Will These Be the Top 10 Fantasy Series of All Time?
728Hi everyone! Today's video will be about the Top Fantasy Series of All Time! But this is not my personal list and ranking. I have seen comments saying that what's popular and well-loved on booktube doesn't mean they're in the same boat outside of booktube. Although I agree with this statement on many occasions, I can't help but wonder whether the notion will apply when we're comparing the most-voted fantasy series of all time from two different social media platforms. In this case, Booktube and r/fantasy.
And the result? Well, I think it is interesting. Especially considering the vast difference in the number of votes between the two sources I used. Around 50 booktuber votes versus almost 10,000 votes on r/fantasy. Let me know what you think about this list! This video isn't created to pit or judge which list is better than the other. Honestly, the video might not serve any purpose. I just made it to satisfy my curiosity on whether the results will be similar or totally different when we're comparing Booktuber's picks versus r/fantasy votes? Big difference in quantity considered! And I might as well share the results with you.
