Cozy Fantasy: What It Is & How to Write It
www.campfirewriting.com
A crackling campfire. A jolly band of bards and misfits. A wayside inn owned by a kindly orc grandmother... Let's take a look at cozy fantasy!

I particularly love this description:

Cozy fantasy is a term to describe lighter fantasy fiction that focuses on warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging. If you’ve ever wanted to lose yourself in a magical fantasy world but weren’t in the mood for dark themes and stressful, epic quests, cozy fantasy fiction is exactly what you need.

Does this match your definition?

    I’d always wondered about its origins, as a person who probably has read more slice of life fantasy and considered it pretty similar in being low stakes fantasy.
