From the Moon, Lit by Starlight

The Protagonist Doesn't Have to Be a Hero, but Still Works Hard for Everyone

We are just ordinary people, sparks that can start a prairie fire. We don't dare ask for much, but we hope to go farther, that civilization will endure and the sparks will never die. Everyone is part of a collective, whether it is a nation or an entire civilization. The protagonist doesn't have to be overwhelmingly invincible: the spirit matters more. Please recommend some books.
