   It's a very light read, not very long yet, and currently seems to be a single-female-lead story.

   These are the post-apocalyptic novels I find enjoyable: I only like novels about ordinary people without any special abilities. The post-apocalyptic environment is so harsh; ordinary people are just struggling to survive, and one day they'll simply die. If you have any good recommendations, please let me know. I don't read novels with billion-dollar houses, spatial abilities, or daily check-in systems; those are too much of a cheat code. Post-apocalyptic novels about ordinary people are difficult to write; if the data isn't good, the author is likely to give up, and if they stop updating, it's even harder to get them back. All the novels are listed in no particular order: 1) Post-apocalyptic: Under the Black Rain (The torrential rain is terrible; the rain is corrosive, too tragic. While reading, I only hoped the protagonist could grow mushrooms, pumpkins, and winter melons—at least fill his stomach! Sigh, I hope he can eat his fill.) 2) Fire Dance Wolf Brother Song: Legend of the Ice River Hunter. Author: Youxia Tuoer (The author writes very well. I'm usually averse to novels with superpowers, but the superpowers in this one are very weak. The key is that there's hardly any cheat code. However, I don't really like the ending the author wrote, because based on the environment and the protagonist's condition, I think his ending won't be good when he's old.) 4) Wasteland Rats Chronicles: Plague Blood Song (Same author as above. I like everything except the ending.) 5) Ying'an Old Home, Author: Xi Zhi Ai E (Sigh, the journey home of two ordinary people in the apocalypse, very well written.) 6) Apocalypse: Global Warming. Author: Chigua Mengmei (High Temperature Apocalypse) 7) Apocalypse Arrives: Global Power Outage. Author: This author is no good. 8) Apocalyptic Disaster: Survival Begins with Heavy Rain. Author: Mo Qing 10) Escape! A Besieged City in the Apocalyptic Wasteland. Author: Ai Xing 11) Divorce and Escape. Authors: Lonely Mountain Wanderer and Dudu in the Setting Sun (I think the title is a bit off; it's a survival novel set on a deserted island, but it's very well written.) 12) Winter Survivor's Notes. Author: Little Little Snail (This one is a bit like a production line story, but it's alright.) 13) Turbid Apocalypse. Author: Golden Hoop Senior. 14) Black Winter is Coming, I Survive Until Civilization Reboots with the Generator 15) The Warehouse I Guarded Was Raided Empty 14+15 are all by (from the gorilla me) novels about ordinary people struggling to survive in the apocalypse, without any cheat codes. Some of these novels are hard to find, so I've marked the authors. If you think they're well-written, please follow the authors, comment, and urge them to update or start a new book. I can't urge them all by myself.

    🌈First Book: A sudden catastrophe struck, and Xia Xiaoman, trapped in a subway by floodwaters, never imagined it was just a disastrous "catastrophe card draw." The world crumbled under extreme weather: locusts blotted out the sun, tornadoes ravaged cities, and smog concealed poison, until a tide of spiritual energy resurgence swept the globe. Plants and animals mutated like madmen, man-eating flowers bloomed in the streets, and hordes of mutated giant rats roamed the land; humans also began to awaken supernatural abilities, and order was completely rewritten by the evolved. Xia Xiaoman didn't awaken any offensive abilities, but she possessed infinite space. In floods, she became a scuba hunter, infiltrating shopping malls to precisely retrieve all high-calorie supplies; during periods of high temperatures and drought, her space's water storage capacity was comparable to a reservoir; in the eternal night, she lit a coal pot to stew mutated rabbit meat. While others risked their lives to grab resources, she focused on growing vegetables, hunting, and stockpiling food, carving out a safe haven in the evolutionary frenzy in the simplest way. No romance, no melodrama, only the security of a full granary and a clear-headed understanding of human nature. ⛱️Second Book: Overnight, a blizzard blanketed civilization, and Lu Shen was plunged into a desolate, lawless wasteland, devoid of resources. Here, there was no order, only deadly radioactive dust and mutated creatures lurking in the darkness. When survival became an extreme challenge, Lu Shen chose to build a fortress around a dilapidated shelter, forging a barrier in despair. He gathered resources, smelted steel, and cultivated cold-resistant crops, transforming his precarious existence into a fortress on a snow-covered island. The real highlight wasn't just resisting the freezing cold, but also the astonishing transformation of the protagonist's immune system and will to survive under extreme pressure… When external temperatures exceeded the limits of human survival, human potential also broke free of its constraints. Watch as Lu Shen, wielding a spark of hope, carves a path to survival in the perpetually frozen wasteland, rekindling the flame of civilization.
