   This is a post-apocalyptic disaster novel with no romantic pairing. It's a true account of an ordinary person's survival in the apocalypse! The female lead is cautious and intelligent, not the kind of character who wreaks havoc in a fantasy novel. She's just an ordinary person whose thinking and ideas are similar to those of the military. She has a private space that she never shows to others, and her teammates are only temporary. It's a fairly realistic post-apocalyptic survival novel!

    The first book focuses on survival, but the system insists on going on adventures. It has its comedic and entertaining moments, and most importantly, it maintains the tension of the apocalypse. What is the apocalypse? You can't just keep having fun; it's the end of the world, after all. There needs to be tension and excitement. I got chills reading it. If you don't like thrills and tension, you can check out the second book. The second book is a top-tier apocalyptic thriller, with both satisfying humor and engaging moments—a thrill from beginning to end.

    This book is a pseudo-apocalyptic story, a genre that is currently unique in the market. The author has a solid foundation, having completed two million-word books. The protagonist is also decisive and ruthless, making it a very good read. It is still a new book, so the low rating is normal.
