Ice Age: I Don't Take in Useless Women

The author uses events to drive the story, rather than rambling on about how amazing the story is through the characters' dialogue. He's a good storyteller, and even better, his writing is excellent. I've added all his books to my bookshelf. Keep it up, author! 👍

The writing style is quite good. While some of the setup in the beginning is a bit lengthy, it doesn't feel rambling. From national events to everyday life, the reader feels a strong sense of immersion, making the whole story feel very realistic. Even a fruit vendor can live a comfortable life in the apocalypse. Around chapters 50 or 60, the protagonist accepts a woman's advances, which initially seems like a bad sign. However, it turns out not to be; there's even a small plot twist.

Don't be fooled by the low rating on the surface. This book has a unique and ingenious concept, a thrilling plot, and delicate and realistic descriptions of language, actions, expressions, and psychology. It is a masterpiece that deserves at least a 9 out of 10! Those who gave this book four stars or less are all readers who enjoy mindless, lighthearted stories, without exception.

Having read hundreds of post-apocalyptic novels, this is the first one I've encountered that presents the most compelling and realistic post-apocalyptic national response measures. It doesn't involve mindless hoarding of supplies, unlike other post-apocalyptic novels where chaos ensues after only a day or two, making it seem as if the country no longer exists.

The pacing is slower compared to similar novels, but I found it quite enjoyable and relaxing. However, the trade-off might be the sacrifice of some tense and less exciting plot points, which is understandable given it's the author's first time. The only slight drawback I felt was the character development.

This is a high-quality post-apocalyptic novel worth reading. The part about the period before the apocalypse is excellent. It describes how the richest man planned his refuge and dealt with various situations. The writing is very exciting, logical, and without any major flaws.

It definitely deserves a 9.5 Rating. The only downside might be the large amount of setup in the beginning (since there are only about two hundred chapters left), but the writing is really good, the immersion is very strong, it's completely from the perspective of an ordinary person, and the dialogue is neither awkward nor unrealistic.

It's good; finally, it's not like the main character is all-powerful and surrounded by women trying to flirt with him, while all the other young male characters are villains.

The plot is pretty good, but the character development becomes a bit abrupt later on. However, this doesn't significantly affect the overall viewing experience, as the main characters have less screen time in the early and later parts. It's a classic case of a rushed ending, but it doesn't have too many major flaws. It's worth reading if you're looking for something to read. P. S.

The author has written a detailed, engaging, and realistic storyline before the apocalypse, unlike other works that jump straight to the end of the world without explaining how it actually happens. This author is excellent.
