Looking for Novels About House Renovation, Design, Infrastructure, and Business Management
Are there any stories where the protagonist designs an entire cruise ship, skyscraper, residential complex, hotel, resort, and so on? Something like Panther’s mountain lodge next door, with a focus on interior design and surroundings. Ideally, the protagonist builds it for themself to live in. It can be a tycoon story or an apocalypse story.
Looking for Good Wasteland Novels, Recent Ones Have All Been Boring
The wasteland novels people recommend are all boring. The golden fingers are way too powerful, or else the stories are about being reborn or transmigrating. Not for me. I want something about people scavenging out in the wasteland, not stories where they can't even make the main plot clear.

Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland Survival with a Couple, a One-on-One Romance, and No Overpowered Golden Finger
Looking for wasteland scavenger stories, and they absolutely must have a couple!!! What’s the point of surviving in the wasteland without any romance? They absolutely must have a couple!!! Stories with kids are fine too, but there has to be a couple!!! Life in the wasteland needs something to hold on to, or how is it any different from being a zombie?

It's a very good read, with no obvious logical problems. The readers are intelligent; it's hard to find a story that's both unstructured and realistic. The female lead is very hypocritical and has a poor ability to accept change; she wants others to live according to her ideas.
The rural life is well-written and heartwarming, and the writing style is quite good. Unfortunately, the opening scene of everyone clearing land and then immediately abolishing the orphanage is a bit far-fetched; I really want to complain about it. If the logic were more reasonable, it would be even better. 😂 Keep it up! [Under pressure to finish]
The author was incredibly verbose in the first few dozen chapters, repeating the same thing over and over again, which left me speechless. The later chapters, however, are much better, gradually improving. I'm currently following the latest chapter, and the main story is quite sound; it's worth a read.
Unlike post-apocalyptic settings involving nuclear and solar radiation, the characters are well-developed and have distinct personalities. It includes infrastructure building, farming, and beachcombing—it's great! Update soon!
It's a good watch; at least the female lead isn't overpowered and the show isn't just for the sake of being entertaining. The logic is sound.
Overall, it's alright. While some people in the comments section couldn't accept certain aspects, the reviews here seem quite positive. The reason I didn't give it a perfect score is because, while food plays a significant role in the book, the descriptions of finding the ingredients and preparing the food are rushed and glossed over.
It's incredibly good, even with the romantic pairing. The reason I used to dislike romantic pairings was that many couples ended up dragging each other down. Either the partner's relatives were a burden, or the partner's friends were. Or the main characters were like suckers, taking in ungrateful wretches. This book is different; they complement each other.
Another book that's so captivating, it's really good!
The subject matter is quite novel, and there aren't too many bizarre characters. It's just that the word count is too low. Two updates a day aren't enough. I hope the author can maintain the quality while also increasing the quantity!
I really like this kind of positive and uplifting story, where the female lead shows a strong sense of national responsibility and supports the alliance's development in every way she can. 💕 I also love this slow-paced, farming-themed novel. Author, please update soon! 😢
