The Fogbound District: The World Beneath the Fog

I’d Like an Ensemble Story with a More Slice-of-Life Feel. Please Include the Setting When You Recommend One

Self-Discipline, Everyday Life, and Slow-Paced Leisure

A few days ago I saw a novel that I think was called *I Confessed, You Rejected Me, So I Became a Self-Disciplined Male God. Why Are You Crying?* It only had a few dozen chapters but showed a lot of promise. Then suddenly I couldn’t find it anymore. I’m so upset.

Slow-Burn Stories About Gradual Growth, I'm Out of Books, Great Masters, Show Me What You've Got

Looking for Books with Ensemble Casts or Everyday Life, but No Mindless Prose

I’ve been in a reading slump lately. I’m not in the mood for feel-good stories, silly comedies, sweet romances, or angst. Please recommend some well-written ensemble casts and slice-of-life stories. I’d prefer a female protagonist, but a male protagonist is fine too, as long as it’s well written. Most importantly, no romance or pairings of any kind: no male-female, male-male, or female-female couples.

Any Slow-Burn Novels Where the Protagonist Isn't Invincible and the Story Isn't Just Wish Fulfillment?

Looking for books similar to *National Voyage: I Started with a Ghost Ship (Journey Through the Haunted Sea)*. For example, survival stories, but actual survival, not a vacation in another world.
