Transmigrate to the Apocalypse: The System Is a Bit Overpowered

Why do most post-apocalyptic stories dwell on the dark side of human nature? Because it stirs readers' emotions, and once those emotions are stirred, the story leaves a lasting impression. You just need to get the balance right.

I once read a post-apocalyptic novel written along the same lines. The first few dozen chapters were fine, but later the author may have lost control and turned it into a story that just tormented the protagonist, never letting him catch a break. I dropped it immediately.

I don't like giving villains too much page time. They can be utterly inhuman in my books, but I won't dwell on them, and I won't let them get carried away with themselves. Every time they get arrogant or cross the line, the protagonist cuts them off. I simply won't let the villains have their way. That's how I've designed the protagonist.

What is a protagonist? If he has no exceptional intelligence, no golden finger, and can't punish evil and uphold justice, then what's the point of him?

If a major villain survives from the first chapter to the end, is he really a villain? He's the protagonist!
