Did the One Thousand and One Nights have more an effect on Western literature than Eastern literature? How else did such fantastic stories have such an effect?

I would say so since the Arabs and Ottomans didn't do a very good job of exporting their culture to east Asia. Much of modern Islam pulls from Arabian Nights like modern Christianity pulls from Paradise Lost or Dante's Inferno for example.
