   It's not the apocalypse, it's the story of the entire city of Xi'an being transported to the late Qing Dynasty. The government is still the government. [Bookshelf added][Request for more updates] Highly recommended! I stumbled upon this book on my homepage, and my reading slump was completely over. I just can't stop reading. My only complaint is: @Why isn't the author updating like crazy?! The plot is so exciting, it's both thrilling and agonizing to read, leaving me wanting more. I can't hold back anymore, I have to jump out and write a review to catch my breath before going back to devour it. This book doesn't have a traditional male or female lead. If I had to name a protagonist, it would probably be the people!! It's a true ensemble piece. A sudden accident sends the entire city of Xi'an back to the late Qing Dynasty (or rather, the two worlds are swapped). At this time, the Xianfeng government is facing an invasion by the Anglo-French allied forces. The Xi'an municipal government quickly activates its emergency response plan for special circumstances. This part is written very meticulously and logically, with a fast-paced rhythm that gets the reader's blood pumping. The story unfolds gradually, and people slowly accept the fact of time travel. They begin to manage development and plan for the future within the existing environment and resources—after all, we are too familiar with this history and know what will happen next. The self-sufficiency, operation, and livelihood of nearly ten million people in Xi'an, as well as precautions for the future, must all be addressed simultaneously. The responses of various technical personnel are well-written, and the use of modern knowledge doesn't feel exaggerated. The reactions of Qing government officials and the emperor have already been described, and I'm really looking forward to the subsequent developments. I hope that in this different timeline, China can be spared the heavy suffering of the past. Highly recommended, you won't regret it! Several stories about the reactions of people from ancient Xi'an to the modern era are also very interesting. Motherland is cautiously testing and verifying, and I look forward to the next developments.

    Reader note

    Both of these are ongoing novels. The first one is about survival at sea in a different world. Everyone starts with a gift from their home planet, either a physical item or an ability. The protagonist initially seems like an ordinary person, but his unique gift makes him quite powerful. After transmigrating, he's helped establish an organization led by someone from his former system, teaching everyone how to survive. After observing the organization, the protagonist joins and grows alongside it, gradually absorbing new transmigrators (the original world is static, and people transmigrate in batches; the protagonist seems to be in the first batch). This novel is still relatively short, currently set at sea, with only a few groups of people having transmigrated. To be precise, it's only recently left the beginner's village, but it covers the establishment of small organizations, conflicts, and reorganizations after the organization's growth. It's quite professional, an ensemble piece, but the protagonist has a significant role, gradually rising from an ordinary person to leading a group and then to a higher position. The author seems to have professional writing experience; many of the wordings are very authentic. I look forward to the future development. The second book begins with a soldier who has been reborn, leading to an event where everyone in the original world is transported to a strange new world and encounters a crisis. The nation intervenes, mobilizing all its resources in personnel, technology, military, and logistics, as well as rapidly developing the new world after landing, organizing rescues, researching alien creatures and technologies, and combating dangerous beings. This is also an ensemble drama, and it feels like there isn't a clearly defined protagonist. The reborn soldier, in my opinion, is just a catalyst; the main focus is on the process of the state apparatus exerting its power.

    Despite the Iron Man rebellion and the apocalypse brought about by the Great Rift that swept across the entire galaxy, the Imperial Empire, led by the Emperor, continued to function normally. Although the evil apocalypse brought literal cannibalism and a life worse than dogs, the Imperial Empire maintained a relatively normal operation relative to the "chaos" of the warp. However, the Emperor's fall ushered in a second apocalypse for this world. In the despair of this post-apocalyptic world, although the Empire could barely maintain normal operations, everything was at its last gasp. But it is undeniable that the Empire's population is no less than a trillion, and its territory stretches for thousands of miles. Losing one more or one less wouldn't make a difference. In short, it meets all the requirements of this post: it is indeed an apocalypse, and it is indeed functioning normally. Although it's not about dragging along a few hundred million people, but rather an entire galaxy, tell me if it's dragging along or not [smile][facepalm]
