   The first book is about a race crossing over, where humanity starts from scratch and uses potions to advance their power. The second book is also about everyone striving to survive and build shelters; the plot is fresh and not clichéd. The third book is about everyone crossing over to sea to survive and build their own ships.

    Reader note

    The first book, *Survival in the Earth's Core: I Write a Guide for the Entire Server*, is an underrated and rare gem in the survival strategy genre. The protagonist is not a saint at all; he benefits from sharing strategies, a self-serving and altruistic premise that feels very realistic. He doesn't get caught up in internal conflicts when faced with unwarranted criticism, and he has his own supporters to fight back. The character development is fresh and relatable. While the writing style is slightly lacking, the overall plot is smooth and engaging, making it a rare gem in the genre. Readers who enjoy survival and server-wide strategy stories should definitely give it a try. I recently discovered several excellent survival novels for everyone. The second one is also very well-written; the protagonist is calm, has his own bottom line, and shares information. It's not the traditional story of gathering resources and developing a shelter; instead, it revolves around the protagonist's talent—the D-level personnel simulator—and his nighttime activities, telling the story of his adventures in various dungeons. Of course, there are also a few shortcomings that I think are flaws. For example, the female version of the protagonist, Xiaoye, who is a mixture of the protagonist's spirit and other elements, feels very strange. Also, the author's fondness for young girls is evident. In the chapters I've read so far, most of the powerful figures who are on good terms with the protagonist are young girls, which has given me a bit of aesthetic fatigue. Moreover, the various dungeons are arranged very tightly and the pace is very fast. The protagonist's rank improvement is very slow, but the dungeon level he fights is very high, which leads to a sense of disjointedness. The third book is as its name suggests, "Don't Come Here If You're a Cheater." The system in the book treats every survivor equally, and it's really hard to survive without using some cheats. The protagonist's talent is the learning type, and he will definitely gain something from learning knowledge. The protagonist gets stuck in the shelter at the beginning, which means he can't use the trading system. He can only learn the two skills given by the learning system: gathering and exploration. But this has a very good setting: skills can be learned autonomously. You can directly use skill books to upgrade with the system's experience stones, or you can open the skill book and learn the skills yourself. Moreover, the skills created by the protagonist will also be recognized by the system. Of course, there are flaws. The author's language is a bit too jarring, and he likes to make rather crude jokes. However, when I checked his profile and saw his title, I realized it was the fourth book in the series "Survival in the Mist," which also features many characters with overpowered abilities. The protagonist is a vegetative state patient who has been bedridden for 10 years. His talent is a manifestation of his willpower; he can lock his sanity and is immune to all negative status effects. He creates a team and is the team's main combat force, and his teammates are also very capable. The only downside, in my opinion, is that the White King arc is too long and feels like forced sentimentality. I haven't read much of this book yet, so this is the only flaw I've noticed so far.
