   I'd recommend my own book. It features a single female lead with no romantic pairing. She has ice-attribute superpowers and is a slender, mature woman. There is a romantic subplot, but it won't affect the plot. She's decisive and ruthless, not a saint, and the villain isn't stupid. She initially sides with humanity but later becomes a zombie and a villain. The early plot includes some actions that set the stage for her later villainous role. It's not a post-apocalyptic story disguised as romance; it's purely a post-apocalyptic narrative. It's a slow-burn story, so you'll have to read it slowly. I like to write in a more nuanced way.

    Reader note

    "The Greenest Uncle on Earth in the Apocalypse" is a dark and realistic novel depicting the twisted and dark side of humanity under extreme circumstances. The protagonist endures countless hardships, rising from the very bottom of society. His story is filled with passion, ruthlessness, and bloodshed. At the beginning of the novel, before the disaster, the protagonist is a member of the lowest rungs of society, his poverty and helplessness vividly portrayed, much like his marriage and romantic life, filled with pain and helplessness. (Readers should be patient with the first fifteen chapters, as they contain many exciting details; the bloody apocalyptic scenes begin in chapter fifteen.) After the disaster strikes, the protagonist's daughter tragically dies, and the woman he deeply loves endures various humiliations to help him escape the abyss. All of this causes the protagonist to completely erupt, becoming ruthless and unscrupulous, solely to protect his beliefs. The plot is tense and exciting, full of suspense and conflict. The fate of each character is unknown, keeping the reader on the edge of their seats and compelling them to continue reading. This work depicts a realistic post-apocalyptic world, allowing viewers to experience darkness and cruelty while also witnessing the brilliance of humanity and hope. [Heart][Heart][Heart]

    1. The protagonist is an ordinary high school student, without a system or superpowers, purely focused on survival. It emphasizes realism and vividly recreates the most authentic post-apocalyptic survival, with his intelligence consistently high! [Almost crying] 2. The story unfolds on campus, featuring a heterosexual romance/couple pairing. It's sometimes sweet and sometimes bittersweet, sometimes exhilarating! The author's portrayal of emotions is very delicate; besides being exciting and thrilling, it's also quite tear-jerking. A promising book. 3. Ebola virus; those interested in viruses should check it out. 4. The story begins at school, later involving a fierce battle with gangsters in Jun's team. Worth reading; decisive and ruthless, not a saint.
