Subgenre of Fantasy
High Fantasy
A world with its own physical laws/ developed characters and a magical like environment setting
Grimdark fantasy
Alike dark fantasy grimdark takes it a little bit more into the dark type of fantasies hints it name grim plus it has more of a needed mature audience as it consists of a lot of dark things
Sword and Sorcery
Like high fantasy this makes a strong focus on weapon wielding alongside the characters using different tools or making new friends with sorcery wielding
Fairy tale
Mainly for kids it's just a fairy land of trolls, dragons, witches and others more to come if told well enough it can become a serires like game of thrones with its dragons
Dark fantsy
A gothic type horror fantasy a amazing example is H.P Lovecraft their universe are an amazing dark fantasy a personal favourite of mine but grimdark holds a whole new love to horror and dark settings
Steampunk Fantasy
A world of Victorian type technology nothing really magical apart from the grinding of gears as the machines march with some magical things like resource
Urban Fantasy
Sort of walking dead type more modern day setting with mythical/ supernatural creatures sometimes even environmental structures or areas like fields are effected or causing the effect
