The older I get, the more I realize I enjoy more the small details happening in the background (classes, interaction between students, etc.) than the main plot.

I know that cosy fantasy is a thing (I still have to read Legends and Lattes), so I was curious to see if people have other recommendations that could scratch that itch? Ideally with older characters (in their 30s?), that would probably be more relatable than teenagers.

I enjoyed the Magicians series, but it felt very college years focused, and unfortunately those years getting further every year.

If with the magician series you mean the black magician by Trudi Canavan, there's a second trilogy featuring the same characters who were teenagers some 20-30 years later. It feels way more mature; though cozy is probably not my adjective of choice. Very nicely written though (The Traitor Spy trilogy).

I'm pretty sure they mean The Magicians by Lev Grossman

Yes indeed, thank you
