Synopsis

Apocalypse + underdog's rise + awakened powers + becoming king of the apocalypse

Underdog Lin San vs. an innocent, intelligent female zombie

Lin San, an overworked wage slave who has lost his job, is worrying about how he'll make ends meet when the apocalypse breaks out!

Just when Lin San thinks he's safe after reaching a shelter, he gets experimented on and awakens the complete version of the X-virus.

He thinks that awakening the complete X-virus will let him slaughter his way through the apocalypse, but then he discovers, to his dismay, that his powers keep letting him down!

Underdog Lin San overcomes one challenge after another, gathers survivors, joins the army, and becomes a regional overlord.

(This is a slow-burn story. If you're looking for nonstop wish fulfillment, this isn't for you!)

Natural Disaster Apocalypse, Stockpiling, Staying Home, Self-Interest, No Romance

Ideally, the protagonist should be very cold toward others. I don’t want someone who says they won’t be a pushover and will be ruthless, but then keeps helping people at every turn.

A Lone-Wolf Main Character Focused on Growing Stronger

I'm really out of books to read. Cultivation, apocalypse, arrival, reborn, technology: anything works.

Realistic Apocalypse Survival Stories

No hoarding supplies, no hoarding supplies, no hoarding supplies, this is important enough to say three times. No storage space, no rebirth, no building a shelter, no supernatural powers, pure natural disaster, no zombies, no saintly behavior, sound logic, and no characters suddenly becoming idiots.

Ice Princesses, An Extreme-Cold Apocalypse, Stylish, Taciturn, and Aloof

Roleplay or fanfiction is fine, but don't change the characters' personalities!!! Transmigration or a System is fine. Survival or exploration in an apocalyptic ice age. Overpowered, no CP!!! Don't recommend random books. If nothing fits, don't recommend anything!!! I'll curse you out. I hate it when people recommend something just because they think it's good.

Reborn in the Apocalypse, Ruthless and Decisive

I’ve read a lot of post-apocalyptic rebirth novels lately. Some are really good, but in most of them, even after being reborn, the protagonist acts like an idiot, agonizing forever over killing a zombie and being ridiculously self-righteous. Please don’t recommend anything like that. I can’t stand it.
