Well, it depends upon the general setting, i have seen some slice of Life rps last years, though that was elsewhere.
Would slice of life just be a sub-concept with no other things influencing the setting, or slice of life with other aspects?

I'm considering it, but that's kinda the problem. I have no interest because 1) lots of scenarios are holistic and 2) there seems to be no real reward-incentive for writing quality.

As I explained, I'm basically making a RP based on a book series that doesn't really focus on people being chased by death Final Destination style. Basically the RP focuses on people discovering how they will die, but don't die immediately. In other words, the reason it's focused on being slice of life, though with other aspects, is mainly to have people's characters be developed and react to things or events around them. What I'm trying to come up with is the setting. I was planning on having it set anywhere on Earth or a moderate town on the day where the machine is revealed to the world.

So, basically what you are wanting is a multiverse rp, with no plot, where characters from anywhere and anything could do whatever they want?
I was trying to illustrate my point by relying on figurative rather than literal language relations. If you analyze anything hard enough it starts to define itself alone.
So yes, there are hypothetical limits if genre is imaged as a scale, where form (genre) and function (plot) are at either end, and the concept of "multiverse" necessarily includes some degree of genre.
There seems to be a misconception that the type of thinking I'm trying to explain somehow has no rules. Rather, the focus concerns atomic cause and effect, as Main Nation Ministry is doing.
Edit: I should probably explain atomism is the concept where something can be divided infinitely into smaller portions, like an RP divided into events, into characters, into motives, etc.

People have tried this angle before, but I actually gave evidence to the contrary in the post your quoted. Someone is already illustrating the ideas that I'm trying to explain.

So, it would be about how people cope with knowing how they are going to die, and how that affects them and such?
Well, what size would moderate be?
It could be much more intriguing, if it is in a more close knit town, where people know one another a bit. Would possibly ramp up the possibility of paranoia, but also the possibility that people could draw support from their community.

That doesn't represent what I think good writing truly is. I'm simply implying if people have an incentive to value and improve their writing, they may find this skill is handy and applies universally.

I think what I'm looking for is an artistic dimension, actually. I want people to feel freed by creative opportunity rather than having to think about why it should make sense intellectually, as you imply.
I'm using an intellectual tone here because I'm asserting a position, but I'm quite aware that's inappropriate for an RP.

That was why I was trying to figure out the setting, because in the books, everyone pretty much accepted it. However, there are cases where people with their predictions such as MURDER would get the fear that someone is after them, but since any prediction can have multiple meanings, it can be paranoia for nothing. My idea of moderate is around 10,000. Not a minor city and not small enough to be classified as a typical small town.

The same can be seen in my current rp, where we got a small group of characters all residing on a space statipn
Will look into those books and see if I can give more input.
