What is Fantasy manga?

Fantasy is a genre of fiction that uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary element of plot, theme, or setting. Many works within the genre take place in fictional worlds where magic is common. Fantasy is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of (pseudo-)scientific and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three (which are subgenres of speculative fiction). In popular culture, the genre of fantasy is dominated by its medievalist form, especially since the worldwide success of The Lord of the Rings books by J. R. R. Tolkien. In its broadest sense however, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends to many recent works embraced by a wide audience today. Fantasy is a vibrant area of academic study in a number of disciplines (English, cultural studies, comparative literature, history, medieval studies). Work in this area ranges widely, from the structuralist theory of Tzvetan Todorov, which emphasizes the fantastic as a liminal space, to work on the connections (political, historical, literary) between medievalism and popular culture Source: Wiki

Description:

A disastrous beginning—god-tier progression! The protagonist, a jobless man barely scraping by with part-time work, drifts around like a wandering orphan. His only joy in an otherwise dull and unchanging life is the online game God-Forsaken World. To him, it’s more than just entertainment—it’s an escape from reality. Then one day, while immersed in the game, he hears a mysterious voice from nowhere. When he comes to... he finds himself inside the world of the game! You’d think that after being transported into a game, he would become a cool, powerful protagonist... but no. He wakes up as the Empire’s disgrace and failure of a third prince: Gilroshan Elro de Valt. And if things couldn’t get any worse, the moment he opens his eyes, someone tries to kill him! Trapped in the body of an overweight, pathetic prince scorned by all, the protagonist has one secret weapon—a strategy guide, the key to survival that only a veteran player like him possesses! With the stumbling prince, his loyal knight Carls, and his fearsome yet reliable mage mentor Tirvaen, a new adventure begins—one more intense than reality itself! “Survive in the body of a good-for-nothing prince? It’s not going to be as easy as playing the game.” This is an unpredictable fantasy full of laughs, battles, and non-stop survival action! (Source: KakaoPage, translated)
