   This road trip survival novel is a must-read! The female lead has amazing advantages and there's no romantic partner. She's incredibly smart, perfectly portrayed, and while others are struggling financially, she's already achieved the freedom to eat vegetables and hot pot. I, Fatty Tiger, wholeheartedly recommend it! 10 stars! ⭐

   The first book by the new "Book Saint" features a female protagonist whose cheat system is a game about seeking immortality, with a homestead where she can plant crops and build factories to manufacture items. The second book has a 100% enlightenment system for the female protagonist, which becomes a small cheat. The third book was alright.

   This is the only, only, only unfinished novel. I'm following it every day, and so far, there haven't been any disappointing chapters. It's a very interesting road trip survival story. Because this one is unfinished, I tried other road trip novels, but the settings were too similar, and I couldn't get into them. Just stick with this one; once you start reading, the plot keeps you hooked, chapter after chapter, and then... Wait for the update at 8 PM! Follow me~ I'll share completed novels I've finished every week. I drop many, so the number isn't large, but I guarantee quality.
