    I've read most of the post-apocalyptic novels that Tomato recommended, and surprisingly, this one, which doesn't even have a rating yet, is the one that really suits my taste. The female lead is quite lucky and often finds supplies, but her luck is always a double-edged sword; she doesn't get them easily, and there are frequent fights involved in acquiring them. The author describes the fight scenes quite well. The only downside for me is that it's still ongoing, which is a bit too short.
