This is personally on of my favorite novels I've ever read on here. There's something so calming and uplifting about watching these two people slowly grow closer and forn there own little found family. It's become my own little personal safe haven on escapism and I find myself returning to it again.I really enjoy the slow character development and growth. I also love that the characters have emotional closeness without romantic intrest, which I find is often used as a crutch in most fiction. The world building and background is a little lacking, and some of the side characters are shallow but I understand that both of the those are trope that are practically staples to this genre.No its not realistic for the main character to invent soap when they're five, but it's also not realistic to be reincarnated into another world with magic. Yes it's inaccurate for a vaguely medical europe to not have soap, good food, or good alcohol (because despite popular belief, those existed then), but I think the author knows that but is just using those to emphasize the misery of daily life and the shift in standards that the main character has to endure. Will forever be a favorite, thanks to the translators and the author for bringing this into the world.
