Thanks for writing this up! I've heard of a lot of cozy SFF recently, but on instinct I assumed it likely wasn't the sort of thing I would like, since I tend to get bored of stories that don't have a driving plot or tension. However, I do really like stories that focus on relationships, and I definitely have a soft spot for highlighting domestic labor... so hmm maybe I should give it a proper chance.

This post has confirmed I probably would not like Legends and Lattes, that's the one I've seen recced a lot that on my first glance I was like "Hm this seems kinda too chill/tensionless for me" and has kind of made me turn away every time I hear another book described as cozy SFF. After reading this post though, I think I'll take a peek at Fandom for Robots, since I'm always a big fan of robot-centric stories. And I think I'll take a closer look next time I see cozy sff... it sounds like there ARE stories in there that maintain some sort of tension and provide insights applicable to the average life lived.

Again, thanks for sharing! This was a great sized snapshot for me to interrogate my instincts on and learn more about cozy SFF
