To Read Novels: Poor to Rich, Farming Pt. 1

List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also usually slice of life.

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. And the incompleted ones at the back. Recommendations are very welcome!

Comedy Drama Fantasy Shounen Ai

Translated 54/221. Does not have poor to rich tag but seems focus on running a supermarket.... more>>

"This novel is surprisingly... deep? If you've read the author's other works, you'll know what I mean. It's oddly purposeful. The author packs a lot of content in a bite-size novel (in my eyes, at least). Most of it is in explaining the world and the people living in said world. For a world-building addict like myself, this was just perfect XD! In terms of plot and conflicts, this novel can't be said to be very good. At least, it's not very exciting. There isn't much tension either. But the author has a way with their words, making you sink deeper and deeper into their world. Here, there are multiple worlds explored, which makes it even better. Each instance is very unique. The MC doesn't really have a purpose or BIG goal anywhere. It's more about experiencing the different planes that he travels and growing up as a supermarket boss lolol.

SUMMARY: The MC has been obsessed with running his own supermarket for years. When it finally happens, he's thrown off by a sudden plane jump that brings him to a world where people are fleeing from famine. He doesn't really realize this at first. He traveled with his supermarket building and there's a newly installed system in it, but it doesn't tell him what he should do next. It's just there. Anyway, he doesn't know what to expect from this strange situation, and he's not willing to risk his life for the sake of his curiosity.

Fortunately, he's pretty lucky. A mother and daughter pair came knocking on his door, and through them, he was able to find out more about the world. It's also due to them that he figured out what role to play! That is, the BIG BOSS. In a world of chaos, he can only pretend to be a master immortal in order to survive with his weak body and wealth (i.e., the stock in the supermarket). Eventually, he unlocks some new features in the system that tells him what to do next. It's all about figuring things out bit by bit, gathering new people around him, and slowly building up momentum until he finishes what the system wants him to do and is able to travel to the next world.

(As for the ML, his name is Zou Ming, he was hired by the FL from the system database and he helps the MC a lot in the early stage. There's a big mystery around this quiet and loyal ML, but I won't say it because it's more fun to figure it out yourself.) " ~ tr*shgeneralist

"MC is a likeable nobody, he starts from nothing and slowly becomes stronger with every new plane, he works hard and has no protagonist halo.

ML isn't the stereotypical cold CEO kind of character, he's somewhat expressionless but emotional in his own way, his personality fits his background perfectly.

There are many great side characters, even better, many great female side characters, all with their own story and fully flashed out personality.

The different planes are interesting and have solid worldbuilding, you can see that the writer put a lot of care and thoughts into each of them.

So far all of them are very serious, no matter how light-hearted the description sounds, this novel deals with heavy topics, like famine, death and suffering, mu*der, trafficking, etc., and some of the violence is graphic – but never tasteless or used as a shocker.

A few chapters are full of social commentary, negative and positive, all of it carefully thought out and presented in an organic way.

There's no nationalism or patriotism at all, the writer is very clear about downsides and advantages, right and wrong.

Of course, there's a mystery around MC and ML, so I won't go over the romantic aspects.

You have to find out by yourself.

I highly recommend it to everyone who likes concepts like Doctor Who, but more mature, sometimes genuinely tragic stories, and gay romance." ~ wintercreeper <<less

#94Sigrid

54 Chapters Every 41 Day(s) 1863 Readers 6 Reviews 01-04-2024

Action Fantasy Romance Slice of Life

Translated 54/163. Has poor to rich tag.... more>>

Her whole life, Sigrid lived as an imperial knight, a loyal servant, and a faithful subject. However, her loyalty was rewarded with disgrace, dishonor, false accusation, and a guillotine.

“If I came back,” she vowed, “… I’m not going to live a life like that again!”

Executed at the guillotine for assassinating the Crown Prince, Sigrid somehow opened her eyes again… and found herself five years before the day of her execution.

Once upon a time, Sigrid had lived an immaculate and principled life. However, now that she was given a second chance, she knew better.

"Slow paced but really good. The MC's personality doesn't just do a 180, you can see her struggling to change and she's still deeply affected by the events of her first life." ~ blahblah123

"I really like it! It's not spectacular or anything like that, but I gave it a 5 star because I can tell that I'm going to like it more the further we get into the story.

Sigrid's (MC) rebirth back to 5 years felt really realistic. It's not one of those novels where the MC immediately accepts the time skip/transmigration. She really was bewildered, and I can tell that she will be struggling with her past life beliefs and this current timeline throughout the novel. I usually like the fast paced novels where MC's move onto revenge and accept their situation quickly, but slow burn is nice once in awhile, and this one does a good job at that.

So far there is not an ounce of romance, which makes sense because she's still definitely adapting. It looks like it'll be awhile before the ML is introduced, but I saw the second cover and it looks like he has black hair with one blue eye and one red eye. He's pretty hot haha

I also really love how real the characters feel. Sigrid in her past life was a very uptight knight, but her change in this timeline actually makes sense because she didn't become a whole new person immediately. Like I said, she struggles to accept her situation, and she struggles with her past beliefs, knowing that they are probably not right. She'll have great character development, and I'm pretty excited for that. The other characters are pretty good too." ~ jsplat <<less

Oh my goshhhh!! I stopped reading for a while since was in a slump, having ran out of novels to read, then came this marvelous list with detailed reviews!!! Sometimes it's really hard to judge a novel with the synopsis alone since they can be very vague, while others have nothing to do with the story at all. I also want to know the general undertones of the story before proceeding in order to adjust my mood. You don't know how thankful I am
