A General Introduction to the Apocalypse 末日概论
Please read the preface before starting this book! This is not an ordinary novel. It is deeply depressing and places extreme emphasis on detail. It is practical and hardcore. Please decide whether to continue based on your own interests and priorities, so you can save your precious time. This book is divided into two parts, “An Introduction to the Apocalypse” and “Advanced Studies of the Apocalypse.” The first focuses on material matters, objective facts, and details, while the second explores h

Wildflowers Bloom Anew in Spring 野草闲花逢春生
This is a zombie-apocalypse novel I wrote on a whim, using what I think is a down-to-earth style. The story centers on the successive appearance of zombies, spirits, demons, and fox spirits, alongside the protagonists' comedic everyday lives. The protagonist is named after a gangster I used to really like, so I borrowed his name. However, the protagonist won't appear until somewhat later. This is my first time writing, and I hope you enjoy it.

Fallen Star: The Apocalypse 末世之坠星
Everyone wonders whether the protagonist can survive in a world of zombies without mutating or gaining supernatural abilities. In this book, he takes an ordinary yet bloody path, growing from an immature youth into a ruthless ruler. The story moves slowly and feels very realistic. Sci-fi elements will be added sparingly later on, but there won't be any in the early chapters!
