The characters are well-developed and not superficial.

    This historical fiction differs from others; it lacks revenge. Although the author possesses a cheat-like spatial ability, it's used sparingly, focusing instead on the author's survival in that era. The entire story avoids world-destroying, god-slaying, and demon-slaying plots; instead, it's mostly calm and gentle, yet heartwarming. Most notably, the author's moral compass is very strong, which is why I persisted in reading it. Crucially, the number of chapters is also relatively small. While some parts are excellent, five or six hundred chapters are simply too much to read.
