The tags and the title of the novel are completely wrong. They've attracted the wrong group of readers and set the wrong expectations, which leads to disappointment when you actually read it.
.
At first glance, you'd expect this novel to be an action-adventure where you follow the main character's journey towards his goal and watch him overcome obstacles. But this novel doesn't offer any of that.
.
Instead, this novel is purely a slice-of-life story where each chapter is all about the everyday lives of a group of people. Sure, there's some fighting and adventure, but that's only a side thing and never the main focus.

It's like starting to read Game of Thrones, expecting sword fights, wars, and dragons to be the main focus, but ending up disappointed because it's all about dialogue and politics.

If you like slice-of-life stories, you might find this novel enjoyable.
The translator did an excellent job, although there were moments when it was slightly challenging to distinguish the speakers due to the lengthy descriptions (which, I must admit, is not really the translator's fault).
In terms of the story: 9 out of 10. It would have been a perfect 10 if only the ending aligned with my preference, but that's just my personal bias.
Characters: Surprisingly well-developed for such a concise tale. My simple-minded self managed to connect with them quite promptly.
Remember, as always, a bit of suspension of disbelief is required to fully immerse yourself. Pay attention to the tags and read the first chapter to grasp what I mean. If the listed genres interest you, this is definitely worth a read.
