What I mean is books that have characters live in settings that are, in-universe, fictional in some way or the like. I don’t mean books that have adaptations in other mediums

Preferably the story has at least one of the following: the world has its own laws of physics; shows how the world works; explores the setting’s implications; explores how it affects characters; or the world is under threat.

Thanks for your help👍
