Something which I've been wondering for a while, even though I suspect the most voted option will be the first I'm still curious to see the results.

I included some story examples in case my explanation doesn't suffice.

I'm gonna have to go with the first option. If the stories are too fantastical, they tend to be less relatable.

Since I have sort of a damsel/dude in distress -fetish I prefer real-world stories with extraordinary events.

I'm all in for fantasy and science fiction, including alternate-history, but excluding "masquerade" settings where supernatural or science-fiction elements secretly exist in what is supposedly the real world. But then I read (and write) fiction for the escapism, and a well-built setting can provide a distilled dose of the Good Stuff.

Nooo! Why make me choose one? All stories, regardless of setting, can be great in their own right.

Whether the setting be in the modern day U.S or in a far-off Kingdom of fantasy, each one can have an amazing plot, unique characters, and of course, moments of helpless bondage!
