Since I've started taking up fantasy writing, I've been watching and reading many related content on YouTube and Google. Now, I'm starting to see some recommendations of videos on topics that state that traditional tropes are overdone. I've only seen a few such as this one. But it made me wonder if these tropes mentioned in the video are overdone (according to this one creator). What is meant to be used instead?
Is constantly developing unique tropes mandatory to writing more interesting fantasy novels? What are your thoughts on this? Personally, I thought that many stories centred around classical tropes that have been around for a long time.
