I was dissatisfied with the hodgepodge within the work list and tried to sort the works into more categories, but I am not really satisfied.

I feel like we should keep literary fairy tales (like the Hans Christian Andersen tales) separate from traditional folk tales. But the classification, as well as the distinction between literary fairy tales and "fairy tale fantasy" (or mere fantasy, for that matter) is not as easy as I thought.

A wholly different sorting principle would be to sort by medium. Any ideas or comments how this index should best be organized?

Let's just say and leave it at that. Hide / Show Replies

I think the current model seems fine. It distinguishes between folk fairy tales and literary ones. However, maybe a paragraph could explain the difference as well

oh hey how are you doing?

It seems the new game Child of Light also counts as this. :)

I think someone in the comments said that game also reminds them of Ni no Kuni, which I guess that sort of counts...
