    Post-apocalyptic setting + business management + no romantic pairing. The female lead is practically invincible, and the shop has rules (set by the female lead) that everyone who comes in must follow. Villains who are hostile to the female lead won't survive more than two chapters. Don't miss this if you enjoy fast-paced business management novels!

    These are all wish-fulfillment novels with invincible female protagonists. Some have romantic partners, some don't. Pick and choose whichever you like. I think they're all pretty good. Everyone has different tastes, but I can recommend them if you're looking for something to read or if you like post-apocalyptic stories. Read whichever one you like.

    The first book didn't have a high rating, but it was really interesting. I love reading this kind of book, so you know how it is when it's not very good. The second book was recommended by a TikTok influencer; it's good, with a very novel concept. Although it's not a hotel, your own space, like a house, is constantly being upgraded.
