One of the well - known epic western fiction novels is 'Lonesome Dove' by Larry McMurtry. It's a sweeping tale of a cattle drive from Texas to Montana. Another is 'The Virginian' by Owen Wister, which helped to define the western genre. And 'Riders of the Purple Sage' by Zane Grey is also a classic in this genre, with its tales of adventure and the wild west.
For beginners, I'd recommend 'Riders of the Purple Sage' by Zane Grey. It has all the elements that make a western great - cowboys, outlaws, and a beautiful western landscape. The story is easy to follow and full of action. Another option is 'True Grit'. It has a strong - willed protagonist and an exciting adventure, which is easy for new readers to get into.
The first western epics should be the Epic (Epic refers to the Iliad and the Odysey), written by ancient Greece. This epic was considered a classic of Western literature. It told the stories of war, politics, and myths and legends in ancient Greece.
πI recommend the following novels to you:
1. "The Reborn Skeleton Knight Olivia". The main character was a female knight who was turned into an undead by a wizard after her death. She searched for the truth with her subordinates who were also turned into undead.
2. The Battle of Everlast: The Time of Rebirth, a story that happened on a continent where technology and magic coexisted.
3. "The Crusade against the Green-skinned Tribe" was a Western fantasy novel that strictly followed the rules of the DNA.

There are many literary forms in China that can compete with Western epic literature, but which literary form is the best depends on different readers and cultural preferences. The following are some forms of literature that might be considered Chinese epic literature:
Dream of the Red Chamber: As a classic work of Chinese classical literature, Dream of the Red Chamber is famous for its complex character relationships, profound social insight, and epic narrative structure.
2. Water Margins: As a classic Chinese novel, Water Margins is highly praised for its heroic narration, vivid characters and epic plot.
3. Journey to the West: As a classic Chinese mythological novel, Journey to the West is highly respected for its fantasy and adventure elements, profound insight into human nature, and epic narrative structure.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms: As one of the trilogies of Chinese classical literature, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is famous for its complex political struggles, heroism, and epic narrative structure.
5. The relationship between Water Margins and Journey to the West: Although they are both classics of Chinese classical literature, their story background, character images and narrative structures are very different, so they are also regarded as independent epic literature works.
It should be noted that although these literary forms can be regarded as epic literature, their styles and topics are very different, so readers can choose literary works that suit their own preferences and cultural background.
Epic fiction is basically a type of storytelling that's big and bold. It has complex plots, larger-than-life heroes, and often explores themes of destiny, honor, and the struggle between good and evil. Think of classics like 'The Iliad' and modern ones like 'The Wheel of Time'.
Epic is typically considered fiction. It often involves imaginative elements, elaborate storylines, and characters that are not based on real people or events.
πI recommend the Epic of the Magician's Fate to you. This novel was written by the author Bei Qi and belongs to the Western fantasy genre. It mainly talks about how the female protagonist, Phitna, changed the fate that even the mage himself could not change when she could not use magic power. This novel had an epic feel to it, and the plot was very exciting. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
Definitely 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S. Lewis. It's a classic epic that takes readers into the magical world of Narnia. The stories are filled with talking animals, battles between good and evil, and themes of faith and redemption. It's a great series for both children and adults. Also, 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey' by Homer are among the best. These ancient epics are full of heroic deeds, gods interfering in human affairs, and long - lasting tales of love and war that have influenced countless works of literature since.
Some great epic fiction novels include 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey' by Homer. These ancient Greek epics are full of heroic deeds, gods interfering in human affairs, and long and dangerous journeys. 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes is also an epic in a sense. It follows the adventures of a deluded knight and his sidekick, and through their misadventures, it satirizes society and human folly. And then there's 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante Alighieri, which takes the reader on a journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise.
