- 50 Laid-Back Days in Miststone Forest 雾石森林的悠哉日常 [Healing]+ [A life like Stardew Valley]+ [Slow-paced] [No cheap tricks, no melodrama. This book is for everyone who hasn't yet had the chance to truly live.] Important note: No CP, no CP! I wasn't going to spoil anything, but then I noticed Tomato had tagged this as “Ancient Romance” and “Fantasy Romance,” which left me baffled. There are men in the story, and some of them develop feelings for the heroine. Isn't that perfectly natural? But it doesn't mean they're a couple. At the age of seventy 3.4kReads6.6Score47914d adds
