Raft Survival: But I'm the Ocean's Favorite

The rating just opened, so it'll go up. All you handsome and beautiful readers can read without worry.

[Raft survival + stockpiling + no heroine + not a do-gooder]

[Growing protagonist, not a brainless power fantasy, not reborn, not just piling up supplies; no CP, no harem, innovative, unconventional, fully game-like survival]

[If this isn't your thing, feel free to drop it. Have a happy day!]

Ling Xu was a well-adjusted young man, busy looking for a job, when the next second he and everyone else in the world were tossed onto their own rafts.

Okay, the miserable Ling Xu quickly accepted the fact that after years of hard study, he hadn't even had the chance to enjoy life before being dragged into another sea of misery.

Fine, all Ling Xu could do was set up his fishing rod and leave it to fate. Just as he was preparing to survive with the indomitable will of a socialist youth, he heard a "Ding!" in his head. "An anomaly has been detected... Processing failed... Processing failed... Ding! Ocean Survival System successfully bound."

As soon as the voice faded, a crow landed on his shoulder. It was strange enough that it could talk, but what it said was: "Did you know you're a jellyfish spirit?"

Ling Xu: ?

Later, he discovered that every creature in the sea recognized him from before he took human form. Sharks swam around him, whales offered to be his mount, and octopuses secretly delivered pearls to his raft in the middle of the night.

Other people survived by grinding. Ling Xu survived with the sea.

But just as Ling Xu was starting to relax, the crow said something that sent a chill down his spine:

"In your previous life, you personally destroyed the old civilization. Now they want you to do it again."

Drifting on a raft, with the abyss beneath the waves waiting for him to come home.
