What kind of book can be called Western fantasy?

My view is that as a native Chinese, it is fundamentally impossible to write the kind of Western-style magic novel or chivalric novel.

There is no other reason, and the values are different.

It's impossible for you to really understand the values and shijie views of Westerners that seem to us to be extremely inexplicable, and where they are directly and overly enthusiastic everywhere.

If you talk about movies, then I'm really sorry, what is expressed in the movies, especially the American films, most of what they really embody are not what really existed in that era, and many European movies that can reflect unique characteristics are extremely niche, especially the French are even more obscure, and the British like to play sharp and detour everywhere.

And using our common sense to understand them is a very nonsense thing in itself.

Back to the point, what kind of book can be called Western fantasy?

In today's case, in the case that everyone is not very clear, as long as you can create an atmosphere, use a little dim sum in the name, and don't move around the Chinese classical things (especially ancient martial arts, Chinese medicine or something), it generally gives people the illusion of time and space, even if it is a Western fantasy.

The threshold is low, not high at all.

There are some people who are also writing Western fantasy, saying that the standard of this thing is very high, in fact, it is not necessary, after all, it is Chinese who read books and not foreigners, and foreigners are unlikely to like to read Western fantasy written by Chinese.

It's like Chinese watching "Aladdin", telling a Chinese story, but we all think it should take place in the Middle East.

If you can write Western fantasy well, as long as you can understand this period of history, don't deviate! Take a look at many of the more famous works of this period, understand its price level, productivity, and general trend, and nothing else, as for rhetoric and the like, it doesn't matter, we can teach what the teacher teaches, and I can't do anything else.

You can also watch the movie if you don't have a rut, it still has a market after all, and it still has a high reference value.
