Well it’s about books. I’d be happy to crosspost to a better place if I missed it :)

I’m very fond of comments in discussion forums reviewing this kind of literature.

Interesting? Less than six minutes long? No ads? I’m astonished!

They are both well written, and when I’m in the middle of either book I’m completely absorbed in its world. In that moment, I’m not thinking about realism at all.

It’s only when I put the book down that questions like that come up.

Narnia doesn’t feel real to me in the same way LOTR does because our world is involved in it. All isekais are like that to me
