Where have you been the last few decades?

Basically all fantasy, indie and tradpub, is Brandy Sandy style "muh magic systems" shit that's more about might and magic than character and story. You're seeing the KDP authors imitating the tradpub books that they love to read. Simple as that.

The whole genre is fucked. Visit any writing forum/board/group/etc where people are writing fantasy and it is all
>Does this magic system sound good?
>How's my worldbuilding?
>Does this power for the MC make sense?

The time of "Fairy stories" being used to espouse values, ideas, and lessons is long over. Same with scifi being anything about science and ideas and philosophy.

>Unless written by an author of color, she is not the right agent for thrillers, mysteries, procedurals, space operas, or historical fiction, and she is not currently looking for children’s picture books.

Need those Indigenous space operas.
