Literally this, I think too many /a/nons don't know enough Western fantasy beyond the well known titles and just immediately wave it away
which makes them not realise that the West produces (or has produced, because the popularity of Western fantasy books is way past its prime) absolute mountains of fantasy slop, similar with the science fiction.
It's just simply not being discussed anywhere, meanwhile even the most pathetic isekai will get an occasional thread on /a/ or a mention on twitter or reddit.
Also, another infuriating fact about the English publishers,
they'll never translate any European fantasy books unless they're already super popular domestically, and you only know about some absolute gems if they get a fan translation at a crawling pace of one chapter per month.
