MODERATORS
Fantasy in general should be weirder, in my opinion. Too much of it is in the Tolkien mode. You are writing about a universe with things like magic. You can be as creative as you want.
Agreed, even worse then tolkien style, absolute majority is so bland and european-ish dnd style fantasy, without any actual weirdness of real european folk-lore. And they rarely deeply explore it as in how existence of this or that in the world would actually change it.
