what is the correct subgenre for a text that is composed of factual details told in a similar way to a story, with a series of real events taking the place of a plot?

The subgenre you're describing sounds like narrative nonfiction or creative nonfiction. This genre adopts the stylistic and literary techniques of fiction to create a narrative that reads like a novel but is based on true events.
Narrative nonfiction often includes elements such as character development, setting descriptions, and a structured storyline, but it remains true to the facts and aims to convey them in a compelling and engaging way. Works of narrative nonfiction can cover a wide range of topics, including history, biography, memoir, science, travel, and more. Within this genre, there are various subgenres, such as:
1. **Literary Journalism** or **New Journalism**: Uses the techniques of fiction to craft stories about real-life events, often focusing on the human side of news stories.
2. **Biography**: A detailed description of a person's life that provides an analysis of their personality and exploits.
3. **Memoir**: A collection of memories that an individual writes about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in the author's life.
4. **True Crime**: A genre that examines actual crimes, typically murders, and criminal investigations in a narrative format.
5. **Travel Literature**: Narrative accounts of travel experiences, blending personal experience with cultural analysis or historical context.
6. **Nature Writing**: Stories or essays that focus on the natural world and our relationship with it, often written in a narrative style.
7. **Historical Nonfiction**: Detailed narratives about historical events told in a story-like manner.
The key to narrative nonfiction is that while it employs storytelling techniques typically found in fiction, it does so without straying from the factual accuracy of the events it describes.
