   The first book is new, so the ratings aren't up yet. It's a super novel zombie novel, a hilarious blend of cultivation, a comedic search for family, and post-apocalyptic strolls. The female protagonist, returning from the world of cultivation, finds her original world overrun by zombies. While others rely on superpowers to survive the apocalypse, she carries an alchemy furnace in her left hand, cooking snail-flavored fasting pills, and in her right hand, she holds up talismans to make hordes of zombies dance to "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend." The second book, "Sheng An," uses the power of the state to forcefully suppress those self-righteous "chosen ones," incorporating them into the organization to prepare for the apocalypse together! "My name is Sheng An, Sheng as in prosperous times, An as in peace and prosperity. I only wish for this prosperous times, for peace and prosperity, for thousands of years, for favorable weather and abundant harvests."

   I'd like to recommend a great book that might have been missed because of its "slow pacing." It features a dual narrative. There are no heroes in the story, only a college student hiding in his dorm room. *Neon: The Walking Dead* has no awakening, no system, no rebirth; it's a realistic post-apocalyptic novel. If you enjoy the oppressive despair of a blood-red cross and the subtle, chilling foreshadowing and resolution, you can start directly from Chapter 31 of the city arc without affecting your understanding of the main plot. If you want to experience the complete process of sliding from everyday life into hell, start from Chapter 1—you won't regret it.

    These four books are ones I selected after reading many post-apocalyptic novels, arranged in my favorite order. The first one features a rather eccentric male protagonist. He doesn't care about anything and even wants to end it all early on, but to protect the female lead's growth, he ultimately takes his little princess to fulfill her wishes and go to their desired destination, perishing together with his father and all those disloyal to her. "So from now on, don't abandon your beliefs for anyone unworthy." "Don't forget your original intentions because of any betrayal, and don't forget me because of..." "You are the best, and you always deserve the best." "The dark clouds will disperse, the sun will rise... Look out the window, spring is already here." "Perhaps this world is fake, and I am fake too, but loving you is real." "If there truly are gods in this world, then I pray that my darling will always be happy and joyful~" The second book, in my opinion, is on par with the first. The male protagonist strives to climb to the top solely to secure a way out for the female protagonist, since she is a half-infected individual and considered an outcast by others. However, the female protagonist didn't understand the male protagonist at the time and unilaterally distanced herself from him. Fortunately, she later came to understand him, and I really liked the ending, even though it didn't explicitly state that they were together. The third book is a post-apocalyptic novel that I found very novel, incorporating many characters from mythology, such as Nezha and Jumang.

    *The Last Cockroach*: An Epic of Survival for the Underdog. As a benchmark of realistic post-apocalyptic fiction, this 6-million-word novel features no divine intervention, only the protagonist Zhang Xiaoqiang's tenacious, cockroach-like struggle for survival. He is cowardly, lustful, and mercenary, willing to fight zombies for food and disregard all dignity for a chance to live, yet he leads a group of the elderly, weak, and disabled as they scavenge for food in a sea of ​​corpses and navigate the treacherous world of human nature. The book's detailed depictions of finding food, filtering water, and treating injuries are extremely realistic, as if teaching you how to survive in the apocalypse step-by-step; the struggle between selfishness and mutual assistance, betrayal and perseverance imbues the word "survive" with a heavy weight.

    Books one and two focus on the best friend relationship, which I personally found quite good. Books three, four, and five lean more towards romance, featuring beautiful and strong female protagonists who are unaware of their own strength. Books six and seven involve escaping from a school campus, which will resonate with students. These are some of my recent favorite post-apocalyptic novels, so I'm sharing them! [Sending hearts]
