Great job making this video, which resulted in an intriguing list! One of the things I enjoy about lists like this is how they can give a sense of the rich array of timeless stories fantasy offers. Thank you for the video!
Truly! I was amazed when I got more than 1000 books, but then again the list overall is not super surprising which I guess talks about the long tail of “not as popular” books vs the currently most known! Thank you so much for watching!
Videos like this are so helpful. I am 45 years old, and have been reading primarily fantasy books since I was 7, and i haven't heard of many of these series. I don't know how i missed Robin Hobb! Thank you for all the work you did in making this video! Subscribed.
I am so shocked! Its probably because I only pay attention to book tube but I have barely heard of the Broken Earth and I am stunned that Stormlight, GOT and WOT are all outside the Top 5
I've only read four or five of these. Tolkien will always be my favorite. Someday, check out The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien, and The Fall of Gondolin that Tolkien's son completed (more or less) from his father's incomplete or partial works.
I love your content!! i´m a fan of you channel , I wanted to know if you have any tips and tricks to start reading in English, I do have a good english level but for some reason reading fantasy for example in that language is a bit intimidating so do you have any tips?
Thanks! Umm I’d say that TJ Klune for example is very accesible! Also T Kingfisher in my opinion! I will try with standalones first and then go to longer series!
I live for how Thai is like COME ON ISA, LOVE ME 😂😂 And wow, I've actually read or started a grand total of 3 on this list, which is admittedly 2 more than I was expecting!
Not sure how I should feel about having read everything on this list, and the entire series at that 😂 #9 surprised me, I didn't expect it to be that high, or here at all :/ #1 is such a shocker, amirite
Wow, lot’s of excellent books here but a few highly questionable positions. Most notably Stormlight (which I think should be in the top 5 or possibly top 3) but also Broken Earth (of which I’m surprised made the list). I agree with what you said about recency bias, however, but I also see a lot of “let’s hate the popular guy” mentality going on around Brandon Sanderson. I’ve can’t tell you how many scathing hate rants (which were supposed to be reviews) I’ve seen regarding The Stormlight Archive. It’s pretty shocking, to say the least, to hear so many people call him “a terrible writer” and refer to his books as “unreadably bad.” What makes it sadder is that you can clearly tell, while reading these reviews, that many of these people haven’t even read the books. I absolutely believe that hate bias massively skewed this series’ positioning on this list.
If I see the lord of the rings or Harry Potter in peoples top lists again I don’t think I will ever read them. They belong in a classics “obviously good” list and we are sick of seeing/hearing about them! We want to hear about other books please. Unless people live under a rock I think we know the lord of the rings is good. Let’s move on please.
wow the amount of research that went into this video must've been insane!

You should do a top twenty single-volume fantasy list.
Yeah! I might do that in the future!! Thank you for the idea!

I will! I am just starting with Tolkien but for sure will continue!
I enjoyed this a pace a lot! You have done a ton of research for this, thank you!
Thank you so much Kiala! It drove me nuts haha but really enjoyed the process!

Tai doesn't seem to agree with the rating lol!

I was also really surprised! It broke my heart to see that 😭
Stop what you are reading right now and read Malazan!
