    The story begins with a group of people trying to survive. Later, it becomes a story of survival, where not a single person can be left behind. The writing is superb; the following are excerpts from the novel: A tragic life is like a torturous melodrama. Life is unpredictable, but my experiences have taught me to accept whatever happens. However, what we crave is never bitterness, but rather the rare sweetness. Therefore, desire breeds the thought of seeking advantage and avoiding harm. We, who are sensible, often know what we should do, yet we always let desires grow, allowing rampant thoughts to limit the courage to act. We too have come from the ranks of freshmen; those of the same batch of freshmen may have shared childhood experiences. But after the fairy tale, childhood sweethearts are at most two! As youth ends, like-minded people will continue forward together on the path of confusion.

    The romance in the first book is weak; it's mainly about teamwork. The first book is from the male lead's perspective, a bit cheesy, but I found it quite exciting.

    Highly recommended! I won't go into detail about number 1, but number 2 is a bit less well-known. It's really good, with a world-building that subtly alludes to reality. Every character is fleshed out and changes over time. The portrayal of brotherhood is particularly well done. Uh, if it weren't for the official pairing, I would have loved to ship them. (Just kidding, straight men sometimes write without thinking!) Even the villains have their own charisma.
