What do you mean?

explaining magic too much until it becomes boring

or

magic in an urban "real" setting??

>>15024177
It's a spic thing. Don't worry your pretty head about it too much and go back to scifi&fantasy containment thread, your """people""" miss you there.

>realistic magicism

>>15024177
Magical things happen in the real world, but are taken in stride and aren't the focus of the story.

>magic in an urban "real" setting??
Basically this. Think of it like anime.

Imagine that someone goes to the street from his aparment by simply jumping off the window and floating until landing and everyobody treats it as if thats the most common thing in the world, yet there is no magic in itself involved, no sorcery or magic device involved or magic system or anything like that.

but...why?

>>15024398
Because... magical realism, you would be surprised what happens when you go out of the usual physical mechanicism that plagues mainstream literature, in the sense that everything has to be explained and the more autistically and grounded to our world it is the better, not to say that is bad, just overdone at this point.

why has /lit/ become /tv/? I used to be impressed coming here, every posted filled with reflective thought about a difficult work both fiction and philosophy.

Based?

Life is now magical realist, so if you want to write realist literature, it has to be magical realist.

Sorry grittycucks, I don't make the rules.
