You can't imagine how let down I felt. I had genuinely believed that Dungeon Defense was one of the best fantasy novels because of how the author could skillfully write mature philosophical themes. Then I later discovered that the author copied word-for-word from past philosophers. Nevertheless I think DD is still a novel that's worth giving a read.

Have you ever seen a K-drama before? Some of them are actually pretty good and have meaningful themes they try to convey. Think about the movie "Parasite" but imagine it in a fantasy world, many modern Korean novels explore drama in a similar way. The world-building, exploration, discovery, technology, etc. are still there, sometimes they are the main themes (admittedly they aren't as good as your favorite sff novels) sometimes they provide backdrops for the drama and personally those books are quite good.

some recent films that are great:

parasite
the lighthouse
uncut gems
