    (The protagonist I'm about to write about will be a villain; please don't read if you dislike this.) (No system, no invincibility, no saintly figure, no superpowers, dark apocalypse) The old order ended with the roar of the zombie horde. Humanity's hope was crushed to dust by the towering flesh and blood mother tree. On this crumbling ruin, struggle and rebirth are the only laws for all living beings. When all rules and shackles become illusions, marginalized people like me no longer need to pretend or be twisted. Under the baptism of the apocalypse, my former confusion was completely torn apart—My name is Wu Xu, and I awaken here. From now on, it is my turn to judge this world.

    The main character is a 13-year-old middle school student. Despite being labeled as a suspenseful romance, it's actually a no-romance story. The logic is clear, there are plot twists, and it's really good! I wonder what Fang Xiaoxiao will do as an adult?

    Highly recommend this one! It's a dark school novel! Everyone's a villain, and the characters all have twisted psychology. The male lead is the manipulative type, while the female lead is innocent (not kind). There's no romantic pairing, and the content is somewhat bizarre. You might want to check it out.
