Something related to Mundane Fantastic
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
The idea behind fantasy is that everything is possible. BUT it has to have a reason to exist. You could drop a taco truck in the middle of Mordor as long as the reason was good enough. However, sometimes a writer would describe everything about such a "taco truck" at great length - how the engine works, the ingredients inside, etc. but NOT the reason for the taco truck being there. Another example would be a rule that women can't use their left hand. The author explains how they get around that in their everyday lives. But the reason for such a rule is never given. There isn't a religious one, there isn't a historical one, nothing. So what is this trope's name?
