High-fantasy 深度奇幻 v.s.
Low-fantasy浅度奇幻
Several subgenres of fantasy novels exist, including high fantasy, dark fantasy and comic fantasy.
High fantasy is commonly characterized by good fighting against evil. An example of this type of fiction is J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.
Dark fantasy novels usually include elements of horror.
Comic fantasy is a form of fantasy that involves humor.
high fantasy and low fantasy
The primary difference between high fantasy and low fantasy is the setting. In high fantasy, the story takes place in a secondary fictional setting that is utterly independent of the real world. In low fantasy, the story takes place in a familiar, real world setting.
