What novels or anthologies should I read if I like magical realism like Murakami's works, but I don't want to read about magic cats and people who listen to jazz while they make ramen all day every day?

A lot of people consider Gabriel Garcia-Marquez to be the GOAT of magical realism. I haven't read much of him but I'd very highly recommend 100 Years of Solitude. Chronicle of a Death Foretold is also good but much less magical realism.

I don't get the excessive praise towards Garcia Márquez, I've read 5 books by him (in spanish) and they're rather dull and even boring
