Ruthlessness is undeniable; anyone who dares to point a finger at the female pig might have their hand chopped off, and anyone who dares to morally blackmail her might be beheaded. However, the female pig's ruthlessness doesn't stem from a cruel personality—she's kind-hearted—but rather from adhering to the jungle mentality expected in a post-apocalyptic world!

    I recommend two post-apocalyptic novels. The first one features a protagonist who is a zombie, constantly evolving by devouring flesh and crystal cores. The plot is quite intriguing and is a rare gem among Tomato's works. The second novel's protagonist transmigrates to multiple worlds to open a shop, this time arriving in a post-apocalyptic world. This book is an ensemble piece, with each story and character being quite good, making it worth reading.

    💐💐A post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel with no system, no rebirth, no younger sister, and no harem [Got it] The story progresses reasonably, with constant plot twists and well-developed characters. I really like the main character. You won't be able to stop reading once you start and you'll want more.

    This protagonist is remarkably decisive. When her old classmate revealed her true colors and went to destroy the world, she didn't hesitate at all, immediately drawing her sword to kill the enemy. When her parents and relatives tried to stop her, unaware that it was all an act for the other party, she was angered by her parents and wanted to prioritize righteousness over family before slaying the evil god and demons. After realizing that this was a charade to divert the other party's attention and expose more of their flaws, she didn't immediately blame her parents and relatives, but immediately threw herself into battle.
