    The first book is adapted from a true story and is exceptionally good; it's very sweet in the beginning and extremely heartbreaking later on. The second book I read before, I don't remember it very well, but anyway, the female lead has a best friend who is incredibly kind to her, but both the best friend and the female lead fall in love with the same person. Of course, they don't become enemies as you might imagine, but the female lead still dies. The third one needs no introduction, right? Extremely heartbreaking. The fourth and fifth books are ones I really like, and I highly recommend both. The sixth and seventh books are by the same author, the first and second parts; Little Moon's life is truly tragic. For the eighth book, I can only say don't read it if you're not prepared; the protagonist is a bit love-struck, but you won't find it offensive. It's extremely tragic, and it's the story of the protagonist and Li Chu. The ninth book has a very tragic protagonist; if you have a soft spot for the main characters, don't read it. This book is relatively unfriendly to the main characters and might have some out-of-character moments, but it's still very good.

"You have to write about rebirth, about the despair of being betrayed by close friends in the previous life, about the helplessness and panic at the time of rebirth, about choosing a completely different path after your heart is ashen, about the protagonist turning from an esper into a zombie..." He looked at the boy, as if looking at others through the boy. "You have to write about the protagonist encountering a group of dim-witted friends. You have to write about his initial wariness turning into joyful drinking with them. You have to write about their arguments, their mutual wishes for safety during the great battle, about everyone dying in the war, about the protagonist crawling like a dog before his friend's grave... About him being unable to cry, about him wanting to die but being unable to." "You have to write that the most painful killing blow isn't the blow of betrayal, but the blow of warmth and sincerity." "You have to write that if they want nothing in return, if they no longer trust anyone, the protagonist is willing to pay the price for their sincerity." "You have to write about the apocalypse, but you can't just write about the apocalypse." Looking at the shocked boy, Hao Chi's eyes held a gentle smile, like a spring breeze, yet concealing an unconcealable sadness. "You must write about the hatred between humans and zombies, about the taciturn human boy who takes his zombie bride everywhere he goes, about the little zombie's initial vitality and eventual annihilation, about the Tang sword with its dulled blade losing its red-clad owner, about bodies riddled with bullets, about ordinary people turning into 300 million zombies, about the lingering stench of blood, about the bullet craters still visible on the city walls." "You must not only write about these things, but also about the superhumans who never returned, about the girl called a saint but ruthless in her killing, about the crying infants, about each and every one of us… about the desolation after the war, about the earthquake a few years ago when over two hundred people were trapped in a building, and only one superhuman died… about ordinary people, about the People's Liberation Army, about millions buried on the battlefield." Hao Chi led him to the outskirts of Zhonghaizhou City in the game, where snow was falling. Hao Chi bent down and grabbed a handful of soil. "The protagonist you're writing about is buried here." So, don't write about post-apocalyptic heroes; you can't write them. All the protagonists are buried in the ground. If surviving makes you a protagonist, Hao Chi thought, he should be one too.
