   Come on, everyone! Here's a completed, no-romance novel for you to enjoy! I highly recommend this one for those shop-themed stories 😎 It's set in a post-apocalyptic world where the female lead runs a self-service restaurant and a hotel with a protective shield. The system unconditionally sides with her, while she just wants to coast along. She's decisive, ruthless, and clear about her grudges. Through various business ventures and life experiences, the hotel accidentally levels up. In short, the female lead doesn't have to fight zombies, there's no romantic pairing, it's quite laid-back, and there are no major flaws. If you like relaxed stories, give it a try!
