Game Elements, Hardworking MC, Town Building, Survival Game
Yun Ling was invited to attend the public beta test of "Apocalypse Calamity." In the end, she successfully survived a hundred days, and obtained the "Lord Token", "Life Skill Level Retention" and "S Rank Skill" as rewards.
The beta ended, and she waited with anticipation for the opening of the game. But then the world became the game... ...
Yun — life skill player — Ling thought, what could she do? Continue to drag out her ignoble existence.
Intermediate Fishing, Intermediate Foraging, Advanced Sewing, Advanced Cooking. So many life skills in hand. She wanted to hoard grain, produce, recruit troops, build, and turn her land into an indestructible steel fort.
Adding this to my faves!!! Looove it!! We get a heroine that is genuinely dense, romance is very low-key.
Our MC is a beta player. After surviving for 100 days in the game, she gets System Rewards. She chose to keep her skills plus a 'Lord Token' for having her own territory, then she waited for the launch of the official game. On the date of the game launch, the whole world turned into the game she played beta for, and her skills and 'Lord Token' was with her.
So our MC builds her camp, while diligently levelling up and hoarding supplies. When she meets players, she would offer them game advice or tell them about her territory (Camps are safezones), but she never disclosed her identity as the City Lord. Then we get different POVs of players trying to survive, and the 'trials' that the game will give them every season such as super high temperature, super cold temperature, drought, locusts, being besieged by monsters etc.
The game lasted for three years. After clearing the game, #SPOILER #SPOILER #SPOILER, everything went back to BEFORE the game launch and everyone forgot what happened, but based on their contribution in the game clearance, they would get a 'Luck Halo'. Of course, our MC's contribution is #1, she meets ML again in the last chapter.

On our ML, our ML is also a beta survivor like MC. He decided to keep his high level skills and equipment in the reward. He meets MC early during the 'apocalypse' and decided to move into her camp since he knows her identity as 'City Lord'. The advantage of a player being City Lord is that she gets to choose which shops/buildings to build in her territory, unlike System territories where the shops/features are completely randomized. Anyways, him and MC help each other and he sllllooowwwllllyyy (yup, he's also slow) fell for our MC. The problem is that our MC is busy levelling up/taking care of her territory/hoarding supplies etc. to fall inlove. Lol. She completely thought that ML was treating her like an NPC, brushing her favorability XD XD XD
Checked author-sama's other works and it seems that she likes this genre. Going to check out her other works too!!
Overall, this is very nice. MC is playing a Town Building game while the rest are playing survival games XD It kinda has a 'slow life' vibe during the apocalypse.
Nearest reco, both BL: The Earth is Online, the world is also turned into 'game' and was reset after the game clearance. There's also the The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse. I just feel like the two MC's have somewhat similar vibes XD

The Ancient One
The Alteric Empire was vast and powerful. Their borders reached to all coasts of the continent, and their banner swayed in the wind of every town. Their knowledge on magic was second to none, and their firm grasp of combat trained highly skilled warriors. Their enemies trembled at their approach, and their friends feasted their arrival. The Orcs, and the Dwarves, were conquered, and given equal rights as their Human Overlords. For thousands of years they reigned supreme, and peace and prosperity was abundant throughout the continent. The arrival of the Elves shattered that. Led by their so called "Great One", they invaded the empire. Elves fell in droves, hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands, but the empire lost ground. In a last attempt to defeat the Elves, the Crown Prince was sealed away, with the hope that one day he would be awoken in an time where the Elves can be stopped. Without the prince, the Elves lost less and less soldiers with each attack, until the Empire crumbled. After thousands of years of occupation, Humanity is no more. There are only elves, orcs, and dwarves, and humans have been forgotten by most. Hundreds of thousands of years later, a young elf will stumble across an ancient secret, and the Elven Empire will shake in it foundations. For the Ancient Being awakes, and he brings doom.

A Warrior's Love (BL)
"Your mind is dark, your eyes are dull, your life is bleaker than feces, and your heart is covered in ash." She removed one hand to keep her veils on her head as the topmost shawl slipped down her neck. She continued to speak, "Your blood is cold. If you remain this way, you will die before you can find your love." The Krasean lowered his veil, revealing his face to us. He tipped his head upward so I can see his honey coloured eyes that were duller than his peoples'. Black eyeliner outlined the rim of his eyes, drawing attention to his enchanting eyes. "Whoever your lover is, they are your other half. You will endure hardships and pain because of them. You will also make them feel the same." She looked conflicted like she did not know whether to tell me this was good or bad. "In their eyes, you are the evilest and the godliest. How contradicting this is!" "Did you slap me?" I held the helmet between the pit of my elbow and my waist. One hand slowly reached up to rub my numb cheek. It has been forever since someone last slapped me. Now, no one who knew my identity would dare to hit me directly. "The blood coursing through your veins, it's hot and dangerous. You cannot be tamed easily and this may be the cause of your downfall." A strange grimace graced her wrinkled face. I swear to the gods she is ageing each second! "I see your fall. Someone with too much power automatically becomes a threat. You're no longer seen as an ally, but a monster."
