[Raft survival + no romance + base building + dress-up system + natives + medieval setting + Western magic + absolutely no AI]
Wei Xi, a devoted fan of dress-up games, is pulled into a survival game while completing her daily quests.
Just as she thinks her unfit, hopelessly impractical self is about to game over, a System notification tells her that she has been bound to a dress-up system.
Wei Xi: ???
And so she embarks on a destitute struggle to survive (crossed out) and spend money on the System...
The more she spends, the more she finds that elves? Sure, sure; sea monsters? Sure, sure; witches? Sure, sure; undead? Sure, sure...
Thanks to the bonuses from her outfits, Wei Xi finally gets to experience what it feels like to be a genius... While everyone else is struggling to translate and learn languages, memorize material ratios, and figure out mixing times, Wei Xi finds it all a breeze. She can even improve existing products and invent new ones.
As the game continues to develop, one thing after another comes her way.
Now approaching: the raceless one, the Shattered Sea Crown, the greatest materials scientist of this century and every century, dress-up game enthusiast, omnipotent top-ranked player, maker of Tidal Echoes, Old One, undying master of the White Tower...
Wei Xi: Can she say that all she ever wanted was to be a ranged mage and make some delicious food in her spare time?
And you strange people, stop hoisting her up like that.
(The heroine is chaotic good and perfectly sane.)
