Looking for a fairly specific book genre but can't quite place it (or even know if as a genre it exists!)
So I am after a fantasy book/genre that has a fairly intense or almost slightly dark overall plot. But the subplots within the book are very cozy and slice of life.
Kindof a fusion of high fantasy and cozy?? Imagine almost 'cozy epic fantasy' lol
To try put it into context, could be something similar to a dystopian novel, with civilization already hellish, but inside of that is primarily Legends and Lattes style slice of life with characters trying to start a-new alongside the dysfuction and over throw it non-combativley, but the progression continues still with the Dystopian elements. Then to finish it cozy, the characters change the world for the good.
Does this style exist? Are there any recs? Am I asking for what could be deemed a 'too dramatic cozy fantasy' or a 'too light epic fantasy' and that's why I can't find any? Lol
