   This is a relatively rare post-apocalyptic ensemble novel with very detailed character portrayals and a well-designed plot. The battle scenes aren't glossed over but have a complete combat logic; the methods for crafting items are realistic, and the items found have real-world prototypes without being heavily modified. The biggest drawback is also obvious: it's incredibly slow-paced. To achieve the aforementioned effects, the author wrote thirty chapters in five days and still wasn't finished, and he only updates 4000 words per day. Although the title includes a system, the system's presence is absurdly weak.

    The phrase "Cannot be killed, only suppressed" establishes the premise. The Ancient Starving Corpse isn't an ordinary monster; it's something that can molt and continue growing. The left arm isn't a simple seal; it's a prison. Sealing a monster inside the protagonist and making him a part-time prison guard—I'm impressed by that idea.

    Except for the fourth book, the others have no superpowers or systems, are not wish-fulfillment stories, but rather focus on growth and realism. The third, fifth, and sixth books feature female protagonists but do not have a harem. The first and second books are by the same author. The ratings are also quite high; those who like realistic and not mindless stories might want to give them a try.
