    The first book came with a built-in system that allowed players to exchange for various resources and troop types, eventually leading to conquest of space. The second book has no female lead, is set during a global catastrophe, and begins with the construction of an underground city. The third book is also a system-based novel; the male protagonist can not only see resource prompts, but these resources can also enhance his abilities, such as strength and speed. The fourth book features a ruthless and decisive protagonist who, upon returning from the apocalypse, immediately seeks revenge and settles scores. He also meticulously plans his future development in the post-apocalyptic world. Ruthless yet rational, this is a good book.
