    I only recommend this one. It's set in a zombie world, but there's no system, no cheat codes, and no mutations.

He's not a loser who rises to power; he's a reliable adult male with stable emotions and a penchant for dry humor. He doesn't turn evil or become a saint. He helps those in distress whenever possible, and even provides a meal to teammates facing infection. He treats people like human beings, respects women, and cares for the elderly and children. Here are some of the protagonist's values: "I think people should live like human beings. I feel sorry for people facing such a disaster, with zombies everywhere. But if people become cold-blooded because of this, acting like beasts, resorting to any means to survive, then there's nothing to regret. Extinction is extinction, what difference does it make?"

    Reader note

    This is a super enjoyable transmigration-to-primitive farming novel. The author put a lot of effort into describing the primitive environment, including saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, harsh weather, and the naked survival of the fittest among tribes, giving it a truly primal feel. The protagonist's survival process is very realistic, such as the difficulty of starting a fire for the first time and the excitement of obtaining salt; these details make the reader feel immersed. Later, as the tribe develops, they begin to engage in agriculture, metallurgy, and city building, and the process of civilization's evolution is very engaging. However, in some places, the protagonist's halo is a bit too strong, always managing to resolve crises in time, but as a light novel, this is understandable. The following is the original book's introduction: [Primitive + Multiple Female Leads + Farming + Bloodline Awakening] He jumped off a building seeking death, but his soul transmigrated to the primitive world! When he lit the first flame of civilization, the savage land began to tremble! He created bows and arrows, making enemy armies wielding stone spears tremble with fear; he fired pottery, earning the worship of his tribe; he smelted bronze, breaking the shackles of the old era. He was a modern man driven to his death by a terminal illness, a "divine messenger" who saved the Bailu clan, and a witch king who awakened the bloodline of the twelve ancestral witches! Behind him were gentle twin flowers, a charming female clan leader, and a heroic female general... Step by step, he used technology and force to take control of the world and create the first golden age of mankind.

    This book, you could say, has no cheat codes; it relies entirely on the female protagonist's wisdom and knowledge. The tribe has very few eccentric characters; they're very united, and the female protagonist is practically the tribe's darling. There's a romance subtly present, but it's relatively minor and doesn't interfere with the plot development at all. It's a slow-burning story; both the plot development and the romance feel very natural to the reader.
