No clue stuck too
Magical realism is SUPPOSED to mean "Our reality, our time, our culture, but with magic added"
Fantasy is SUPPOSED to mean "Another Reality, other cultures, different rules and lands, probably has magic"
...As you can no doubt imagine, most people on this site don't respect these distinctions and blur the lines like crazy.
You could, in theory, make the argument for Harry Potter being on the extreme end of "Magical Realism", while something like Lord of the Rings is "Fantasy", so to speak.
This, maybe a rude request, but Id love your thoughts on, this rework.

I think the lines get blurred a lot with the categories. I put my novel in the horror category, but in hindsight it probably fits better in fantasy. I like the tag system and think it's more accurate. Especially since most novels on this site are going to at least somewhat fit in the fantasy genre.
