I've already read most of these female-oriented novels on QQ, so I'd appreciate recommendations (female-oriented novels preferred; for male-oriented novels, please recommend those that don't insult women, don't use excessive profanity, and aren't harem or harem-style).

    1 Is set in the ocean, where the protagonist survives on ice floes and can hear everything talking. It's hilarious and entertaining throughout, and the protagonist is quite intelligent. 2 Is set in a log cabin. At first, I thought the protagonist's intelligence was comparable to that of a grown banana, but it gets better later. Those who aren't picky eaters might enjoy it. 3 Starts in an apartment where you can open a door to explore each day. The protagonist's character development isn't fully established in the first few hundred pages; he's a bit slow-witted, but he'll improve in a few more pages. He becomes decisive and ruthless. Readers who enjoy stories with a "I fight, I kill, I kill" vibe should check it out.
