> Slice of life describes the depiction of mundane experiences in art and entertainment. In theater it refers to naturalism, while in literary parlance it is a narrative technique in which a seemingly arbitrary sequence of events in a character's life is presented, often lacking plot development, conflict and exposition, and often having an open ending. ([ref](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slice_of_life)) Slice of Life is an old genre (despite the popularity of the term now in anime/manga) but is one way to do as you suggest. Many other novels use other methods to avoid tying up their loose ends. Sometimes the primary plot point is resolved, but not always.
