Of course not. Ideally it would work something like this.
1. You start a new game, an auto-save is created.
2. You enter Terinyo, a backup of the auto-save is made, a new auto-save is created, and the backup is deleted.
3. You save the game, the normal save file is created and the auto-save is deleted.
4. You restore the game, a copy of your save is made the auto-save, the game is restored.
5. You die, the auto-save is deleted.
So basically there would some save, somewhere, at all times until you die or quit. No matter when your power goes out (loading a game, in the middle of the game, saving the game) you would not lose progress.
If an auto-save feature is too difficult, there should at least be a quick-save that would persist until you save properly, die or quit. Some way not to lose all your progress if your computer dies while you're playing.
Edit: Yes, the play time was quite an underestimate I think. It's probably closer to 20 hours than 10 hours for me.
