"Thank you for sharing your work with me. I'm sorry, but while your project sounds intriguing, there are elements here that are too similar to something on my current client list and for this reason, I will have to pass. I wish you the best of luck with finding the right agent to champion your writing career."

The best rejection I've received to date! Just have to keep going.

@atstopyra It may have something to do with the editor's requirements. I spoke with an agent (a different one) at a pitch event, and she said most editors won't take debut books over 90k or 100k due to printing costs and the "risk" of underperforming sales by unestablished authors. I'm not sure if she might make exceptions for authors with proven high sales. But that would be my guess as to why there's a cap.

Does she realize she's capped word count for fantasy submissions at 120k? Seems like it must be a mistake, especially given that one of her preferred genres on the agency website is high fantasy.
