That's why there are so many fantasy series that look the same...they are not inspiration they are cliches that attract money.

There's nothing wrong or dishonest with intentionally using writing to entertain, or to make money. And there are numerous Pulitzer winners that will tell you that quality writing can still be done under a salary and a deadline, and often is.
And there are enough blogs out there that demonstrate that feeling and inspiration is far from enough to create good writing.
