    My first favorite book is the one with romantic aesthetics and beautiful writing. I absolutely love it. There are no major flaws, no BL elements, and the female lead is strong, not a saint. She's a character who grows and matures. (A little spoiler: there might be a seemingly saintly act at the beginning, but it's handled very decisively later.) The male lead's flirting is perfectly timed. It used to be a 9.6, So it's definitely a good read. The second book is also a strong pairing. The female lead is a zombie king, and everyone in the party is intelligent. The characters don't scheme or plot because of love; their values ​​are upright. The writing is good, and the female lead is very charming in her pursuit of the male lead. There are two angsty chapters at the end, but it's mostly sweet. The third book is also a strong pairing. The female lead is a cat demon, and the male lead is a zombie king. The male lead is very doting, and the sweetness is reassuring. There are a few angsty parts, but not many. The plot is quite novel, so it's worth checking out.

    The first book, let me just say everyone who's read it calls it a Top 10! It's a very exciting and action-packed ensemble piece about saving the world, with a happy ending. The second book, which I finished last year, is a multi-harem novel where the female lead is reborn with a system to take revenge and stockpile goods. She encounters different men along the way, with no fixed male lead—a satisfying harem story! The third book involves escaping school in the early stages and later heading to a final safe haven to protect their homeland (a national base). Along the way, she encounters different bases, experiences various hardships, and demonstrates humanity. Ultimately, it's a very exciting story about national righteousness and saving the world. It's a good read, but the ending is an Omega, quite open-ended, not a happy ending, but rather a story with infinite possibilities for improvement. Both the male and female leads are very clear-headed. I think this novel is great at portraying humanity; it's quite realistic, without fixed good or bad characters, only different perspectives. Overall, I highly recommend it. The fourth book, which I found very novel at first, features a female zombie who actually eats human flesh. It gets a bit abstract later on, so I won't spoil it, but it's a really novel theme. The ending isn't finished yet, but the general direction is that everything starts over, and she goes back to the last few days before the apocalypse to prevent it from happening. I recently added the 5th and 6th books to my collection, and I haven't read much of them yet. The 5th book is about a female protagonist who is "reborn" and wants to take revenge so she can live off her stockpiled goods. But it turns out that everything is interconnected, and what she knows is only the tip of the iceberg. To take revenge completely, she needs to eliminate all traces of the enemy. At least, what I've seen so far is still ongoing. The sixth book is about a national examiner with precognitive abilities who built three large national bases in three stable locations in advance. He only notified the citizens a few minutes before the apocalypse. The female protagonist happened to see the message, went straight home, and prepared a lot of food with some skepticism. She suddenly discovered that she had an independent space. She prepared a lot of food for several days and nights, but she still turned into a zombie along with the first wave of people. However, she had her own consciousness and did not have the tendency to attack people. She was so angry that she fainted several times. A few days later, she was found by the male protagonist, who was a soldier, while searching the neighborhood. He took her back to the base and the country recognized her as a zombie-like mutant. She then joined the male protagonist's team, took on missions, went out for rescue, returned to the base, and received the country's reward. She was officially a member of the government. It's quite novel and interesting for me. Anyway, I'm reading it now.
