It saddens me that any of the web novel sites where Dark Fantasy stories are in the minority nowadays. Reading Today isekai was boring and outlandish where every plot was the same and tropes stuff. It doesn't give me the feeling like a Dark fantasy story, It doesn't mean I'm edgy or sociopathic where one scene of a Military corrupt operation massacred the entire village for shock value. I was referring to the symbolism and understanding of how the world where complex which drove every reader insane.

Go to my sig file and read HKN if you are looking for dark mature fantasy. Give it until chapter 20, because it is HARSH to begin with.

If you have no intent of reading the story, here's the summary:
HKN is an isekai about a guy who kills himself a few times and is building weapons of mass destruction because he wants to build up enough Good Karma doing heroic deeds to get his dead wife and daughter back. I spend the first 19 chapters kicking him in the teeth. The body he gets Isekai'd into gets hit with a magic slave collar using the true name of the original occupant who comes back from the dead. They are two souls stuck in the same body.

They then get turned into a demon and are forced into trying to murder the original body's one true love and sister. In the end, the only way they can regain control of the monster they have turned into is to let go of their internal pain, which involves the MC dealing with the fact an act of mercy on his part got his whole squad killed, and the original Body's soul has to get over the fact his mother was dying from all the sexually transmitted diseases she contracted trying to get enough money to raise him, so she begged him to put her out of her misery. At the age of 8, he smothered his own mother with a pillow to end her torment.

If they cannot forgive themselves and regain control, they will beat the original body's soul's sister to death with their own bare hands.

That dark enough fantasy for you?

I agree, with everything said here, the best stories are those that drive you insane.

I like both. I even like the shock value stuff. I am reading Solo Leveling right now for the first time, and every cringe one-liner makes me want to write more edge.

On the other hand, I also like slice-of-life. I especially love the mystical and whimsy stuff, like 100-year-old witches making potions or doing crafting.
