    Both are quite good; they're both post-apocalyptic "laissez-faire" novels. The first one features a female special forces soldier who transmigrates to a post-apocalyptic world with combat skills, a spatial ability, and abundant resources—purely natural disaster with no zombies. The male lead is an alien, a super-powerful, doting husband. It's about their son and a little white cat's daily life in the apocalypse. There aren't many dramatic ups and downs, and not many difficult characters to fight. Because of their extraordinary strength, they can live as they please whenever they want. The second one features a male lead who is reborn in the apocalypse, starting with five elemental abilities at level ten and an incredibly powerful spatial ability. He's at the pinnacle of power, but he lacks ambition and only wants to retire. 😂 While we've seen many female leads who are lazy and unambitious, this is the first one where the male lead is genuinely lazy. The female lead starts without abilities and is a bit of a coward. Later, she gains abilities and becomes quite powerful, but she's still a coward. This is a lighthearted and sweet romance novel suitable for relaxation. The author has a very imaginative mind, and even the daily life of the two, five cats, and a bunch of mutated plants is written very well. The male lead also has the ability to spot scheming women, so he doesn't need the female lead to intervene; he handles everything himself.

    The female protagonist's life goal is to eat and drink, and to be as lazy as possible. She's not just lazy; she's incredibly idle, preferring to lie down rather than stand, and eating meat rather than vegetables. The book could practically be titled "The Life of Two Salted Fish."

    The first book is a high-energy post-apocalyptic novel. The protagonist faked his death to protect others and hoard food after being betrayed. He was hunted down by various parties and fought back in a bloody battle. He had no interest in fighting for supremacy. I highly recommend it and you won't regret reading it.
