Goblin Emperor
Though the book seems to mostly be the opposite of action-centric, you might find it "comfy"

The Goblin Emperor
I found it to be comfy low-fantasy. The story of a 18-year-old half-goblin and his unlikely ascension to the throne of the Elvish lands after his emperor father and several older sons die in an airship crash. A story in which the main character does absolutely nothing exciting, where the author diligently distinguishes the royal "We" from the merely plural "we" or the base, familial singular "I" and showers us with invented names and titles you will be hard-pressed to remember. A fantastical world full of strange cultures, enigmatic gods and wondrous magical spells with all of which we as readers are not in the least bit bothered with, as we rarely see outside the walls of the Imperial palace, the weather being too drab to go, or even look, outside - worldbuiliding is at a premium with this book. But it was a pleasant read nonetheless.

I leave you with an apt review I found while reading this book that I am forced to agree with, as someone wiser than me has stated of this leisurely novel:
> "It's a typical feel-good story written by a woman."

And isn't such a lovely story something we all might enjoy once in a while?
