The Girl Who Bore the Flame Ring火輪を抱いた少女

Low fantasy: magic is rare and mysterious. Set in a medieval world, the story follows a lighthearted and childish main character as she navigates her way through tumultuous times as an empire quakes.
She isn't naive, she isn't s*upid, she isn't a genius. She is, however, the single ray of sunshine in an otherwise grim world; at least as far as any reader is concerned.
This tale is very down-to-earth, generally makes sense, and touches on themes of taxation, the war on drugs, and disease. While it briefly touches on them, it does not dwell, and the lighthearted protagonist is the saving grace of this novel. It really rides on our main girl. War does take its toll on the cast, but the light of hope never fades.
Is it worth reading? I dedicated two years of my life to translate it. That ought to be answer enough. I've gone through ups and downs along side the characters in this novel, and they will always have a special place in my heart.
