realer
Less of fantasy
Realer is the comparative form of real, used informally where "more real" would be standard: This feels realer than anything I've experienced.
Though grammatically nonstandard, realer appears in casual speech and writing when speakers want emphasis or immediacy that "more real" lacks.
