I voted for body horror (More of Me and Loosening Skin) because I would like to read your reviews, but I have read Lagends and Lattes and really enjoyed it. It's mostly low conflict, like "what if my D&D campaign had a coffeeshop AU?" setup and just ... chill.)

I enjoyed Legends and Lattes and it honestly reads exactly like a D&D coffeeshop AU, it's very cozy and pleasant. I recently read someone's review complaining about the flaws in the worldbuilding, and thought they weren't wrong, but also that consistent worldbuilding wasn't the point of the book.
