The last few survivors huddle in their respective corners, barely clinging to life. What is the point of struggling to survive? Jing Lin doesn't know. She's done everything she can, but she truly doesn't know how to keep herself alive, or save the few companions she has left. This is my first work. Please be kind. A little angst?

   Reader note

   No superpowers, no system, no time travel, no rebirth, and no apocalyptic setting. There's no saintly saint, no harem, and no betrayal because everyone's dying. It's primarily from the female lead's perspective, focusing on psychology, with the protagonist suffering from PTSD and depression. The male lead only appears later in the main story, after the prologue, and their relationship shifts from coercion to cooperation. The technology is near-future, and it's slightly angsty. This is my first serious attempt at writing, so please be kind.

    Reader note

    These are all excellent post-apocalyptic novels; it's rare to find one that's both engaging and lighthearted, while also being immersive. The first book, "Delivery to Your Door," is a bit simplistic before chapter 20, but from chapter 20 onwards, it really hits the mark, showing the author's dedication. The second book, "Ninth Special Zone: Conquest," has a realistic writing style that makes you feel like you're there. The rest are all masterpieces, so I won't say much more. Some are lighthearted and humorous, others feature invincible protagonists; they're perfect for relaxing after a tiring day without being too mindless.

    🍁🍃Highly recommended!!! The author has practically included every element I could imagine that I'd love: organ mutations, physical evolution, a zombie apocalypse, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a mind prison, a soul prison, metamorphosis, and more! It's so good!! Absolutely ruthless and decisive, a true "cool" novel, truly self-centered, and unlike other novels where the protagonist's party is always full, this protagonist completely exploits his teammates for personal gain, disregarding the lives of others. He's selfish, cold-blooded, and ruthless—a truly satisfying read from beginning to end. In all my years of reading "cool" novels, I've never seen such complete selfishness, such undisguised power, and such dominance from start to finish. Highly recommended!!!

    These five books all feature the ability to summon modern armies. [Learned something new] The first one starts with a campaign in the southwest, progressing from infantry squads to army groups and war zones. It's not mindless; the characters are intelligent. [Eating popcorn] The second one has a protagonist with a somewhat aloof personality, but the development is rapid. Starting with the establishment of a military region in the south, it moves north to reclaim lost territory, with many scenes of fighting enemy forces. [Eating popcorn] The third one dares to use real-world army and place names, and the male protagonist is more like a soldier who cares about the people. It starts by reclaiming lost territory in the northwest, making it very relatable. [Salute] The fourth one has the protagonist's ability to summon armies from multiple countries. At the beginning, he summons the US military (purely foreign troops, unlike the Shadow Force where foreign equipment is used by their own people). Under the name of the UN forces, they fight against zombies alongside the Chinese forces. Because it's the US military, certain plot points are handled decisively, and of course, there are no instances of the protagonist's army oppressing civilians. [Smirking]
