I don't really understand why all GoT fanfics always take the conquest route: Free City --> 7 Kingdoms --> Night King. It feels like all writers are stuck in the same mindset: Canon's Flow. :v 1. Many writers do not understand that the free city has a history, depth, wealth & power beyond the 7 Kingdoms. They wrote about a 15-17 year old teenager who conquered the Free City in 2 years, but took the 7 'ununited' Kingdoms seriously. 2. Many writers are fixated on Daenerys' conquest of Essos, they forget that Daenerys won the war---mostly--because of her three dragons. Most GoT fanfic MCs conquer Free City before they hatch dragons, because that feels too forced. 3. Even with her three dragons, Daenerys did not conquer the Free City. 4. Many people don't know that the Free City doesn't represent half of Essos. 5. Many people don't know that the world of GoT has 4 continents. Westross and Essos are just 2 of them. 6. There are many mysterious lands/kingdoms in Essos. The magic civilization shouldn't just belong to Valaryan. Due to the fact that they never conquered all of Essos, or went to any other continent than Westeross. The author can develop the story without getting hung up on Westeross. I mean, snatching the Iron Throne should be easier than Iron Bank.
