    This book is really good; the title doesn't do it justice. It depicts the behavior of various people in the apocalypse, and the survival mode is very reasonable. It feels like ordinary people can survive in this world. There are also many interesting settings, such as magic. The female lead doesn't have any special abilities. Some parts are quite funny. It's a very promising slow-burn novel. Everyone should add it to their bookshelf and stock up on it.
