The protagonist returns from a big city to his backward hometown, a small county, and unexpectedly unlocks a special system: the more permanent residents the county has, the higher his monthly income.

    These are all urban novels. The first one is quite detailed and emotionally resonant, with the protagonist getting through each step of the way. The third one is a rebirth novel, quite realistic, showing the protagonist's early entrepreneurial journey, where every step was achieved through sheer hard work. The second one is a light novel with some angst, but it's definitely worth reading. The fourth one is a mindless, feel-good story, but the author's descriptions of food are amazing. Just reading a few chapters made me so hungry I wanted to chew on my phone! The last one is a pure farming novel, but it's very healing.
