Re: How To Make a Low Key Plot Work

Yeah, of course it could work but without a high stakes plot to distract people, you'll have to nail the other stuff, especially characterization. Readers have to be invested in your protagonist enough to want to see her develop and grow at a relatively calm pace. The world building has to be appealing, too. I second the comment about cozy details and wish fulfillment. People who want to read low stakes stories that don't have crazy high conflict tend to want a story and characters that are comforting and homey.

Heh yeah. TBH I've considered a story that is just like... little conflicts coming and being dealt with as they pop up or just taking time slow burning to a greater conflict with occasional small ones to keep things happening in the foreground.

I just worry if they'll be seen as having "no plot" .
