   I was surprised to see someone recommending this book, so I had to check it out. The quality of the books, in order of enjoyment, is as follows: The first one is so good that no matter how I describe it, it's too mediocre. The protagonist's ultimate goal is to save the world. This book is a true masterpiece! If possible, I hope everyone will read it. I've recommended this book many times, but too many people underestimate it because of its title. The second book is highly recommended if you like war, military, and politics. Even if you don't like it, you'll definitely like it. The protagonist's story truly begins after the founding of the nation. Without harming his country's interests, the protagonist will do what he can to be a saint, but he will also do things that are despicable for the sake of national politics. However, I felt that these were the best solutions. The third book is by the same author as the second, but don't skip it just because you're unfamiliar with 40k. I hadn't known about it, but I still found it very engaging. It's also quite saintly, considering he has to build a team of at least several hundred people. In summary, the first two books are true masterpieces. They all share one thing in common: teamwork! Power is not used to bully the weak, but to make weak companions stronger, thus helping oneself become even stronger.

   Unlike the original novel, this one is less ruthless and decisive. A cataclysmic event sweeps the world, with mutated monsters and hallucinatory illusions lurking everywhere. Wang Liu, a cannon fodder character transmigrated into the book, awakens to the cycle of death and reincarnation, risking his life to rewind time, seize opportunities, and gamble on fate, hoping to escape his inevitable demise. Unexpectedly, the original protagonist, Zhang Ba, is also reborn with memories of his past life. His opportunities are repeatedly thwarted, causing him to become completely corrupted and determined to eliminate Wang Liu. The illusion of the withered locust tree, the bloody battle on the desolate road, and the bizarre parasitic crisis strike one after another. Director Shangchuan possesses military equipment, and Mayor Jinyang secretly plots using precognitive dreams; in the distant core area, an anomaly occurs, and the main AI faithfully executes the commands that have been corrupted by the mutated creatures, marking the two as high-risk variables and launching a hunt.

    I don't have any overly kind, saintly characters here, but there is one who doesn't kill indiscriminately. The overall atmosphere leans more towards warmth and order. However, I haven't finished reading it yet; the book is too long, and I'm not sure how it will turn out later.

    He shamelessly promotes his own books and avoids indiscriminate killing. The game-like *The Walking Dead* starts (with all characters from the comics and TV series appearing in the mid-game), featuring an original main storyline plus fan-created characters forming a team. It lacks bizarre superpowers and systems, and its style leans towards realism and darkness. The protagonist develops, is morally ambiguous, possesses both passion and intelligence, and primarily uses melee weapons and light firearms. Zombies are no longer just background figures; there are mutations similar to those in *Lesson 4 Dead*, and some individuals possess intelligence capable of initiating hordes of zombies.

    A protagonist in a post-apocalyptic world radiates positive energy!! Patriotism!! Leading humanity against alien races!! Who hasn't dreamed of being a hero in their youth? Lin Mo was no exception, only to be brutally crushed by reality. He thought life was the cruelest apocalypse, and his so-called hero's dream was nothing more than a youthful, ignorant fantasy. Until—the true apocalypse arrived, civilization collapsed, order crumbled, and Earth became a hunting ground for zombies and ferocious beasts. This apocalypse was caused by the accidental crash of an alien girl, Su Yingxue, onto Earth, resulting in a leak of her source energy. She planted a spiritual seed, choosing Su Qing as the savior, and even became her aunt to protect her, developing evolution potions and interstellar weapons. Unexpectedly, Su Qing fell for him, becoming Lin Mo's devoted fangirl; and Lin Mo, awakening a rare devouring talent in the entire galaxy, devoured source crystals, created his own cultivation techniques and swordsmanship, and rampaged through levels beyond his own! Watch how an ordinary person crushed by reality grows from a fantasy hero into a true savior in the apocalypse! Su Yingxue looked at Lin Mo, who was having an amazing run, and said, "Fine, you're the real protagonist now. I'm giving up."
