   Both books are excellent. I recommend reading Ninth Special District first, followed by "Rising Star in Dragon City," which is the sequel. After the cataclysm, the world descends into chaos. Qin Yu, a young man who survived in the unplanned development zone, arrives alone in Ninth District to make a living. In this apocalyptic world, he makes a few friends by chance, and through a moment of weakness, rises to prominence in the chaotic world, beginning a legendary tale. The novel's plot is full of twists and turns, fraught with danger and suspense, keeping your heart racing. The characters are vividly portrayed; the protagonists uphold justice and courage in adversity, and the villains are not stereotypical, revealing the complexities of human nature. Follow Qin Yu's footsteps and experience the intertwining of passion, friendship, and love in this world full of wasteland aesthetics, witnessing a magnificent and legendary journey.

In the novel, Ye Cheng spares no effort to gradually reduce his sentence and eventually be released from prison, leading China's technology to a leap forward that shocks the world. Here is a recommendation: "In 'Sentenced to Death, You Only Hand Over Controlled Nuclear Fusion?', Ye Cheng single-handedly overturns the entire world's technological landscape. From a death row inmate to a national hero, he uses technologies that are 5,000 years ahead of the world, such as controlled nuclear fusion, lithography machines, and room-temperature superconducting materials, leaving other nations stunned.

    A post-apocalyptic novel with government intervention—I just finished listening to it and it's really good. For me, this is the kind of post-apocalyptic novel that suits our family's taste. I'll recommend it again! 😏😏😏😏 The next book is a personal recommendation; please ignore it if you mind. I'm shamelessly recommending it—a more traditional cultivation novel.
