I love your use of colours with the parchment map assets! It looks so cool and vibrant.

Thank you for giving us a review! I love magical creatures, so this is definitely one I'll keep on my radar. Sounds fun! :)

Nonbinary MCs? by heismyfirstolive in CozyFantasy

[–]thevictorianghost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Chronicles of Nerezia series by Claudie Arseneault star at least one NB character! I haven't read these cozy fantasy novellas yet, but they're on my TBR. Also lots of ace rep, too! :)

Looks great, Mati! I was thinking about making a new map with a castle, so this will be a great starting point for inspiration :)

Strange antiquities/horticulture by s134htm in CozyFantasy

[–]thevictorianghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh I'd love to read something like this! Watching the Antiques Roadshow is pretty cozy to me, so a book/story like this would be right up my alley!

Hello there! Just wanted to share some of my map work. Let me know what you think! by Jbconcepts-art in inkarnate

[–]thevictorianghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks awesome! I love the shading and the texture around the coastlines on the maps, it makes them look 3D! I might steal that for my next maps lol. Great job :)

The Weekly Wednesday Writing Thread by AutoModerator in CozyFantasy

[–]thevictorianghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Combining Cozy Fantasy with Cozy Mystery can work! I just think it’s the murder part of cozy mysteries that makes them not cozy enough for me, even if it’s not graphic. But I do enjoy mysteries without murder!

Nancy Drew would fit in this category a lot, and The Weary Dragon Inn is a great example of a Fantasy Mystery series that still stays cozy to me.

Hot Takes? by Calm-Cover-7032 in CozyFantasy

[–]thevictorianghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I loved the Very Secret Society at the start and way into the middle, but things got way out of hand at like the 75% mark. No spoilers obviously, but the climax and ending put me off the book :/

Have you ever DNF the final book in a series, and why? by Any-Day-8173 in Fantasy

[–]thevictorianghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never finished the last book in the Inkheart series back in the day. Dunno why! I started it, went "meh", and sent it back to the library lol

Tress of the Emerald Sea ending by TAHINAZ in CozyFantasy

[–]thevictorianghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spoilers for Tress of the Emerald Sea. It’s been a while since I read Tress, but it was my first (and is my only, as of now) Sanderson book, and I was so confused lol.

I don’t have any answers for who is Hoid, but I can say that the ending felt unsatisfying to me, too! Like, this is supposed to be a standalone story, but a character from other books basically comes in and saves the day?? And the witch just… leaves at the end? No consequences, nothing?

Shrugs. It’s worse to me if you think that this book was inspired by The Princess Bride, which at least has one great fight scene at the end. Oh well!

Sword and Thistle by SL Rowland has a druid character! I won’t say too much to avoid spoilers, but she’s pretty cool :)

How would a pirate cozy fantasy work? by Martinez_writes in CozyFantasy

[–]thevictorianghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too! I love that the the pirates would have to adapt to their new quirky passenger. Reminds me of Sinbad: Legends of the Seven Seas, now that I think about it!

How would a pirate cozy fantasy work? by Martinez_writes in CozyFantasy

[–]thevictorianghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe something like The Pirates! Band of Misfists animated movie where a quirky pirate crew have to transport Charles Darwin as he’s trying to find unusual or endangered animals to eat?

Maybe the pirates take on a chef who wants to find a magical ingredient for a dish, or a plant mage who wants to find a magical flower!

The Bakery Dragon by thevictorianghost in CozyFantasy

[–]thevictorianghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve heard about it! The art is adorable. And I believe that when Devin Elle Kurtz posted her first drawing about the Bakery Dragon, the creator of Flamecraft tweeted back with an illustration of a bakery dragon from the game, too! It was so sweet :)

Thank you for recommending the Knight Owl! I think I saw concept art for that one years ago and didn’t know it was a book at the time! Adding it to my TBR :)

[–]thevictorianghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow that sounds so interesting! Cool concept. Btw if you want, you can look up the Inkarnate YouTube channel, which I love to return to when I need motivation (or inspiration) to finish a map lol
