Why do even my fantasy books involve bloody wars, can't I have a book where all the wizards eat cupcakes and date each other and be happy and maybe some petty drama but that's it, nothing dark or serious

Kristen Painter’s series is exactly that… i have a whole collection of cute “paranormals” to recommend (they’re usually romances tho fyi, because those are the 2 choices: romance or violence lol)

There’s one book I remember where protagonist was trying to decide “Am I attempting to seduce or kill the shape shifting dragon who runs this casino?” and I wanted to scream “Goodness none of those are the most interesting stories about that a shapeshifting dragon in a casino.”

(World: if you ever have a dragon who has a sensibly inhuman perspective on the right way to play Texas Hold ‘Em and/or appropriate staffing levels for entertainment businesses with strong seasonality and diverse clientele some of whom breathe fire I. Am. Here. For. It.)

In a (possibly?) more helpful recommendation it is my impression that “slice of life” is a manga/anime genre that has the setting as a subject w/o necessarily having a conflict in traditional sense. I have no good recommendations other than Kiki’s Delivery Service.

(Kiki’s sort of has a conflict but it’s an internal one in the main character, a big story about trying to find her way in the world as a young adult and a little story which is hard to read as other than a battle with depression. Also she’s a witch and runs a small business.)
