   Here are a few recommended post-apocalyptic novels without reincarnation or systems. * **Apocalypse Virus S:** The plot is fast-paced, very realistic in the early stages, with few jarring elements, well-developed characters, and an engaging storyline. The later parts are subjective. * **Zombie Rise in School:** Character development is excellent, the protagonist is a bit like Cao Xueqin, the overall plot is full of twists and turns, insightful analysis of human nature, well-handled emotions, and rich in detail. * **Apocalypse: Blood and Fire Song:** The writing style is slightly immature for a new author, but the plot is fast-paced. The opening details the ordinary people facing the apocalypse, and the entire apocalyptic setting unfolds with the plot, all with good detail. Currently, there is no female lead; looking forward to the later parts. * **Escape from the Corpse Maw:** The author's second book, realistic style with no superpowers, vividly depicting human nature and the struggles of ordinary people to survive, creating a strong sense of immersion. The author has a slightly artistic flair. Apocalypse: Awakening from the Start: A multi-protagonist story with well-developed relationships between roommates, a humorous tone, and standard supernatural awakenings. The corpse control technique is a point of contention, reminding me of a fantasy novel called "The Netherworld Immortal Path," where corpses regain consciousness. The early stages are quite exciting, but the increased number of female characters, seemingly to balance the brotherly relationship, is a drawback.

    Highly recommend this one! It starts on a school campus, features zombies who retain their intelligence, but has no superpowers or rebirth cheat codes! The male lead is single, doesn't mess around, and seriously leads his team to survive. It's a typical survival story, [smirk] and it's a short, completed story that's very satisfying! 🐶

    This is a post-apocalyptic novel, so there are no zombies yet. It's the kind where the weather gets really bad and animals mutate [I get it]. The humans have superpowers. There's no male lead, only a female lead and her two incredibly powerful cats [think about it]. The author said this book will only have followers [eating popcorn]. It's not finished yet; so far, there's only one loyal follower [licking screen].

    My most immediate impression of this book is that it's not overly sentimental, though that changes somewhat later. Unlike some works where characters are practically invincible, this one doesn't kill off anyone who's on your side. There are characters close to the protagonist, and there are those who die. Enough said, you can read it yourself; if you don't like it, you can drop it. Character traits: Intelligent, not a saint.

    Reader note

    This is the most realistic post-apocalyptic novel I've read recently. It takes a different perspective from traditional post-apocalyptic stories; it's not a wish-fulfillment novel, but rather very profound! It's packed with foreshadowing, and everyone is treated equally in this apocalyptic world, regardless of their background. There are no superpowers or cheat codes as some might imagine; we are just ordinary humans. It's a survival and growth-oriented post-apocalyptic novel, with warmth and a touch of romanticism. A virus sweeps the globe, turning humanity into bloodthirsty zombies and monsters. After everything collapses, what remains is a deeper, more insidious conspiracy and a turbulent power struggle.
