I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!
After transmigrating into a book he had just finished reading, Eric found himself cast as the villainous cannon fodder.
The original owner of the body was secretly and wholeheartedly in love with Max, the tribe's strongest warrior, but Max and Michael had grown up together and gradually developed feelings for each other.
The original owner tried every means to obstruct them, was eventually exiled by the tribe, and died a miserable death from hunger and cold that winter.
Many races existed on this continent, and he was not even human.
Eric looked at the piece of grilled meat before him, burnt black as charcoal, and a handful of beans so hard they felt like they could chip his teeth. He looked up at the thatched roof that leaked rain in the summer and let snow through in the winter. Behind him, a small lion cub was wailing for food.
Oh, and this little lion cub was also the story's devoted second male lead.
The first step was to improve his life.
What, the beastmen do not know how to farm?
No problem, they can learn. Then they would not have to starve during the winter.
Thatched huts, mud houses, and tents could all be replaced! The arrogant Elf race had a strong affinity for plants, which was perfect for farming, and the Dragon race could breathe fire, which was perfect for firing bricks!
Humans called the Fantasy Dream Continent a cursed land. Later, a wandering poet would tell tales of the Snow Wolf Tribe who lived there, possessing all sorts of delicacies and fine, home-brewed wine whose aroma could travel for ten miles, leaving a rich aftertaste.
Once the rumor spread, countless adventuring parties and mercenaries felt compelled to explore the land, even at the risk of being beaten half to death.
Eric utilized the advantages of his bloodline, diligently farming and building infrastructure, leading the tribe toward a better life.
It was just that one day he would pick up a prince of the Human race, and the next, a prince of the Elf race. With a prince of the Beastman Kingdom already in his house, Eric was at his wit's end.
Perhaps I should just build a nation for all of you!
And another thing, you, the main male lead, stop hovering around me!

My guess is that the author originally wrote this in Vietnamese and then translated it to English themself - there are points where the characters' Viet names pop up.
Shou MC: Eric | Gong ML: Max
Setting: Prehistoric Fantasy
The story follows the MC who transmigrates into a snow wolf beastman - prehistoric/tribal style setting. The MC introduces various innovations to improve the lives of his tribe. It's also a fantasy setting because there are dwarves, humans, elves, dragons and other magical beasts lol.
Let me first say, reading "Eric" and "Max" at first was really disorientating lol. I don't know why the author chose these English names. The MC introduces various Vietnamese dishes, which was a nice change of pace. The "Vietnamese"-ness of the story, in contrast to Chinese BL, also showed through in other ways, e.g. in the MC's stance against colonialism lol.
Though I'm still salty (hah) that the MC decided to make soy sauce before making fish sauce!! In fact, there was no multi-chapter exposition of making fish sauce, unlike soy sauce!!!
It was very addictive to read as the MC introduced more and more things, and the Snow Wolves tribe got bigger and bigger as they accepted more people. There's also some plot threads about improving the relations between difference races.
So if you can get pass the English names, I think this is actually a great story to read. The main shame is that the story ends a bit abruptly--but at 500 chapters, I can see why the author finished quickly lol.
