    This is a post-apocalyptic world-building novel with a single female lead and a vast universe. It's not a wish-fulfillment story. Although it's a new book, the male and female leads are very well-developed, with delicate and nuanced emotions. There isn't a single "I love you" spoken throughout, but the subtle details, gestures, and body language constantly convey their love. The male and female leads each have their own emotions, avoiding stereotypes and gender stigmatization. They support each other in their own way, with clear logic. If you enjoy nuanced emotions, solid characters, and a grand setting, give it a try. The first 14 chapters are a bit slow-paced, while the last 14 are filled with horror and a sense of oppression.

    I've found a realistic urban zombie apocalypse novel. The ordinary male protagonist accidentally contracted a virus during a catastrophe and awakened a danger warning ability. He's not invincible from the start; his body is still that of an ordinary person. He gets tired and injured while searching for supplies and fighting zombies. The details of survival are written very realistically, making it very immersive for the reader.

    The apocalypse has arrived, zombies howl, and mutated beasts roam freely. Lin Shen awakens dark powers and struggles to survive amidst the ruins. Calm and decisive, he gathers companions in dire straits, constantly breaking through barriers in blood and fire—from candlelight to the moonlight, from one person to an entire camp. When the light fades, he becomes the sharpest blade in the darkness. This is not one person's doomsday, but a rebirth for many. —New book, worth checking out.
