Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
This light novel is ideal for young adult readers who enjoy reflective and episodic fantasy stories with strong female protagonists and a focus on exploration and personal growth rather than traditional heroics.
"Once upon a time, there was a witch named Elaina who set off on a journey across the world. Along the way, she would meet all kinds of people, from a country full of witches to a giant in love with his own muscles. With each meeting, Elaina would become a small part of their stories, and her own world would get a little bit bigger"--

Description
It's not about the destination...
What's your favourite story? Does it have a hero who slays a dragon and saves a princess? Or a child of prophecy destined for greatness? Well, my favourite story is a little different.
It's the tale of a witch who travels the world, seeking nothing in particular. With no quest of her own, she's free to wander wherever the wind takes her, adding a few pages to the story of whomever she meets before setting off on her next adventure. At the end of her travels, the witch takes on an apprentice who will one day begin her own journey. And so the cycle continues, or so the story goes.
Now, the witch who starts the story anew... who could she be?
Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, Vol. 1 by Azure, Jougi Shiraishi, Nicole Wilder, invites you into this enchanting narrative where the journey itself is the true adventure.
