   What kind of weirdo are you all, fellow readers? I just don't understand the taste of today's readers! So many books, masquerading as post-apocalyptic, featuring transmigration, cheat codes, or urban systems, are actually about cultivation and supernatural abilities! Every now and then, they're transported to other planets with all sorts of skills flying around—it's disgusting! A planetary apocalypse, a past life transmigration, a modern-day urban loser—you could activate a system, or gain a skill with an extra opportunity, and maybe even show off a bit, that's alright! You could even read it as a lighthearted read, with humor and a serious writing style that makes it readable! But seriously, it's apocalyptic, and instead of using your resources to build your own territory or lead your tribe back to its former glory, you suddenly have cultivation levels popping up, constantly reaching the Nascent Soul stage! You think you're so great? Apocalyptic, and you're giving up? You're just going to go to heaven and let the rest of us play by ourselves! Transmigration always comes with a system, that's standard. Wouldn't it be great to simply use your skills to build a kingdom or relax and enjoy life in another dimension, pretending to be weak while secretly being strong, making us laugh until we're speechless? But then, lo and behold, cultivation is back! Instead of flying to the heavens on your previous planet, you're flying to the heavens in a different place. Some books are even more disgusting, with transmigration again, starting from a low level and cultivating to the highest. And then, more transmigration, more cultivation... Heh, one book, the same old formula, three or four thousand chapters, probably not even half finished. Ignoring everything else, just transmigrating to four or five dimensions first! Dude, did you eat a combination of antidiarrheal and glycerin? Did you even get home?! "Urban Loser System," a starting blow, directly grants the ultimate skill: pretending to be weak while secretly being strong. All sorts of beauties—no, all the beauties revolve around you—finally reaching a new, high-status commercial kingdom where all the beauties are at your disposal. That's pretty good, isn't it? I believe everyone reads this kind of book for the author's humorous and witty writing style. There are just too many books with this kind of plot on the market! Good grief, here we go again. The familiar taste, the familiar formula. The Nascent Soul stage is here, the Golden Core stage is here too... Sigh! I won't comment further. In short, who can stop you from going to heaven? Books on the market are all the same, regardless of their origin, the ultimate goal is cultivation! I still don't understand why these kinds of books are so consistently popular! I can't comprehend the tastes of today's readers! Why do so many people give good reviews to fantasy novels? Because other books on the market are boring. "Godslayer," "Northern School," etc.—Regardless of the writing style, their novel concepts and unique storylines attract readers to explore! I've been reading for nearly twenty years, and I've been on Tomato Bookstore for a year or two. I want to tell you loudly that my initial intention was to read for free. I know that here, I'm judging by my reading time; those with less time who comment will get flamed. I have 900 hours of reading time, 600 books read, and having nothing to read is also lonely! If you agree with my thoughts after reading so much, give me a like! I'm exhausted after reading for over 300 months! Finally, let me recommend a book I've been following recently!

    There's no reincarnation or superpowers involved; it's a straightforward post-apocalyptic story about fighting zombies. It features a strong female lead, a main character who isn't a saint but still retains humanity. The story revolves around four sisters in their university dormitory who encounter a zombie outbreak. They struggle to survive by sticking together and supporting each other while observing the zombies and investigating the virus's connections. They discover that the zombies are not only extremely deadly, but some have even evolved intelligence. One of the zombies, named Quan Quan, really wrecked me; I cried twice in chapter 10! In short, it's a mix of humor and pathos; you'll definitely regret missing it!

    Desert Survival in the Apocalypse: The story takes place 100 years after a nuclear explosion. No Mary Sue elements, no system. While no one was watching, Jiang San quietly made a capital C with his right hand… Cai Kun, seeing this, immediately fell silent. After a long period of singing, dancing, and rapping, Cai Kun, upon encountering the capital C, looked like a wilted eggplant, utterly listless… No intelligent system, not a wish-fulfillment story. The author's background is simple; the complexities lie in society. It touches on survival, humanity, principles, and rules. I would like to ask fellow survival enthusiasts for their feedback and suggestions for improvement. No female lead, the protagonist has no cheat codes, is intelligent, and focuses on desert survival.
