You need to describe what you are actually looking for. While it may seem on the surface that ASoIaF and Mistborn don't have much in common, they actually have a number of similar elements.

If you are looking simply for "gritty fantasy" or "political fantasy" then say that, saying you like one book that has a million fantasy tropes and not another that has a million fantasy tropes doesn't do much to narrow things down.

If you like an easy enjoyable read that has lots of action and brutality, I found the Gotrek and Felix Warhammer series to be quite enjoyable.

The First Law I just found boring and the rest I think were just aimed a slightly younger audience maybe.

I dont know what else to tell ya. I just want interesting characters and a realistic world that isnt too high fantasy I guess?

for further context you absolutely hated The Last of Us 2 but I loved it. I also loved The Witcher 3. Disco Elysium. The Souls games even though theyre not Story heavy. I read a lot of non-fantasy books. Lately Ive enjoyed The Three Body Problem, The Pillars of the Earth, Hyperion.
