   All are pure farming stories, no cheat codes, the protagonists are hardworking and ambitious, and their daily lives are full of exciting ups and downs. The logic is sound, and the writing is good. The last book is about beachcombing. Some of the ratings are low, I don't know why, but they are really good. I personally think my taste is pretty high 😂 because there are so many low-quality books on Taobao, many of which require removing the hype to read, and some even get basic addition and subtraction wrong, like the age-related stuff. Reading them makes me feel like my IQ is being insulted 😂. I really enjoy farming stories, so I don't keep any that aren't decent on my bookshelf 😂. These are the ones I think are safe to read 🫰🏻. (Please don't be rude, thank you. If you have any good recommendations, feel free to suggest them in the comments 😊)

    Reader note

    I've personally tested it and if you don't like it, I'll come and hit you [crying]. The first three books don't have any couples, but the last two do. I just finished the first one today and it left the deepest impression on me. It was really good. There were no awful relatives or too much scheming in the whole story, and it was quite heartwarming. The author's writing style was also very good. The only flaw was that there were some typos, but the flaws didn't detract from the overall quality. I read the second and third books a year ago. The first one is about escaping famine and then farming. The second one is about the female lead leading a group of people to escape famine and developing along the way. I like this book because it's a kind of ensemble piece. Although it revolves around the female lead, everyone has their own characteristics. The downside is that there are too many characters, and my brain isn't good enough to remember them all, but it's quite funny to read. The third book also left a deep impression because it's about planning and building a city. While farming, you also do infrastructure development and economic growth. I like reading this kind of female lead, no-couple, infrastructure-building novel (if you have any similar novels, please recommend them to me). There's not much to say about the fourth and fifth books. They were well-written, but I don't like the male lead, haha. I dropped the book when I saw the male lead appear and flirt with the female lead.
