Don't miss it if you want a fast-paced, action-packed story. 2️⃣ The female lead is a doll maker. Her interactions with the dolls are heartwarming and healing. The plot is also very original. 3️⃣ The female lead is transported into a horror game and becomes a pixelated character. The plot is quite good. 4️⃣ The plot is also super good. The female lead is very strong. It's a fast-paced, action-packed story worth checking out. 5️⃣ This book is hilarious. All types of post-apocalyptic male and female leads are recruited into the team. Just thinking about the expressions of the male and female leads when they're speechless makes me laugh so hard. All of these are quite good.
