    This is also a post-apocalyptic novel, but it's not a zombie novel. It's one of the most normal post-apocalyptic rebirth novels I've read recently. However, it's a "power fantasy" type, with an incredibly powerful protagonist. But it's not about individual heroism; everyone in the story is strong, and they're very united. The leadership isn't like other rebirth novels where only the protagonist is smart. If you want to read a post-apocalyptic novel, I recommend it. The only downside is that it's still being serialized.

    I recommend this new book; the writing is smooth and the logic is clear.
