Love a good Discworld novel! I hope that at least one of these hit the right vibe for you - I'm assuming that you've read Douglas Adams and Neil Gaiman (shout out to Stardust), here.
Dianna Wynne Jones - Howl's Moving Castle and its sequels, Castle in the Air and House of Many Ways (and if you like her style she's written lots of other fantasy). If you've seen the movie, I heard someone say that the difference is that the book is in Sophie POV and the movie is in Howl's. If you even remotely liked the movie then read the books!
Chris Wooding - Poison - fantasy, twisted fairy tale which is what makes it cozy for me
You've probs heard this one being flung around but: Martha Wells - The Murderbot Diaries series of novella - artificial construct goes rogue and ... brgrudgingly helps people (in space) while watching lots of drama tv. It's in 1st person which I don't usually read but these are EXCELLENT I promise.
Becky Chambers - A long long way to a small angry planet, To be taught if fortunate (novella) and all her other works - space exploration, cozy found family vibes, queerness, some AIs
Garth Nix - The Old Kingdom series - fantasy, one world with magic, one without and Sabriel the heroine crosses over and has adventures (a bit dark iirc actually, but there's a lot of cozy nostalgic value there for me)
... wish I could think of more cozy/funny SF/F, looking froward to seeing what other people rec, I guess :)
but are you sure you can't keep readin Discworld? (lol)
