I quit at around the time she encounters several trucks just collapsed against each other, all with immense amounts of things she just happens to need and doesn't have at home, and she just happens to have enough space to hold it all, but anyway.

First, through natural logic, why doesn't the MC put in gold and money to let it regenerate before the apocalypse happens? Why food? Later, she knows it's not possible, but at the beginning, when she didn't know, she didn't even test this out.

Second, once you figure out how the fridge works, you'll know it's the best to stock up on as many different items as possible. You want variety, not quantity, because even if you only buy one cherry, you can put the cherry in the first day to create another cherry, so you can have two cherries, and if you put both in the fridge, you get four cherries. You could fill the entire fridge with cherries using this if you wanted. But the fridge only has a limited number of spots, and so they're very precious. So, logically, all foods put into the fridge should be in portions for one person, for maximum efficiency. If more people happen to come, you can increase the amount of regenerated food using said method. MC ignores this fact and puts in huge amounts of staple foods, completely filling out the fridge. Why. Just why.

How does everything fit? How big is the MC's fridge? There's so many items, and it says MC bought several kilos of each. And not only the logistics; since MC filled out her fridge, if she ever takes out things from the fridge and puts items in it, the items regenerating the fridge the next day will overflow and may even break the thing in worse case scenario. MC's got to be really careful, but... she isn't. But nothing happens.

Money. It says MC got the money from her rich ex boyfriend, but she doesn't seem to care at all about him. Doesn't even have the decency to give him a text of warning, even though he's the reason she has all these supplies, and he seems like a nice guy. Novel chalks it up to her trying to avoid danger and not get involved with the original plot, but she's done so many dangerous things and gotten involved in the plot already, so it's pointless. Feels like an excuse. She's cold hearted, but not logical, so it feels like she's just mean.

Anything edible is regenerated, so why not put in other biological matter that can be used in interesting ways? Also curious at what defines 'edible' and 'non-edible'. Food containers and salt counts, but matches don't. And what would happen if you stuffed a person in there, wrapped in warm clothes, but this is an apocalypse novel, and the fridge spots are precious, so I understand we can't. But I guess I don't understand why MC doesn't put more thought into the fridge. How does it work? Why?

Lastly, if you have a fridge like this, along with so many items, natural first priority would be to keep it. You need to protect it, because it's your lifeline, and without it, you may die. There is a literal bigass fridge filled with food in her house. But MC cares a lot about survival but apparently very little about security. She buys tents and all sorts of items. If I had all that money, I would just rent a high tech, high security house to live in, in the countryside. Doesn't have to be for long. MC is a young woman, untrained, alone, in an apocalypse situation. She shouldn't think about fighting, but about hiding and keeping herself alive. Securing the house, making herself less noticeable, etc. But no, we buy weapons and shop, shop, shop.

And extra, but yeah, it's a system story, so of course we aren't told about why or how she has the system and golden finger in the first place. That's just how system stories are. Don't expect anything.

The story she read is pretty terrible. It's a harem novel which appears to be very low IQ. The protagonist is not very attractive or special but he is determined to collect women as that is how he increases his own abilities. In fact, the more children he has, the more points he has. Those points allow him to do various things such as copying items or plastic surgery for himself.

From the beginning, it's clear that he was pursuing the MC but she is having none of that. She begins to act in various ways that will prevent him from getting what he wants (such as preventing him from meeting his first "wives").

She revealed to the other people in their groups that he had money and was trying to pursue her which led to him being slowed down before he could go gather supplies.

She provided food to the two women that he had tricked in the original story. They both freaked out about that and moved so he could no longer find them.

She gathered the emergency shelter and supplies from various areas that she knew he was supposed to go to.

She orchestrated the death of one of his right-hand men (a guy who was just as scuzzy as he was).

She even prevented his meeting with one of his "wives" and his ability to benefit from the destruction of a group that had been robbing everyone else by sending the police there.

As of chapter 34, he's begun to suspect that she might be reborn as he has gone to her original home and discovered she is no longer there. This deviates from the story he knows (as he is reborn after dying the first time) as she should have been banging on his door begging for help.

This has no pairing! No pairing! No pairing!

Gotta say that thrice since it's important.

I actually wanted to pair the MC to the neighbor brother and was pretty disappointed she didn't til the end and chose to go back to the real world with her parents. ?

The appeal of hoarding stories is the quality of their hoard and how it's done. On the surface, a quantity increasing fridge sounds interesting along with a timeless/spoiless space. But MC is not smart about what she keeps, she is constantly losing space because she's replicating items she won't consume. The only good thing is that eventually all of these supplies get dumped at the New Hope town.

To be honest, I really didn't understand the whole purpose of the novel's setting. FL becomes aware that she will get transmigrated into an apocalyptic world in advance. So she learns how to stockpile her fridge and misc space before her final destination. In the new world, she has all sorts of cheat skills that can replenish her full refrigerator in 24 hours, sometimes if by 2x, 3x, or 4x. She basically stockpiles food both from her refrigerator, her mother's farm space, trading with others, stealing from others, or random skills that will double anything she takes into her space.

My main issue is that for the entire 2-3 years she is there, she's hoarding a massive amount of weapons, food, livestock, fresh vegetables, water, cars, equipment and everything you can think of. But she mostly only uses it for herself, and some for trade. So her space is continually increasing, but she doesn't really help the starving masses that much unless she gets something out of it.

Her whole existence is to just screw up the original male lead's harem gold finger plot line. Yet, she can't directly confront the ML, so she tries to influence the ML's chances at affecting those who helped the ML become the star of the novel.

In the end, she completes her mission, cleans up all her space because she basically can't keep it when she goes back to her world, and gifts it back to her main close friends.
