    I stayed up all night reading it, and it was still very good. The main problem was that the author couldn't come up with any new plot twists, so the ending was rushed. But overall, it's a niche, hardcore survival novel by Tomato, with no system and no female lead.

    The first book is about survival in a zombie apocalypse in the first half, followed by the protagonist joining a military base to protect their country. The female lead is the main character, and the writing is truly excellent; she has the most upright female lead I've ever read, unlike some books with messy love-hate relationships or those featuring spatial abilities and selling goods. It's fantastic, and the details are handled well, such as various fish and insect infections, and nuclear power plant leaks – the author has considered everything comprehensively. The female lead contracts the virus but manages to control it, and the country has a military force composed of semi-infected individuals. The story involves survival in the early stages, followed by political maneuvering and various power conflicts; it's not an invincible story. The second book is about awakening superpowers, without a female lead. The author has very positive values, which is evident in the writing – no lewd jokes or slapstick humor, and the writing style is excellent. The world-building and ending are also quite novel and unconventional. Humans establish a base, the male lead enters an academy to fight monsters and level up, later battles against alien species, and there's also content about escaping and surviving. It's quite enjoyable. The writing is fine; you can read it with confidence. The third book, *District 13: The City Recapture Team* (I don't know why I can't add it; the image below is of the third book), is about a zombie apocalypse. The national epidemic control measures are largely underway, but densely populated megacities have fallen. After the lockdown is lifted, the protagonist joins the army to recapture the fallen cities. It not only involves reclaiming lost territory but also dealing with biotech companies and organizations trying to leak the virus into safe zones, keeping the story engaging. The modern equipment is well-described; the powered exoskeleton is the most memorable. The author has military experience, and the protagonist can mutate, somewhat like a post-apocalyptic version of the Hulk [facepalm]. The writing is excellent; you can read it with confidence.

    This book is incredibly immersive; in its world, the Soviet Union survived as a Gemini, and the protagonist is a former KGB agent (before the Great Silence). There's also a book called Fusion I: Red Ruins, which is also available on Tomato but I don't know why I can't recommend it; it's from the perspective of our militia during a nuclear war. If you don't care about update speed, both are exceptionally good books.

    Action-packed, hardcore, veteran-driven, reborn, with a stark contrast. Spanning the nation's perspective, starting with special recruitment and later focusing on patriotism, it also boasts a global perspective with war scenes across the globe. It's thrilling, but definitely not mindless. I'm a retired veteran myself, so I won't write a mess.
