    [Apocalypse + Rebirth + Gods + Superpowers + Instant Wealth at the Start + System Lottery] In the apocalypse, one should be decisive and ruthless, seeking revenge with swift justice! But this should also mean being quick to kill and quick to save, repaying kindness and seeking revenge. It shouldn't be about ignoring those who have been kind to you and killing everyone who glares at you. I recommend this book. The protagonist, as a reborn individual, is absolutely rational, not a saint, but certainly not cruel. The early stages are slow-burn, laying the groundwork for the story, while the later stages are filled with action, a female lead, humor, touching moments, and a sense of righteousness. It depicts the growth of an ordinary survivor who, after being reborn and gaining a system, gradually becomes humanity's hope in the apocalypse.

    Here I am, recommending books! Don't miss out! [Top Post] [Note] The first book features Fu Junlin as the main character. The original title was "High-Dimensional Creature Parasitic Diary." I was wondering why I couldn't find it after finishing it, turns out the title was changed. If you can't find it like me, please leave a comment so I can see how many there are! [Eating melon emoji] It's a novel I read twice. Once you start, you can't stop. It's relatively short, so you can read it in one go. The plot isn't too long, the setting is unique and interesting, and the ending is a bit rushed. There are no obvious flaws, so it's worth reading. [Note] The second book features a non-saintly protagonist. The content is tight and humorous. It's worth mentioning that many of Yao Shu's books reflect reality, and this one is very realistic. [Crying emoji] [Note] The third book is a novel one. It maintains the original thriller elements while incorporating humor. If you're someone who's both scared and want to read, you should check it out. It might really suit your taste! [Smirking emoji]
