    Originally, I was looking for a work to replace the one I found for the serialized novel "Seeking Songs," but it started off slow and then went on to explode. In the early episodes, the female lead, reborn, was caught between the love of her adoptive parents and the betrayal of her brother. I initially comforted myself by thinking that I could just make do with the work I found for "Seeking Songs," but later I realized that the world-building was expanding rapidly, and even the female lead's rebirth was something she had planned herself.

    I'm not sure if this counts. It feels very similar to "Seeking Song," and the female protagonist obtains a trading system, which isn't very noticeable at first but becomes increasingly powerful later on. There's also a sense of conflict with other races later on.
