Modern Setting Web Novels

Modern-setting novels on Tellura take place in today's world or a recognizable near-equivalent. Hidden magic in modern cities, urban supernatural, contemporary romance, and tech-thrillers all qualify. Distinct from urban (which is more about city environments) and contemporary (a genre, not just a setting).

The tag answers a practical question, whether you need to learn a world before you can enjoy the story. Modern settings let an author skip the exposition and get to the premise, which is why hidden-magic and supernatural-thriller serials lean on it so heavily. Pair with magic-system for urban fantasy, or leave it bare for contemporary drama.
