  1. Ironically, the two biggest fantasy franchises in history – Middle-Earth and Narnia – were written by Christian writers.

    How could two guys get it so write nearly a hundred years ago, only for modern writers to get things so wrong?

    As far as your point on stakes, the key to stakes isn't the scale of them, but how much they matter to the protagonist. If the world is ending and your protagonist feels fine, the stakes are pretty low. But say your protagonist's dog is dying, your protagonist has no family or friends, that dog is their only connection to another living thing, and he has to save that pup or he'll just crack under the strain of his loneliness (kind of like John Wick) – then suddenly the stakes are pretty high, despite the issue being rather small from our detached perspective.
