[No romance + island development + beloved by all + Western fantasy + magic + a touch of ensemble cast]
In 2333, a game called Survival is released. Its Western fantasy style, realistic graphics, and innovative gameplay attract a small group of players.
Lin Baibai is both a player of the game and an employee at the studio that made it.
One day, the game goes offline for maintenance. Lin Baibai, who is an insider at the game studio (not really), arrives outside the building where the studio is located. Before she can even step inside, she is pulled into the game.
As a game employee, Lin Baibai receives the employee benefits offered by the game and inherits the account she used to play with.
And so begins her relaxing, retiree-style life... right?
While others fight for their lives over a bottle of water, Lin Baibai uses water to irrigate her fields.
While others battle ferocious beasts tooth and nail, Lin Baibai savors delicious beast meat.
While others patch up their ramshackle wooden rafts, Lin Baibai becomes an island lord.
While others...
Other players: Enough! Stop talking about “others”! Those others are us!

They thought the end of the beginner phase would mean facing an even harsher struggle to survive at sea. Instead, they were thrown into another world, and Lin Baibai was recruited by the System’s survival game as a full-time employee. On a continent rich in magical elements, Lin Baibai and her teammates set out to explore the new world.
In the end, she becomes a godlike being, and her story is told across the entire continent.
