   *Sigh*, the first one doesn't involve reincarnation, but the second one, although involving reincarnation, is quite successful—not killed but made of purple clay, and strictly speaking, never actually died. (The first one is a serialized novel, proceed with caution.) Both are by the same author, and I absolutely love this style. I only like these two; I can't finish reading any other novels after a few hundred chapters. The protagonists in these two are intelligent, not brainless, and have logic. They also have many witty and humorous moments. Personally, I don't like protagonists who were bullied and died in their previous lives and then reincarnated, because I feel they've only been reborn, not gained intelligence, and don't deserve to be protagonists. I also don't like protagonists who are inhuman and extremely cold-blooded. I've read several books where reviews say they're not saintly or brainless, but either the Leshan Giant Buddha has to be moved so the protagonist can sit on it, or they're inhuman and cold-blooded, unworthy of being protagonists. The protagonists in these two novels aren't pseudo-saintly (note: pseudo-saintly), they're decisive yet humane, and most importantly, the protagonists are intelligent, not brainless at all!!! There are basically no post-apocalyptic novels that aren't brainless, saintly, or cold-blooded anymore, so these points are especially important. In short, regardless of what others say, these two books truly resonate with my thoughts; I love them, they're exactly what I'm looking for. (Important things said three times: Not mindless! Not mindless! Not mindless! Very clever! Very clever! Very clever! Humane! Humane! Humane! Not a saint! Not a saint! Not a saint!) Rating: Five stars

   Reader note

   These two are my favorite post-apocalyptic novels so far. The first one leans towards sweet romance, but without the typical rebirth-to-the-apocalyptic frenzy of stockpiling supplies. It opens with the apocalypse, featuring fresh character designs. The female lead is a plant spirit with immense power, isn't a saint, and is straightforward in her love and hate, directly pursuing the male lead. The male lead is initially a soldier but quickly retires, rejecting moral blackmail, respecting women, incredibly gentle, and doting on the female lead. There are no brainless female supporting characters or female rivalry—I love it! The second one focuses on protecting the homeland. In this post-apocalyptic novel, both the male and female leads work under the female lead. They're already together at the beginning. The female lead is powerful, intelligent, and strategic. Her relationship with the second female lead is similar to that of the female lead and second female lead in the TV series "Rouge." The male lead is powerful and only has eyes for the female lead. His screen time is just right, not too much, not too little. The plot has mind-bending, touching, and exciting parts towards the end. I think every part is well-developed, avoiding the problem of trying to include everything but ending hastily. The premise is excellent.

   This is not a rebirth novel. [Top Post] The protagonist is not a saint, decisive in killing, has humanity, is not dark, and has awakened the Devouring Talent, which allows him to absorb the talents of others and use them for his own purposes.
