Got an example of this, OP?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know of any specifics.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure if OP is talking about common knowledge of the world or of media.

[(Anonymous)]

This is such a vague, general statement...

Interesting to you, I'm sure. Other people might like that, and other people might find it interesting.

I don't LOVE cozy fantasy but it's pretty silly to say that the only interesting parts of fantasy are non-cozy. Surely you know that, taste being subjective and all. For example, lots of people appreciate rich world building in fantasy, and that's not necessarily non-cozy.

Also, I've read some Darcy Coates that probably qualifies as cozy horror, so I don't think it's a dead genre.

I'm sure there's a place and time and audience for it, but I've had the entire Oz series in my possession since childhood and I can definitively say that at some point, a lack of actual conflict is both boring and childish. I understand L. Frank Baum not wanting to upset his audience of loyal 8 year olds with too much conflict; authors writing to adults and teens should know better than to coddle them like 8 year olds. Meaning, if you want a low-conflict fantasy world to dabble in, that's fine, but at some point there has to be a story, and most stories need a conflict, even if it's very lightweight. If you want zero conflict in your fantasy, go play Animal Crossing.

Spoken as if the Shire hasn't been a corner of fantasy for decades.

what exactly is cozy fantasy? slice of life?

[(Anonymous)]

I love cozy stories. They mean everything will be okay in the end. I find that very... nice, given how uncertain a lot of things are these days. I'm not a huge fan of cozy fantasy, in particular, because I prefer epic quests there, but I read a million cozy mysteries/murder mysteries and they're fun and, yes, cozy. Things work out. It's okay at the end.

It isn't really my thing most of the time (well, on its own, I do like the tropes mixed with other things), but I get why it is a genre.

[(Anonymous)]

God this book is so boring. I didn't even finish Bookshops and Bonedust.

And I'm irrationally annoyed pink chick is a succubus and not a tiefling.

[(Anonymous)]

I made a "cozy horror" game in my second year of university, was a bit underdeveloped due to time constraints but I occasionally ponder the idea of fleshing it out now I have more time. Nice to know there might(?) be some interest I guess!

They have magic. They can make it sound good. I'm loving that Who is bringing in magic. Also the song was just fun.

It depends how much they use, and what the ratio of canon words is to original words. Sometimes you just gotta hit those canon stations.
