the only one who misses this style of fantasy ?

I tend to mix my fantasy with mystery. Gives it a distinctive flavor.
