The idea of being wandering around and being clueless is completely antithetical to the Christian foundation of "classical" fantasy set up by Novalis, George MacDonald, Lord Dunsany, Tolkien, and the rest of The Inklings.

Hell, the idea of Doomer fantasy sounds a bit odd since the fantasy genre was birthed out of post-Kantian philosophy and early German Romanticism.

Unless the new authors take notes from books like Tripmaster Monkey, which shows a depressed and pissed off Californian playwriter coming to terms with his mystical Chinese heritage, I can't picture Doomer fantasy being any more better than the modern stuff we have now.

However, I will applaud a doomer fantasy book if it's honest and does not try to be some carbon copy of Terry Brooks or a DnD campaign.
