    This is one of the few pure science fiction masterpieces I've read so far. There are no messy post-apocalyptic monsters, only science fiction imagination about the universe and humanity. It's a very good book, but the author updates too slowly. Maybe he needs to come up with ideas. After all, the content can't be written without brainpower!

    Reader note

    Wen Qian, who is socially awkward (and a bit of a jerk), unexpectedly gained the ability to create a spatial dimension. However, due to insufficient savings, she had to be very frugal and worked until the end of the world before resigning. With the end of the world approaching, she could only buy some raw materials and process them herself. Although she had a spatial dimension, she still worked hard to collect resources, grow vegetables, and raise livestock during the apocalypse. She had no romantic partner and lived until she naturally grew old.
