    Curator note

    The best farming novel I've ever read! The author has laid out a very complete world view, a world where orcs and magical creatures coexist, not just some perfunctory setting like an ordinary person growing ears. You can tell that the author has carefully conceived this world view. It's rare to see a farming story because most are overly romantic and illogical. This one is just right. The protagonist works hard on the farm every day with his husband and a bunch of magical animals, but in the end, he doesn't easily win first place in the orange planting competition and instead ranks in the middle (truly, farming still requires experience!). The romance is incredibly sweet, with no dragging or misunderstandings, and no annoying antagonists. Both characters are very passionate about each other, and the pairing of the younger, more affectionate bottom and the older, more mature top is very appealing. I especially loved the early and middle stages of their relationship because they were completely in love… Later on, they became more like an older couple, though still very sweet. After reading it, I felt like I had enjoyed a giant fairytale. The food described was both down-to-earth and delicious, and it felt like everyone was trying to live their own little lives and run their own farms. The downsides were the numerous typos that the author didn't correct, and the author's excessive tendency to create balance... Everyone with a name had to be paired with someone else, even two single people were balanced in the end... Also, the author loved to describe the faces of people who were admired (although it was a cynical kind of admiration, it happened far too often!). In short, this story is absolutely worth reading; it's such a waste to only have this few favorites! It's exactly the kind of sweet and romantic story I love—a true two-person comedy!

    It wasn't very good. The romance felt a bit nonsensical, and the author's narration was disjointed, like writing whatever came to mind. The description of Mushroom Dududu wasn't cute, just awkward...

    Curator note

    I've read 90% of this book, and overall I think it's quite good. What makes this beast-themed novel different from others and what keeps me reading is that the protagonist doesn't need to "save" a race or a society. Life was relatively stable and prosperous for everyone. The orcs didn't make tools simply because they were lazy; they preferred to lie in the sun. Therefore, later on, they only needed to teach those who wanted to learn how to make practical things. Most of the time, the bottom is trying to improve his own meals, while the top is simply too greedy and willingly walks into the trap to help. The downside is that the two of them are incredibly busy. It feels like they do in a day what I do in a month. It's like the word "rest" doesn't exist in their vocabulary. They work from morning till night and can come up with endless tasks. I didn't watch it in the end because after having a child, I not only have to take care of the baby, but also farm and make baby food... It made me feel so tired. But overall it was considered a cure.

    Curator note

    This is an exceptionally good fourth-day catastrophe summoning player-centric novel. It's the best of its kind. Others often treat players as obedient tools to create a sense of gratification, or portray them as overly realistic and masculine, making them unappealing. This one is perfect. The protagonist's presence is just right—not too much, not too little—and he doesn't become a mere camera; it's still a satisfying read. However, the players are also given significant attention. Each slime has its own personality, and remarkably, I was able to remember almost all of their names after finishing it. It's amazing! Although the players are minor characters, the protagonist cleverly uses them to his advantage for the planet, ensuring neither side feels wronged. In short, it's incredibly good. This is the first new book I've added to my reading list in six months.

    This book actually has good writing and a good plot... But the main couple is incredibly poor at the beginning. The protagonist transmigrates into a family where his father died while performing corvée labor, leaving behind his younger brother, sister, and stepmother. The other protagonist's father also died, and he also has a younger brother whose education needs to be supported. So, the protagonist tries to sell snails in town. At first, things go well, but then he offends the gambling den owners, and the waterways are blocked, forcing him to walk along mountain paths every day. He wears out several pairs of shoes trying to pay off his debts by selling snails and fried dough sticks. Then, the government increases the grain tax (land tax), making life extremely difficult...

    My god, this book is killing me! Two people transmigrated to the 5th or 6th century, penniless and needing to have a child before they could leave. The protagonist (uke) was even transmigrated into a poor family with several younger siblings. Supporting his education was already difficult enough, and to afford a cheap hotel room with the other protagonist (seme), he felt guilty and had to save up money from his savings. Yes, although the other protagonist's family was wealthy, he didn't have much pocket money, so they had to split the cost of the room… And even though it's the bottom who gives birth, he still has to constantly fawn over the top and coax him into doing missions (and judging from the ratings, the two of them are still stuck in this era, oh my god).

    It's great! I followed the serialization back then, and this one, even with the background character's romance flowing like water, feels like it didn't need any cuts after being published as a physical book. The protagonist's career is a major focus, but it's very satisfying. I found the idea of building a publishing group within the realm of prehistoric fantasy literature to be very innovative and interesting.

    For me, it was a book that started strong but ended weak. However, since the beginning is really quite good, I recommend reading the first 700,000 words. The beginning is a lighthearted and enjoyable read; the male lead is like a little sun, and the female lead is like a pitiful little thing—the two of them rub against each other like little animals. Moreover, there are basically no annoying supporting characters (except for a few cannon fodder). However, things took a sharp turn for the worse after the protagonist's elven bloodline was revealed. When I praised this story before, I said that it didn't use any overpowered plot devices; everyone has their own destiny. However, after it was revealed that the other supporting characters (players) were basically not described much afterward. The overly powerful cheat codes make the survival game lack a sense of urgency; each natural disaster feels like a merciless reward machine for the protagonist. The romance scenes became tasteless after they got together; the ambiguous period was quite sweet, but their interactions after they got together felt very formulaic. But I still think the beginning is worth reading; the author is more forgiving in his second book, after all.

    This is a lighthearted and enjoyable read, with a particularly well-written farming section. It follows a quick transmigration farming storyline, and the protagonist (the main character) has Chinese ancestry and is a master at farming! I especially liked the medieval arc; it wasn't as brutal as most medieval stories. However, the romance plot was quite awkward. At the time, I thought it would have been better to write a novel without a male lead and no romantic pairing. Anyway, the romance plot in this novel probably only takes up about the size of a fingernail. I watched it a second time, and the romance scenes were quite enjoyable to savor... The fingernail scene was actually quite sweet.

    Beautiful! Thank you so much for the recommendation (and the complimentary copy)! The first time I watched it, I couldn't continue because the atmosphere in the earlier sections was so bad. This time, ignoring the preceding paragraph comments made it much more comfortable to read. (But I have to say this is the most argumentative story I've ever seen, it's over 300 chapters and there's still more...) To sum it up in one sentence, I feel this story is like a combination of Survival Game, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, and D&D. If you like this type of story, don't miss it! It's both healing and has a corresponding sense of urgency. Even if you're number one on the leaderboard during a natural disaster, you still lose a lot and feel like you can't go on. But Xiao Nan's daily life mainly consists of farming, raising livestock, and going to the market. I especially love the scenes of her browsing the market, doing business with the locals, selling agricultural products, and then browsing the market to find some trinkets. Occasionally, she'll even participate in animal (plant) judging contests (such an old farmer!). This story has a very large world-building, and the author has managed to resolve most of the foreshadowing, making each arc particularly interesting. Elf Royal Court/Dungeon/Harvest Island/Evil God However, for most of the time, the protagonist is still diligently farming, and seeing the results of their hard work is truly heartwarming. I especially loved the romance in this story; although it was a slow burn, it was incredibly delicate and nuanced. What a wonderful period of ambiguity! You can see the main characters gradually come to their senses. Although they got together late, the long period of ambiguity was wonderful, and after they finally got together, their relationship felt natural and sweet.
