   All three books feature a female protagonist in a post-apocalyptic world with no romantic partner, and all have systems and are not overly compassionate. The first book's protagonist is obsessed with "nuclear peace" and seeks revenge: multiple dimensions, obsessed with making money, currently being serialized… The second book leans more towards a fast-paced, action-packed story; she's invincible, has employees to support her, and is currently updating to a vampire apocalypse. The author's writing style is humorous, and I'm laughing so hard! The third book is already completed, featuring multiple dimensions to choose from, a boss obsessed with making money, employees falling in love, initially admiring top salesperson 001, only to discover that 098 is actually 001, and finally, the system has a physical form! A cute little fox!

   Book Recommendations📚 Currently reading: ① (Purely sales-oriented) Quick Transmigration Management, each story is quite interesting and covers various backgrounds and characters; ② and ③ are by the same author, all post-apocalyptic themes, but with different settings. ② Is purely sales-oriented, while ③ is currently developing towards base management. I recommend reading ② first (because it's already completed); ④ is a post-apocalyptic management theme, currently quite good, with a smooth plot. ❗ 3 And 4 are currently being serialized.

    All three are about opening shops in the apocalypse. They're really good (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡. I loved the first one; the female lead can open various shops in many apocalyptic worlds, such as fast food restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, blind box shops, etc. She's a strong woman, not a saint. But she also has a kind side; the boxed lunches she sells don't increase in price with points, remaining the same as before the apocalypse, making them affordable for ordinary people. In the ancient apocalypse, when there wasn't even a base and everything was in chaos, she led her employees in a flying vehicle to rescue a city. Although saving the people was mutually beneficial, and the female lead could earn points, she could have chosen not to save them, watched them die, and then looted treasures to exchange for points, but she didn't. She's also ruthless towards enemies, using a "dog-beating stick" directly. For serious offenses, she's executed. The second one is about opening a hotel in a modern apocalypse, then unlocking various shops and schools, etc. She's a strong woman, but not a saint either. The third one is about opening a buffet restaurant in a modern apocalypse, leveling up all the way, but the updates are extremely slow. All three are without romance.

    Both are non-romance (no romantic pairing). The first book has a female protagonist from another planet who accidentally arrives in a post-apocalyptic world to complete her graduation project. The second book features a reborn female protagonist who eventually takes revenge, but the revenge is only shown in the last few chapters; the focus is still on opening a shop. I'm looking for some post-apocalyptic novels with no romantic pairing where the protagonist only runs a shop and doesn't stay overnight.
