Reply to comment by Wot106 in Genre question - Slice of life, but fantasy or sci-fi? by Valdrothos
I would love to find some more pessimistic stories that remind us that people are only special specifically because we're not all special. I don't even need to have a happy ending.
I will be looking into the "cozy fantasy" suggested, but I suspect it's all going to be very, very feel-good.
What got me on this track in the first place was thinking "What if there was a book from X crazy fantasy/sci fi setting, only the main character of the book was just some random person from that universe who doesn't accomplish great feats?

With your edit, try China Mieville. Perdido Street Station for fantasy, Embassytown for sci-fi.
