never read this genre before, just wanted to dip my toes and see if its good. i dont want any fluff or snu snu... looking for some serious romance/slice of life, like fighting against public scrutiny or accepting who she is and making up courage to tell her crush?...honestly idk what to expect so rec some serious yuri novels that can churn one's heart. prefer if its not fantasy, and also it shouldn't be comedic, like a joke here and there is f9 but not the main effect. also it would be awesome if it were completed ones.
Well, the novels from this Author I consider as some good deal of slice of life yuri. I mean it could be too heavy for you now and might not be to your liking but yeah. Check out the yuris from https://www.novelupdates.com/nauthor/请君莫笑/ all of the completed ones are HE. Edit: And yeah, both of the completed ones are set on ancient times.
Female General And Eldest Princess This is one of the few completed novel on novel updates that I found could barely meet your requirements. The problem is that there are barely any completely translated yuri novels and the ones that are do not meet your requirements. They are good novels but the majority of them are either fantasy or fluffy novels. This is one of the few novels with a serious plot that is complete. It is a novel set in ancient times and it isn't a slice of life but it is one of the best yuri novels on novel updates Cin Heung: Life is Strange This one may perfectly fit your requirements however I have not read it myself so one or two things may be off however it is the closest to your requirements I could find in short notice
Try the other novels of the author of Female General and Eldest Princess. They(or she) does have another completed one. I feel like you haven't check it out. Also I thought they do have slice of life in them. XD
I have read all their works and while the one I recommended does have some slice of life moments it's not the main genre of the novel. I felt like what op was requesting was a novel that delt with a girl trying to process her feelings while under pressure from the outside world in a slice of life genre story. The novel Female General and Eldest Princes us not by any means a slice of life genre book in fact as a novel dealing with conspiracies and Court drama of the ancient times I feel that it is the antithesis of the slice of life genre
Try Xiao Wujun's un translated story, Miss Cousin President is busy or Quick Transmigration Fate Trading System. Both mc is very dense and have no idea what love is, fl guide them.... This should count I guess.
