Except you did directly dismiss it in the same breath, as "sci-fi". So all we've established there is that you're prepared to lie in defence of your literary snobbery. Again, I am utterly unsurprised. I'm convinced they slip you some sort of magic pill when you take Masters Lit, honestly...
And yes, the Hero's Journey is *common* in fiction, but the super majority of high fantasy uses it, and the vast majority of low fantasy too. With Elves.
