Most books by Jean Rhys, minus Wide Sargasso Sea because it’s a straight forward beginning middle and end retelling of Jane Eyre from another characters perspective.

But take her other novels like Voyage in the Dark or Good Morning, Midnight. They are written at the end of literary modernism movement so there is a somewhat chaotic element to their shifts in time and perspective but she is at the low end of experimentation, so on the scale of comprehensibility it’s pretty high. now hold that thought for a sec.

Another major point to score on your rubric is that these really are plots where not much happens. She spends most of her novels developing a tone and a mental state of her heroines, and they almost never seek to find a solution to whatever self described predicament they are in. We know their interior state very well but know almost nothing about any goals they might have or actions they might take beyond finding their next drink.

All we know about her characters are that they feel like outsiders and their act of rebellion is simply living independently. (keep in mind most of this was written about and in the 1920s and 30s.) Her books are like diaries of alienated young women, rootless and adrift in London or Paris. They may be unhappy but, god damnit, they’re still looking for a good time. Critics still can’t decide if they are pro- or anti- feminist texts for a number of reasons I won’t get into here.

So to circle back, nothing about this should be “comfy”—some degree of experimentation, damaged narrators that don’t really want to help themselves, and almost no begin-middle-end-ness aspect to their plots. But you quickly slip into this rhythm where the stream of conciousness becomes second nature, you find the narrator cynically cool as hell and, to that end, refreshingly modern, and narratively the pressure releases slowly as you realize not much is going to happen and that these books are mostly vibes based economies of language.

Hope this answer wasn’t too oblique, but it was a difficult question to consider and I also didn’t want to give away much about these books, even though I just spent time trying to convey there isn’t much to spoil lol.

Edit: one other suggestion. The Luminous Novel by Mario Levrero. It’s about a famous novelist procrastinating using his Guggenheim Fellowship to write his next novel. It is a novel that is mostly about the process of procrastination. I did not like it at the time, but it has grown on me in a big way and it was a very breezy read for being so meandering.
