Every fantasy story for teen girls is "this unremarkable mid that no one ever noticed bumps into the best man that ever lived and he quits everything to worship her right away because he saw that she was secretly the smartest and prettiest of all"
Every fantasy story for teen boys is "this significantly-taller-than-average guy had courage and perseverance and luck and the perfect set of skills and he got the right advice from experienced wise men along the way and that's why he was able to do something amazing and SUPER unlikely to succeed but he managed to save everyone's lives and so he won the attention of a girl slightly above his market value who did nothing but hold her hands over her open mouth and watch while he spit in the face of death"
