Unfortunately, they don't accept non-English books... but they do provide all the tools and guidelines they use for their books, so if someone wanted to make & release non-English books elsewhere I don't imagine there'd be problems.

I'll second Small, Angry Planet. It's not always a happy series (one of the books takes place in the aftermath of a catastrophic disaster) but it is always a hopeful series, utterly unlike the sci-fi I usually go for. It's an indifferent universe full of very different people who will ultimately pull together and support each other, and that kindness prevails.

Howl's Moving Castle trilogy was very gentle and got me through one of my darkest times, so I'll always recommend it to people seeking a chill, comforting series.

For something a bit more modern the Legends & Lattes series has proven to be quite cozy, with a healthy dose of adventure mixed in. (It's mostly coffee & pastry porn).

Would you say the first Stormlight arc ended at a good spot? I'm eager to start the series but have been staying away because it's unfinished...

Don't miss out on the other loosely-related books in the trilogy, they're just as cozy.

Honestly, this is the only thing I miss from Reddit.

But the community was so pleasant that it seemed like a fluke it existed at all.

QKSMS hasn't been updated since 2021, but Quik seems to be an active fork.

Hey, thanks for the super detailed and useful response, Cloaca! My own attempts to deck build seem to be following similar steps, so I'll definitely be referencing this. The deck snapshots at various points of completion are super helpful. Are those different decks or does TappedOut have a history feature? (That's something I didn't know I wanted until now).
