   This one fits the bill. It's a post-apocalyptic novel with some wildly imaginative elements. The setting is quite novel and I've been developing it for a long time. The opening is like a chase-style escape room story, but it gradually transitions into a wasteland open world, with the background setting unfolding gradually. It's not a wish-fulfillment novel, and there are no rules, systems, or numerical values; it focuses on showcasing character arcs and a rich plot, with plenty of thrilling and exciting scenes. It's worth mentioning that the protagonist and his group are amnesiacs, with virtually no understanding of the wasteland world. The perspective is always locked on the protagonist; whatever information the protagonist knows, the reader knows; if the protagonist gets incorrect information, the reader also gets incorrect information. There are almost no omniscient narrations revealing key clues or world background. The reader will explore this war-torn yet magnificent wasteland world alongside the protagonist.
