I should write like a fantasy book series where it's like a fictional equivalent of the carlist wars/Jacobite Wars But also there's like a magic fantasy element but like the magic fantasy element is fading from the world with the dawn of industrialization or something?
Actually, @butterflies-and-bumble-bees you should write this
im too busy with my 40 lab assignments

Not only do I think the game existing in the rules text of the various editions of d&d is not a 'collaborative storytelling game', I actually think the opposite is true.
D&D is, as written, an adversarial storytelling game. The players and DM do not pool their creative ideas together to craft a narrative through collaboration.
Instead, the DM puts an obstacle in front of the players - "can you get the treasure from this dungeon" or "can you defeat this dragon" or "can you save this village" - that is intended to challenge them. The players then try to overcome that challenge through a mixture of luck, cleverness in the fiction, and mechanical mastery. This activity is adversarial; the players are trying to overcome adversity deliberately placed in their path. Perhaps they succeed, or perhaps they fail. Or perhaps the outcome is a complex combination of failure and success and other unexpected consequences.
And that is where the narrative comes from. From the play-conflict between players and DM pitted against each other, and the resolution of those conflicts.
This is, incidentally, a good thing in my view. The adversarial storytelling model produces investment and stakes very readily, and is quite easy to grasp.
Abner to Saul: What good is a king who gains the whole world, yet loses himself in the pursuit?
Me: That's a clever yet subtle way to work in a new testament quote in this old testament show
Saul, speaking about a servant-woman: Now she is my concubine. This is a king's right.
Abner: Not the king of Israel. Not you.
Me: That is a good way to foreshadow how most kings of Israel and Judah (including David) went on to disobey the command in Deuteronomy 17:17 against kings multiplying wives.
