    I've found a post-apocalyptic novel with a very steady pace. The protagonist is intelligent, not reckless, and not an overpowered protagonist. Despite being a powerful cultivator, he's constantly hampered in this wasteland of supernatural abilities, where the spiritual energy is scarce and he's also corrupted by supernatural powers. He uses readily available materials, carving array foundations from concrete, refining elixirs from wasteland weeds and herbs, and employing arrays to outmaneuver his enemies. He doesn't rely on mindless slaughter to win. If you're tired of mindless wish-fulfillment novels, this might be a refreshing change.

    Okay, I'd like to recommend a book here. It's a post-apocalyptic story with no female lead, featuring superpowers but no cheat codes. The plot isn't slow-paced, and it includes time travel elements. It tells the story of the male protagonist exploring the truth of the world in a post-apocalyptic world and dungeons. The main story is interwoven with dungeon stories, where the protagonist solves mysteries and survives. The author is very free-spirited, writing whatever comes to mind.
