Dragonshit vs Capeshit

So since most dramanauts are neurodivergent, this seems like an interesting topic.

Which one of the fantasy universes is more beloved here, Chads of the Ring or Game of Soys?

If you don’t mind a slight threadjack, are there any other fantasy book series people here would recommend?

I’m trying to find lesser known ones that aren’t Young Adult-ified and or r-slurred.

I’m not sure. I really like worldbuilding and long running continuity, which are neuroverge traits. I can like low and high fantasy. I appreciate the politics and character focus of the former and the really out there magic and premises of the later.

I don’t like a lot of fantasy tropes though, like one-dimensional villains or generic elves/dragons/whatevers that could just as easily be any other setting’s generic elves/dragons/whatevers. I don’t like cheesy adventure stories, but I don’t like extreme grimdark either.

David Gemmel is schlock but it's got a certain something that just works really well.

The original Conan stories are good too but they are just short stories.

Gene Wolfe- the book of the new sun is very very good but it's literature sci-fi

The Sword of Truth series obviously

Hissing, hackles lifting, the chicken's head rose.

Kahlan pulled back.

Its claws digging into stiff dead flesh, the chicken slowly turned to face her. It cocked its head, making its comb flop, its wattles sway.

"Shoo," Kahlan heard herself whisper.

There wasn't enough light, and besides, the side of its beak was covered with gore, so she couldn't tell if it had the dark spot. But she didn't need to see it.

"Dear spirits, help me," she prayed under her breath.

The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in her heart she knew it wasn't. In that instant, she completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People's chickens. But this was no chicken.

This was evil manifest.

Also

A plump, curly-haired woman took a step out from the others. Her round face was red with anger as she screamed. "Stop the hate! No war! Stop the hate! No war!"

"Move or die!" Richard yelled as he picked up speed.

The red-faced woman shook her fleshy fist at Richard and his men, leading an angry chant. "Murderers! Murderers! Murderers!"

On his way past her, gritting his teeth as he screamed with the fury of the attack begun, Richard took a powerful swing, lopping off the woman's head and upraised arm. Strings of blood and gore splashed across the faces behind her even as some still chanted their empty words. The head and loose arm tumbled through the crowd. A man mad the mistake of reaching for Richard's weapon, and took the full weight of a charging thrust.

Men behind Richard hit the line of evil's guardians with unrestrained violence. People armed only with their hatred for moral clarity fell bloodied, terribly injured, and dead. The line of people collapsed before the merciless charge. Some of the people, screaming their contempt, used their fists to attack Richard's men. They were met with swift and deadly steel.

That's great and all, but I asked for my burger without cheese.

Riftworld Saga by Raymond Feist (and some of the following series in the same universe), though it probably counts as YA (at least I read it as a teenager).
