   Reader note

   It's not the kind of overpowered, superhuman skill; her cheat ability is rather underwhelming—she can turn withered branches and rotten wood into fertilizer. In a post-apocalyptic world, this would be a useless skill, but in ancient times, it would be a cheat code for clearing land. Seeing a pile of rotten wood turn into fertile fields in her hands, and what others see as barren mountains and bald ridges as a treasure trove for her, I give that contrast a perfect score.
