   Reader note

   The first book begins with an encounter with a mutated snake, leading to a high-speed life-or-death escape and an extreme challenge. After escaping, she discovers a cheat ability—purification power—but dares not let anyone know, forcing her to scavenge alone. Leveraging her lucky streak, she finds resources others can't, kills mutated beasts others wouldn't dare, and lives a life of luxury in the wasteland, acquiring precious crystals and drinking pure water. Later, she even gains a powerful boyfriend. The second book is highly recommended! Everyone should check out the wasteland setting, but it's hilarious! The female lead is incredibly funny, initially scavenging alone, later joining a team. The male lead, whom she saves at the beginning, is involved in a suspenseful mystery with backstabbing, traps, and counter-traps. Every time she unearths "junk," she's shocked by the price offered by the post-apocalyptic people—it's both funny and satisfying. The third book involves being transported to another world by a blue abyss dragon to test radioactive plants, surviving within a protective shield. To survive, she grows stronger with a group of like-minded companions. The fourth book is a scavenging, food, and farming novel. The female lead is an ordinary person who just wants to get rich and buy a house—a heartwarming story of getting rich.

    Reader note

    I don't know what kind of novels everyone likes, but this post-apocalyptic novel is my top pick among the ones I've read. It doesn't have a huge cheat code, just some good luck (given by the author) and some superpowers (the novel features superpowered individuals and genetically modified humans). It's a completed story and not too long. I personally dislike post-apocalyptic novels with overly overpowered protagonists; I think post-apocalyptic novels have a kind of radiation pollution (this is the main issue, plus other disasters and dangers). A protagonist living in a shantytown with too much of a cheat code feels disjointed, like a dying fantasy. It's not that all of them are unreadable, but these kinds of novels are easy to fall apart if you're not careful. While you shouldn't read novels with your brain, people have basic values ​​and preferences.

    The first book features a romantic pairing and a post-apocalyptic farming theme. It's set after the apocalypse has largely ended and the story revolves around a farming revival. Overall, there's relatively little combat; it's mostly about the two main characters farming with their pets. The second book is similar to the first and is also excellent. The third book leans towards gathering, although it includes some farming elements, but mostly involves wilderness gathering. This book also features a lot of intrigue and power struggles, making it less straightforward and more plot-driven. The fourth book is purely gathering-based, about a large family living together in the wasteland. I didn't get into it at first because of some overly sentimental behavior. While family shouldn't be too calculating, the female lead is indeed the sole breadwinner in the early stages, basically supporting the whole family and saving her neighbors. However, I got hooked on it later, as the later chapters are less contradictory and overall quite heartwarming.

    🔥Post-apocalyptic novels, already completed, and I've personally tested and finished reading them, please check them out! The first book is relatively lighthearted, the female lead is very strong, and she has a love interest. The second book features a female lead with super high intelligence, explosive combat power, and is super cool and sassy.
