Something like "Survive After Dark" or wilderness survival stories. The protagonist should have a golden finger, but shouldn't be a self-sacrificing saint. A female lead is fine, but no harem.

Looking for Good Wasteland Novels, Recent Ones Have All Been Boring
The wasteland novels people recommend are all boring. The golden fingers are way too powerful, or else the stories are about being reborn or transmigrating. Not for me. I want something about people scavenging out in the wasteland, not stories where they can't even make the main plot clear.
Overpowered Stories with Multiple Female Leads, but Not Too Harem-Like, No Miserable Plotlines, and a Slice-of-Life Focus
I want something like Detective Conan: When Toji Fushiguro Transmigrates into the World of Detective Stories. It can be fanfiction, a crossover, or any genre, but don’t force romance just for the sake of it. Ideally, the romantic development should be gradual and logical. No walking incubus, please. Fellow readers, your recommendations are welcome.

So far, it's a high-quality post-apocalyptic development story, quite good, with a steady pace and a well-structured plot. It even throws in some occasional hilarious moments! The overpowered abilities aren't outrageous either, and the story is well-rounded, with ordinary people navigating the complexities step by step – definitely deserving of five stars! Hopefully, it will continue its steady and logical development. Keep it up! 😏
I've seen the latest Shennong post, and here are my thoughts. First, the combat power system is chaotic. There are A, B, C, and D levels, as well as levels for beginner and intermediate professionals, and even a "quasi-gold" and "gold" level. I know "gold" is like an honorary title, but using "quasi-gold" to describe someone's combat power is too abstract.
I don't know why the rating is so low, but I've finished it, and so far, it's pretty good. The romance isn't as awkward as other multi-female-lead survival stories; it's very smooth. Han Hong is a good woman; even when she's consumed by jealousy, her fighting spirit doesn't falter. The protagonist's caution is also very reasonable, and there aren't any brainless villains.
This book currently has 140 chapters, and it seems pretty good. The writing style is mature, and the storyline and world-building are sound. If it maintains this level of quality and doesn't suffer from any major issues or filler content, I think the rating should be at least 8.5. Overall, I recommend it!
✨Once you open this book, you're glued to the pages! The author knows exactly how to captivate you—there's no empty preaching, no drawn-out plot; every detail feels imbued with the warmth of everyday life. The scene of the protagonist squatting at the alleyway eating an ice pop—even after I closed the book, the image of that sun-baked cobblestone street lingered in my mind.
The content is quite engaging, and although there are a few minor flaws, they don't detract from the overall quality. It's clear the author intends to write a grand and epic post-apocalyptic war story, with the protagonist growing step by step; it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. Hopefully, the author can maintain the plot's integrity and keep improving. Keep it up!
It's well-written, updating five or six chapters daily. I've read the latest chapter so far, and personally, I don't think there are any major flaws, except for the part where the widow gets jealous. I suggest reducing the romantic subplot and treating them more like mere plot devices. 😏
It's well-written, a good developmental story, with excellent prose, a good balance of detail and summary, and decent character development. The early part probably best combined post-apocalyptic technology with advanced weaponry. Hopefully, the power levels will be even better later on, and it won't easily fall apart. This is the best post-apocalyptic, high-martial-power story I've read so far.
It's good, I'm looking forward to the rest of the story. It's good that the protagonist grows steadily, without a bunch of villains coming to his door right away; they're all just small fry.
This is an excellent book, truly superb. I hope the author continues updating, and even faster! I'm looking forward to at least 50 chapters; it's too short, not enough to read. Trust me, check my profile page. I've read over 100 chapters so far, and it's still very good. Highly recommended! 😏
