    No loss, no romantic pairing, a slightly dark and highly creative post-apocalyptic novel. The female lead's system even has a One Piece Devil Fruit! She survives to the end with her gay best friend. The beginning isn't a complete rebirth; the first ten chapters depict the female lead and her comrades holding out for six years, introducing many foreshadowing characters. After the rebirth, the pace suddenly becomes incredibly fast, with one plot point after another. I'm waiting for updates every day; it's almost at the end!

    I really think this is great! Maybe it's just my bias as a mother! The first two chapters are mostly slice-of-life, you can skip them and go straight to the later chapters, which are much better. The first two chapters might be a bit off-putting. If you don't like it, well, that's fine too.

    These are all relatively realistic post-apocalyptic novels, without any supernatural abilities. The first two are natural disaster-themed apocalypses, both starting with torrential rains, floods, earthquakes, extreme cold, extreme heat... In the first book, the female protagonist is reborn with a spatial ability, but there are no other supernatural abilities or cheat codes. The descriptions of natural disasters are very realistic, and the male and female protagonists secretly hand over all the apocalyptic information they knew before their rebirth to the government. The second book is even more realistic; there is no rebirth, no spatial ability, and no cheat codes. It tells the story of a group of ordinary people struggling to survive in the apocalypse by banding together. The last three books are zombie apocalypses, again without supernatural abilities, just a very realistic survival journey. There may be a few minor flaws, but they don't affect the overall enjoyment. The most recommended is "Starting with a Tang Sword," where the protagonist is quite strong and later has gene-enhancing drugs to strengthen his body. The other two books have no enhancement drugs or supernatural abilities; they are pure life-or-death battles.
