It has a dark undertone as Kvothe has to face many hardships. 'Gardens of the Moon' by Steven Erikson is also a must - mention. It's the start of the 'Malazan Book of the Fallen' series and sets up a complex world full of different races, magic systems, and political struggles, all with a dark edge.
Some of the best ones include 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin. It has a complex web of characters, political intrigue, and a dark, gritty world full of magic and danger. Another great one is 'The First Law' trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. It features morally grey characters and a world where power is constantly being fought over in brutal ways. Also, 'The Kingkiller Chronicle' by Patrick Rothfuss is notable. It has a richly detailed world and a main character with a mysterious past.

Martin. It's known for its complex characters and political intrigue in a dark and brutal world.

😋I recommend the following novels to you: 1. <<Nine Worlds Farm>>: An ordinary girl is trapped in the Spirit End Realm, but she grows stronger in the process of earning money and cultivating, and the entire Nine Worlds return to normal. 2.

"Jin Xian Ji": The female protagonist was smashed back to when she was six years old. She regained her youth and vowed to be the pride of her parents, but she had to deal with the identity of a great god living in her heart. 4.

After opening the secret of the pearl, she begins the path of immortal cultivation and grows stronger.] The above is my personal recommendation. I sincerely hope you like it ~
Yes, they can be considered a form of dark fantasy. The themes of non - consensual - like situations (even if it's just in a fantasy context) and extreme sexual content are often associated with the darker side of human imagination.
Sure. 'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien is a great one. It has a vast and detailed world filled with magic, different races like hobbits, elves, and orcs. Another is 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin. It's known for its complex characters and political intrigue within a dark and brutal fantasy world. And 'The Witcher' series by Andrzej Sapkowski also fits the bill, following Geralt of Rivia in a world full of monsters and moral ambiguity.
