   I recommend this book. The female protagonist is a reasonably minded, somewhat conscientious, ordinary office worker who returns to her roots as a Taoist nun and gradually grows stronger in a post-apocalyptic world. She's not cold-blooded, selfish, or scheming; she doesn't engage in cutthroat competition. The novel tells a story of human bonds and protection, and passionate patriotism. The plot is fresh and engaging; it's truly a great read. Highly recommended.

    After reading too many lighthearted, fast-paced stories, I suddenly prefer something simpler like this. It's a lighthearted story about a socially awkward (and sometimes sadistic) girl who unexpectedly gains the ability to use her space. However, due to insufficient savings, she has to be very frugal and works until the end of the world before quitting. With the apocalypse approaching, she can only buy some raw materials and process them herself. Although she has a space, she still tries her best to collect resources, grow vegetables, and raise livestock during the apocalypse. She has no romantic partner and lives until she naturally grows old.

    The book I wanted to recommend doesn't have any, but I'll recommend this urban fantasy novel—a post-apocalyptic story: *Wasteland*, *The Apocalyptic Son-in-Law*, *Starting with Cultivation in the Wasteland*, and *Becoming an Immortal Alone in the Apocalypse*. The male protagonist's genes and virus have perfectly fused and evolved; his highly evolved brain can drive his physical evolution. It's about cultivation and immortality.

Other lists with Doomsday: I Started with a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and My Talent Is Dual Cultivation?
