    Survival? Tired of post-apocalyptic survival novels? How about island survival? The third book has a low rating but is really good [kissing emoji]. The first book isn't a pure wish-fulfillment story. It starts with survival on a deserted island, nothing at all. Although there's a system, survival supplies are mostly obtained naturally. It's a bit like Bear Grylls. With his hardcore system, he single-handedly supports four girls! Is the male lead some kind of modern-day Bear Grylls? The second book, I personally felt it was just average. I don't understand why so many people read it. If you're looking for something to read, this one is okay. The third book, highly recommended. When a tech geek meets a goddess, they initially think it's just a fleeting encounter, but a plane crash tightly binds their fates together. The plot unfolds in a strange and wonderful way.
