But that would not be urban fantasy if Dresden was living 60 miles from city in some old farm.
Depends on both your definition of urban fantasy and/or where the action of the books takes place. From Wikipedia: Urban fantasy is a genre of fiction, a subgenre of fantasy in which the narrative uses supernatural elements in a 19th-century to 21st-century (or equivalent) urban society. It usually takes place in the present day (or the equivalent of the "present day")." Some define urban fantasy in a way that something like contemporary fantasy would be a better name. Few would describe something like The King Killer Chronicles as urban fantasy even though the majority of it takes place in urban settings that have an Early Modern Era, maybe Renaissance, feel to them.
Also, Harry could live somewhere isolated and work in the city. He'd just have to have a quick/reliable way of traveling to the city.
I can accept few splited timeline, but when according to WOJ each choice split reality it cheapens free will imensely. I mean literally that makes free will some bizzare mechanism to produce more alternative universes, not a real power of choice 
I totally agree, so I came up with a head canon mechanism that fixes that problem. Every alternate universe creating choice creates multiple universes because in the moment of decision, the person makes multiple choices that are all against that person's nature. So Harry's "natural" decision in GP was to do X. But the Harry we've followed did Y. The Harry(s) we haven't followed did not X and not Y.
Dresden's male gaze can be annoying, but that's I think more part of wider problem of Jim making constant repetitions of descriptions and so on.
Jim's big on physical descriptions. I remember someone going over descriptions of Michael, Sanya, and Bradley. It was kind of similar to how Jim describes all the super attractive women. Thomas's shirtless descriptions are a lot like that too. And as Dina said, it's not just people. Mac's place, Harry's apartment, and the Beetle. At least Harry's apartment and the Beetle change frequently enough.
My point falls back on the only women who was written in the books outside that concept. Murphy. As poorly as Jim treated her over the course of the books, she deserved a better end then what she got. A talented writer should be able to pull that off and get the emotional punch that he wanted.
Can anyone tell me anything about Murphy's boobs? I don't think they're ever described at all. The closest I can think of is the description of her as having a gymnast's build, and I know what gymnasts typically look like. He doesn't talk about anything specific about Murphy's appearance below her neck until BR, I think.
DO NOT DESCRIBE THEM. Like really. Describe new things. Introduce new things.
Or put them in an index or something if you think it's really necessary for new readers.
I'm fine with Harry marrying Lara. I'm not ok with it being an ideal or happy marriage. It should, at the absolute best, be a content working relationship.
