Please don’t recommend stories about monsters and demons that veer off topic after just a couple of days. I want to watch someone slowly develop their own shelter.
No Romance, No Raising Kids, No Women Fighting Each Other, No Foolishly Generous Heroine, No Excessive Kindness
Why do female-oriented transmigration stories always have the female lead either hand some guy a golden finger or raise a bunch of kids?! And why are all the female characters except the protagonist so badly written in so many stories?! Women can be exceptional too, it's not just an exception! If you hate women, don't write female-oriented fiction!!!

I Hate Stories Where the Protagonist Joins the Authorities. Looking for Freedom, Not a Desk Job
I want some cultivation novels with protagonists who are free-spirited. Strange and uncanny settings are fine too.
A Period Story Where the Female Lead Stockpiles Goods by the Ton Before She Transmigrates
If that's not what you're looking for, please skip this. I've recently gotten into these. I only want stories set in a past era, no System novels and no stories with obnoxious, shameless characters.
I'm into Farming Novels Lately. Preferably with a Pocket Dimension, Completed, and Not Angsty
Looking for stories about farming, raising children, and building wealth, with few scheming women and a strong, fiercely protective female lead. Ideally set in ancient times.
Any Lone-Wolf Stories? Female-Oriented, No Romance
The female protagonist is completely alone, with no family and no partner. She can get along with other people, but has no teammates and always moves forward alone. Any genre is fine, such as survival, infinite-flow, or apocalypse stories, like that one about the split personality.

Completed Stories About a Peaceful, Happy Everyday Life
The female lead spent her past life rushing around, busy every single day. After she transmigrates to ancient times or another era, all she does is farm, raise children, and handle the daily necessities. She lives a simple, peaceful life.
Any Novels Where the Protagonist Loves Nature and Every Animal and Plant Loves Them?
A Hoarder's Dream: Stories About Stockpiling Supplies and Having a Storage Space, Please
The writing! The writing! I'm emphasizing that I want good prose 👌 Modern or period settings are both fine, preferably with no CP. Either a male or female perspective is fine. Please, no stories where the protagonist starts with hundreds of billions or trillions; I can't even dream of that much money. I love detailed stockpiling scenes, where they happily store food for winter like a little squirrel.
Farming, No Romance, No Family, Just One Person on Their Own
Pure Natural-Disaster Survival Stories, Like Heat Waves and Torrential Rain, No Superpowers, Pocket Dimensions, or System
Pure survival stories about extreme weather. No special powers, no System, no pocket dimension, no zombies.

Farming, Home Renovation, Brewing Wine with a Spirit Spring, and a Relaxing Pace
No pretending to be poor, no face-slapping, no helping the whole village get rich, and no opening a zoo! Grow top-tier flowers and medicinal herbs, and build a pond for ornamental fish. Livestreaming is fine!
Stories About Lucky Heroines Gathering Resources or Growing Crops
Looking for books similar to "Otherworldly Continent: The Useless Spirit Crafter". Something like this, set in a space-faring or alternate world where people have to gather supplies in the wilderness to survive. The female lead is very lucky and always finds all kinds of strange and wonderful things.

This kind of life—with space, cats, abundant resources, minimal danger, and complete freedom—should seem warm and comfortable. However, the author's writing always conveys a sense of loneliness and unease, a feeling of being isolated and unsure of what one is afraid of.
A very moving and tear-jerking story. I wouldn't recommend it for lonely people, as it can be incredibly impactful! I cried buckets when the Leopard Mom died! Thankfully, the side story included "medical expenses," which prevented me from becoming depressed and dying.
It's a good read, a hoarding story without a romantic pairing. The female lead has a spatial ability and loves collecting all sorts of things whenever she goes to a new place. Aside from the first few chapters about resource collection, it gets better as it goes on. Overall, it's quite heartwarming. The female lead doesn't encounter a single living human, so the early parts are quite cheerful.
The novel that made me cry the most, a novel I believe deserves an award, and one I will remember until the day I die. For me, it's the best novel I've ever read, the novel that defined my life.
This is a very good book. The story's setting is somewhat like the alien planet in Avatar, with a beautiful world and magical creatures. The author narrates it in a gentle and engaging way, with moments of joy, surprise, and subtle thoughts, making you feel as if you are there.
The protagonist's emotions are written very delicately, which is both touching and captivating. At the beginning, it is more like a family's carefree life, and later it is more like a travelogue. It is so engaging that I haven't had enough and I am looking forward to the beginning of the story in another world!
It's a great book! The beginning focuses on Bai Lin's idyllic rural life and lots of delicious food, and the two snow leopards are adorable. The later part shows Bai Lin's travels, where she meets many magical animal friends. It's a really good book!
This book clearly shows the author's improvement. It went from being somewhat difficult at the beginning, to barely readable in the first half, and then to a beautifully written and fluent second half. Highly recommended. The protagonist, Bai Lin, also transformed from a forgetful young girl into a carefree old lady, ultimately passing away with a smile, reunited with the souls of her three furry companions – a truly beautiful ending.
How come it's only 7.7? I absolutely love it! A perfect score! It's a very heartwarming story. Thank you to Leopard Mom, Snow White, and Sun White Sun for their companionship! Thank you to Bai Mo, the other two snow leopards, White Face, Little Green, Little White, Tuo Tuo, the other big antler deer, Camel, Jiao Jiao, Rain Cloud, White Crane, Shrimp Sticks, Tiger, Ginkgo Tree, and everyone else…
Humans are born alone. I admire the heroine's open-mindedness. I was saddened when she sent the snow leopard away, but everyone will eventually face death. The heroine truly grows up after she begins her journey. The people she meets on her journey are often just fleeting acquaintances, yet they leave a deep impression on her memory. The second half of the story is so well-written. The author even provided a sequel, which reunited the fans. Great job!
