   Highly recommend post-apocalyptic farming novels! ‼️ In the first book, the female protagonist's stockpiled supplies, enough for 500 years, were all swallowed up by a system, leaving her a penniless slum girl who has to fend for herself. Not many cheat codes! ‼️ In the second book, the apocalypse arrives, and the male protagonist and his pet frog farm, fight monsters, and build a "cozy" little house. Doesn't this traveling frog, who always wanted to bring home a beautiful zombie wife for its owner, want one?
