I've been reading a lot of tragedy and novels with a lot of emotional baggage, so I'm kind of looking for something light to read for a change. I'm not asking much and my standards isn't that high either, I just want a potato mc that would invoke my sense to protecc by her sheer cuteness.

Just note that it must be a female protagonist (not a side character), and she can be either awkward, adopted, one with a tragic past, disabled (as an example, deaf or unable to walk is fine, but not blind cause it makes me imagine what she's seeing - which is none), frail or sickly, depending on what you deem are the qualities of a potato. The genre can also almost be anything, except anything sci-fi or too heavy, but preferably something slice of life-ish or age progression. That said, I am not expecting that setting would be in the distant future, but something parallel to our time or a medieval-esque period.

The story can either be an original or tl'd; jp, kr, cn. But do please only try to recommend one with a lot of chapters out.

Here's the examples:

I second cinnamon bun, it’s been a cute story and while there are some heavy emotional moments, they aren’t super frequent and the overall tone of the story is lighthearted
One of the heavy scenes if when the MC has to kill another sentient creature for the first time when she really, really didn’t want to, but had to because if she didn’t something really bad would have happened and the enemy refused to stop

I remembered the story I've read. It has around 200 chapters. Well, mc is blind but she can still see, just differently. Don't know if you like GB but it doesn't play a big role. Check it out.
That's what I had in my mind when I was typing that I didn't want a blind MC. I tried reading it before, but all I could imagine were blank spaces, so it kinda ruined it for me. Thanks tho!
I believe Cinnamon Bun is the premier woobie fiction on SH.

Thank you! I don't really mind if it gets heavy from time to time, so it's okay. I'm going to bookmark it now when I start to read later
