Even if you haven't read *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles*, it won't affect your reading experience at all. Most chapters are set in the wasteland, full of scavenging scenes.

Her scavenging provides a lot of laughs; she's nicknamed "Rabbit-Riding Sister" by the wasteland locals. It's really good! This wasteland is characterized by grotesquely large plants and animals, radiation, and a relatively peaceful official base. The scavenging area is vast, with a wide variety of items, and there's even a scene of her going out to sea to hoard seafood.

    This is a self-proclaimed new author's recommendation. There are no special abilities (or cheat codes). If I had to name one, it would be that the female lead's parents are native inhabitants of the ruins and have survival experience. The story is set in a wasteland, involving farming, gathering, and scavenging, and includes a reincarnation plot (because the female lead experiences a psychological shift after being transported to a peaceful world) + no romantic pairing. I guarantee two updates a day. Welcome to read!
