Sounds cool!
Understood. All the same, lighthearted or quiet conflict is still conflict if illustrated as such. Also, @jhay’s definition of the Survival subgenre is “where characters attempt to survive day-to-day in an unfamiliar or hostile situation,” so the Universe/Situation in the story need not necessarily be life-threatening. For example, @jhay provides “a single mother tasked with taking her sons camping” as an example of the subgenre.
