   Highly recommended. A space-themed novel; the female lead is over 1.8 meters tall, a strong female protagonist with no romantic partner. She's incredibly capable both physically and intellectually. It's not mindless wish-fulfillment; while her mental strength isn't the absolute highest, it's still very impressive. Furthermore, her values are very sound; she doesn't aspire to be a hero above everyone else, but simply wishes for a good life for every ordinary person. In the end, she doesn't choose higher honors but instead works alongside other laborers.
