The Biggest Fantasy Series/Universes of All Time is Not What You Think | 15 Big Fantasy Universes.
1,047Hi everyone! Today's video will be about 15 of the biggest/longest fantasy series or universes of all time. When we think or discuss the biggest fantasy series/universes, I think most of us will think of a few popular series like The Wheel of Time, Malazan Book of the Fallen, The Realm of the Elderlings, Discworld, and The Stormlight Archive. Some of you might know already, but the number 1 biggest fantasy series of all time right now is not any of those...
(As a disclaimer, I mentioned this in the video, but this list will not be 100% accurate as I fail to find the actual word count for plenty of other fantasy series and universes. MANY self-published fantasy series/fantasy webnovels won't appear on this list due to that reason. But I think this video should give you an idea of how massive these fantasy series/universes are. And one more thing, this list consists of English-based stories because that's the language I usually utilize to read the books I'm reading.)
Let me know how many you have read, have you read the biggest fantasy series yet, and what do you think about them?
