   Reader note

   All are survival novels from the female protagonist's perspective without a romantic pairing. The first two aren't overpowered; everyone has a cheat ability, but the protagonist has a better one—the kind that's common to all, but the protagonist has an even better one. The first book, *Survival Game: Hoarding, One Stockpile, One Silent Word*, is a shelter survival novel. The female protagonist's cheat ability is the talent "Special Repair Apprentice" (everyone has the opportunity to acquire talents, each different), which isn't extremely powerful, but enough for the protagonist to snowball her wealth. The protagonist is relatively weak in the first few chapters; it's not the kind of protagonist who starts with a jackpot and enjoys themselves from beginning to end, but rather a protagonist who grows through development. The second book, *Everyone's Survival Game, Starting with a Small, Ragged House*, is also a shelter survival novel. The setting is that everyone has a companion animal; others have pigs, dogs, cats, and sheep, while the protagonist has a young dragon. So far, the protagonist's cheat ability isn't very powerful, and the dragon gets tired easily, lacking offensive capabilities; she mainly finds supplies and carries things. The protagonist has connections with the official organization and is the kind of person who isn't a saint but follows the rules. The third book, *Island Survival: Stop Spreading Rumors I'm an NPC*, as the title suggests, is an island survival novel and is already completed. This book has a huge cheat code, mainly based on luck. Later on, you can feel the power imbalance due to the overwhelming power of the characters. As a purely enjoyable read, it's still okay. (There's a minor flaw: the ending relies on the power of male creatures to turn the tide. I don't really like this kind of story—a strong male protagonist, strong male creatures, and the protagonist relying on them for protection. If you don't mind this, you can read it.) The fourth book, "Exiled to a Mountain Valley, Building a Top-Tier Cultivation Paradise," is a bit special. It feels more like a simulator ensemble novel, with a wilderness survival element in the early stages. The female protagonist uses her family as a base and gradually expands outwards. There are absolutely no awful characters in her family! No awful characters! No awful characters! No awful characters! No need to worry about breast milk!!! And although the female protagonist is a child, she has a very high status in the family, almost like she has the final say.

   🌈The first book is a road trip survival story, and overall it's been alright so far. The second book is similar. The third one is a bit different; it's set on a train, with everyone split into several trains, and then they go to mission points to complete tasks. The fourth one starts by dropping into a forest, where they build a beautiful treehouse, and then each screen is different, including those in the clouds, where the treehouse moves accordingly. The fifth one features a female forensic pathologist, and it's about natural disasters, where they find a door to build a shelter, and so on. We're currently on the second natural disaster. The sixth one is about sea survival, and the seventh one involves everyone being dropped onto a continent, where they build territories and recruit others to expand them.
