Looking for books similar to Growing Immortal from a Single Tree. Any setting is fine, but preferably without a System. I'd like something about slowly exploring and figuring things out, ideally becoming a totem or deity worshipped by people, then gradually growing in power while staying out of worldly conflicts.

A Classic Cultivation Story: One Devoted Couple Together for Life, Ascending to the Immortal Dao
Immortals are the highest realm in this cultivation system. This isn't martial arts cultivation. I want a devoted romance, no harem, and a clever, quick-witted protagonist.

It's a very good read. The female protagonist gradually cultivates her spiritual body from an ordinary locust tree to explore the cultivation world. The bond between her and the male protagonist develops naturally, without too many dramatic or melodramatic plot twists. Most of the other characters are also friendly and not the kind that are annoying to watch.
Reviewed on February 23, 2026. I just finished reading the latest update today. It gave me a very gentle feeling. From the very beginning, I felt this story was right up my alley. There are no cheat codes, only the female protagonist's perseverance and resilience after surviving countless near-death experiences after transmigrating, which led to her gradual growth.
A very fresh perspective. Many of Tomato's female-oriented novels feature humans, so this is quite unique compared to other books I've read. The emotional descriptions are quite delicate, and you can see the author's writing style improves significantly towards the end. It's just that it's so short; I finished it in no time! (╥_╥) Keep it up!
From a stylistic perspective, the novel unfolds from the viewpoint of plant spirits, depicting mortals, immortals, demons, and monsters all walking their own paths in this world—a refreshing and elegant approach, pursuing the Great Dao is quite appealing. As for the characters, both the female lead and others possess their own distinct personalities, avoiding rigidity and monotony.
This book is simply divine to me! Perhaps the author wasn't quite as skilled at the beginning, but they really shine later on, describing emotions with such delicate subtlety. There are no melodramatic plot twists; the emotions flow gently, not intensely, but very comfortably and naturally. My review is solely my own opinion of the book; if you disagree, you're right. [Under pressure][Under pressure]
I'm currently following the story and quite satisfied so far. The narrative has a gentle, flowing quality. Unlike typical face-slapping or comedic storylines, this one features a female protagonist who embarks on her cultivation journey from a nearly dead old locust tree in a remote village in the mortal realm. It depicts a different perspective on cultivation than human cultivation. I look forward to the author's continued development 😊
I really enjoyed the narrative of this book; it unfolds gently and naturally. I especially loved the character portrayals. The female lead is resilient and has her own unique way of life, while the male lead is gentle (heaven knows how much I crave novels with such a gentle tone throughout). This book is filled with subtle, everyday happiness and warmth!
The novel approach of cultivating immortality from the perspective of the female protagonist who becomes a spirit from a locust tree is quite novel. The romantic storyline also progresses gradually from shallow to deep. The only drawback is that sometimes the transitions between chapters feel abrupt, and some things are not explained clearly before moving on to the next part.
It's a very novel story, with a gentle and peaceful tone throughout. The relationship between the male and female leads develops naturally and smoothly, with occasional sweet moments. They're straightforward and committed to each other, without any melodramatic misunderstandings. After reading some spoilers in the comments, I think chapter 214 is enough; I don't want any angst.
The narrative is delicate and smooth, and I really appreciate the absence of morally questionable female supporting characters; it's all very understated. However, it drags on for a long time, and the events become rather flat—really flat, too smooth. I don't mean there's a lack of dramatic twists and turns, but rather the entire process is...
