Sweet and Satisfying Reads
Apocalypse, interplane, interstellar, and quick transmigration stories. One main couple or no romance. I'm not very good with angst, so I don't really like books with too many romantic rivals. The stories I read tend to have fewer relationship complications. I've recommended over 50 books, so I'm listing a few more here. [Spirit Soul Guide] is written in first person. The male and female leads have a great relationship. The only odd thing is that everyone gets along way, way, way too well... But

This woman is so selfish. The person who killed her mother is right in front of her, and instead of seeking revenge, she takes so many advantages from the Ruthless Swordsman. The moment he asks her for help, she acts like a monster. She's really annoying.
If he was strong in his past life, he'll be even stronger in this one. Well then, show us how strong he is! Every time there's an important plot point, the male lead comes to the rescue. His attempts to punish the scumbags are half-hearted, and the system is practically useless. Sigh. Since the novel is titled "The Great Merchant of the Apocalypse," let's spend a little more time discussing the title.
Halfway through the series, the female lead's personality was indeed unlikable, and the male lead's attraction to her was inexplicable. Was it initially a love for her food? Then her beauty? And finally, a liking for being tormented? Are all men just like that, chasing after the ones they dislike most? Or is it because the female lead grew up in a single-parent family and has personality flaws?
It seems the interdimensional trading is pointless; it's just for acquiring a male lead, which is a bit inexplicable.
It feels like the system exists solely to artificially create a male lead. At the beginning, he's said to be wearing a black cloak at the trading market, obscuring his face. I don't understand why the male lead suddenly becomes so helpful to the female lead—just because her roasted pig brains are delicious? As a merchant and the female lead's benefactor, the male lead continues to help her even after she breaks the contract. It's exhausting…
I don't really understand why so many post-apocalyptic heroines collect so much food—enough to last several lifetimes! They even have farms to grow crops and can trade across dimensions. What's the point of collecting so much? They don't have tens of thousands of people to feed, and they're not naive enough to give alms to everyone they meet. Why hoard so much stuff?
I've noticed that most novels about interdimensional trading systems are from several years ago. Why isn't this genre popular anymore? Sigh.
Disappointment
Honestly, the initial premise of the story is quite good, setting it apart from typical post-apocalyptic novels. If written well, it will definitely garner a large readership. Unfortunately, the author's writing became increasingly formulaic, completely ruining such a good structure. The female protagonist is on an irreversible path of "becoming a saint," and there's no turning back.
Seriously? The female lead just misappropriated someone else's share of the profits to buy a cultivation technique without even consulting them. She probably just took advantage of their kindness and easygoing nature... Didn't you read the rest? This guy looks like the male lead? He gave her an extremely valuable seed after just one meeting, and then started showering her with attention in various ways, without any foreshadowing. The female lead's halo is so useful, so incredibly useful.
I'd like to ask, where exactly is the "cunning" in "unscrupulous merchant"? The title and content clearly don't match. 😒
