Piers anthony stuff is light but its risqueso not exactly like the hobbit but should not stress you out. The more I think about it the more his stuff is a lot like anime with panty glimpses and stuff thrown around. Its far more fanciful as well. Try the first xanth book and see what you think. Word of warning its a trilogy that turned into a trilogy of trilogies and then became the series that never ends. His incarnations of immortality series is a bit more serious without being stressful serious and that starts with on a pale horse. Xanth is about a magical land where everyone gets a magic talent. In some ways its like a fantasy version of my hero academia and the incarnations series is in a modern world where magic is around and used as much as technology and the main thing is around these mystical kind of offices that keep the world in order.
I would love a modern day xanth with all the puns and none of the sexism
