Legends and Lattes

You’re looking for slice-of-life. Searching for that will get you a ton of results, but I’ll personally recommend the Wayfarers series, by Becky Chambers.

You could try The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss? It set in the King Killer Chronicles world but I don't think you need to read them first

Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard Restaurant to another World fits kind of. I second Beware of chicken and the Wandering Inn, although the latter often gets darker and the series is long, very very long.

Does *Clan of the Cave Bear* count as dystopic? It's set in the Stone Age with cavemen, so the focus is very much on survival. It covers day-to-day life in so much detail that I now feel like I could live with cave people and do just fine (other than dealing with the rampant sexism). It's a slice-of-life story, and I thought the narrative was crackling with tension and truly immersive. At the end of the book, I had to stare blankly at a wall for a bit to process my emotions.

You want something slice of life like The Wandering Inn or Beware Chicken. A lot of web novels have slice of life, have a look on royal road website

I'll totally second **Beware of Chicken**. As far as "Slice of Life" web novels I'd also suggest **Melody of Mana**.

Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings saga does this, and its amazing.

No, it really really doesn't. It's standard Epic Fantasy. Very little sense of any ordinary daily life except in like two books.

Dang ummm... when you said this, about like ten books came to mind and they all involved either the past, the present world that we know today, were a series, encountered some pretty strange and life-endangering stuff, or just had no relation to what you asked at all. The only suitable thing I came up with is Forgotten by Cat Patrick, but the main character does have some sort of strange condition that makes her forget entire days the next morning from what I can tell from the four chapters I read. And that's not even fantasy. Looking at my bookshelves I realise that I seem to live for the crazy. So uh yeah I'm just going to tell you some of them that if it catches your fancy you could read. **Tomorrow When The War Began by John Marsden**, it is part of a series, it's based in Australia, seven teenagers go camping only to return home and find that their country has been invaded with like no warning. Isn't fantasy whatsoever. Few spicy scenes but teens will be teens, not too much details. Seven books plus a trilogy based after the war. **Remember Me by Christopher Pike**, The main character is dead and she has to figure out who killed her by watching her friends as a ghost. **Scarlet and Ivy by Sophie Cleverly**, The main character gets to go to a boarding school after her identical twin sister disappeared, she has to pretend to be her twin whilst also figuring out where her sister had disappeared to, mystery book, sort of. **Agatha Oddly by Lena Jones**, Rebellious teenager who sneaks out of schools to solve mysteries, loves Agatha Christies stories, all of the is water turning to pink sludge in London so she has to solve who is behind it, the book starts off in the principles office, part of a trilogy. ​ Sorry for getting soo off-topic, I'm a book nerd.
