   The female lead and her entire neighborhood are transported to another world together, which is quite interesting. They all work together to build their home, which is nice. However, the male lead appears a bit early and is somewhat greasy, but thankfully he's not too long to keep reading. It seems the author isn't very good at writing romance; the main plot and exploration are much more engaging than the romance.

   It's a good read, without any cheat codes. The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a 13-year-old girl in a rural village. She earns money, studies, and helps the village improve its life. It's well-written. The male protagonist has appeared, but it doesn't significantly affect the story.

    Dropped [chin resting on hand] The premise is quite interesting. It's a modern cultivation novel, and so far it's pretty good. The story is quite long, with a slow pace, but the protagonist's refusal to reveal her hidden spiritual root makes it a bit unsettling. Also, a minor complaint: the female lead's mother has a single spiritual root but doesn't cultivate, though her family is currently just background characters with little plot development. It's a bit frustrating to read now, so I've dropped it.

It's really good; the characters and plot are great, the character development and plot twists are smooth, and the story is engaging.

    So far it's not bad, and the plot development is worth looking forward to. The female lead was a medical student in her past life, and she is reborn in Chinatown, using her parents' struggles as a prototype for the story. It starts with a Chinese novel, then moves on to writing English novels, interspersed with other writing activities. There are some campus club elements, but the part about starting a business in college is a bit off-topic and feels a bit padded. It's almost over, but I'm starting to lose interest.
