   I read this novel a long time ago, and I really loved it. Maybe it's because I don't usually like post-apocalyptic stories where the protagonist has an overpowered cheat ability from the start [almost crying emoji], but I think it's quite difficult to find this type of story. So when I came across this book, I really liked it. The female lead isn't strong from the beginning either; she develops gradually. The male lead's character is also very compelling, but because it's been a while, I can't remember exactly what he is. Everyone should definitely give it a try!

   Highly recommend! I stumbled upon this novel during my school days. I thought the cover was interesting when I saw it recommended on the homepage, and after finishing all the serialized novels during a break between classes, I randomly clicked on this one, and I was completely captivated. I especially love the little flower baby in it ( ˘ ³˘)♥

   Reader note

   I recommend this book, although I wrote it myself. It has a single female lead with no romantic pairing, but there is a love story. She's decisive and ruthless, not a saint. She has ice-attribute superpowers and is a slender, mature woman. She initially sides with humanity, but later becomes a zombie and the antagonist. Her stance changes depending on her identity, so please be aware. It's not a romance novel disguised as a post-apocalyptic story. It's purely a post-apocalyptic setting. There's no system, and the protagonist is intelligent. The plot is still progressing and is a slow-burner.

   Reader note

   Baby, I really recommend this one because they all settle scores on the spot, and the female leads all have very distinct and interesting personalities. It's not like everyone is a sycophant just because the main character is the main character; they each have their own joys and sorrows, which is really great.
