POOR WRITING!
I've read plenty that have an excellent story (they have a fully developed, beautiful world), but their storytelling is so poor I couldn't stand pulling myself through to get to the end. And tragically, several of these authors have that "compareable to Tolkien at his best." SO untrue. Makes me sick.

Fantasy and Sci-fi seem so close to me.

I always disliked Space Opera.

But there are good writers in every sub-genre.

Like... Piers Anthony. One of the first authors I read.

And I read just about every original Conan book that
Rober E. Howard wrote. Those were damn good for a 14 year old.
Though the English teacher didn't like me making book reports on them.

Iguess she wanted me to be reading Jane Eyre, or something.
Something romantic, all about the magic or eternal love.
Nah, I thought. More like a massive ape on an island
trying to crush Conan's sinewy neck...

Can I add the following types of title?

"The somethng and the something" as in 'The Warlock and the Warthog' or 'The Wizard and the Lizard'

or
Titles in a series which are just the franchise name and a job
The Warlords of Bong
The Magicians of Bong

or

The hero and something

Kongar the Barbarian
Kongar the Pirate
Kongar's Sword
Kongar's Bannana
