Is there a term for what Harry Potter is? It's not high fantasy since it's technically here, but it's not urban fantasy either (except maybe technically?)...
I think that the only "only you can save the world" stories that I want are the ones where the world-saver is someone who would not be doing the heroics otherwise...but most of them use a character who wants to do the right thing anyway and are just out of their depth. Where are the stories about, like, assassins or serial killers or drug dealers who are only saving the world because they need it to still be around for them to survive?
Also what would be fun? Historical fantasy where the main character can't get any information on the supernatural beings (except straight from the horse's mouth) because they're from a different part of the world. "Yuki onna? Is that kind of like a kelpie?"
