Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? - eviltoast

I’m embarrassed to say that I have encountered this, this particular type of story on multiple occasions… So I got curious, is there a name to this trope?

      And the powers, as in all the cosmere series, has limits which balances it out.

      No endless pushes, flying, etc. every world has some resources or constraint so you’re not left with a “Superman” kind of scenario.
