Like it's literally the same thing down to the book being accused (Day of the Triffids) not actually fitting the mold of what's being described.

Relatively unscathed in contrast, perhaps, to your average Robin Hobb novel, but I’d be hard pressed to describe DotT as “cozy”.

and about Legends & Lattes! what kind of sick fuck gets mad at something as pleasant as _that_.

That's like talking shit about Studio Ghibli!

I love this cozy witch game with deep narrative and amazing writing, but I really wish it was about a troubled addict detective who needs to solve a murder during a union strike
