So, does anyone know any sources of fiction where western fantasy is put up against eastern fantasy? The only one I can think up is the Riftwar saga https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheRiftwarCycle Does anyone have any fanfics or know of stories with this kind of plot? and if people still don't know much of the East vs West scenario here is what I am thinking of, The West has: Mages, orcs, elves, men, western dragons, and dark lords and so on. While the East has: Men, martial artist, chinese dragons, Samurai, and so on. Know any sources of fiction like this?

Touhou vs well...everything.

It's called Rule (9) of the Internet for a reason.

The Dominions series features mythology and folk tales from all over the world — the Americas, Europe, Asia (and I think Oceania) and Africa.

EAST-SIDE MOTHERFUCKER

I am unaware of any stories that do it explicitly. But there are a few where it happens due to Fantasy Kitchen Sink. Technically, if you make a Charizard fight a Gyarados, that would count.

Order Of The Stick is like this, at least for the backstory and the paladin arc.

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.
