   Unlike some post-apocalyptic novels, *Apocalyptic Disaster: The Entire City is Flooded* avoids excessive sympathy for the protagonist. Instead, the protagonist survives in a city engulfed by floodwaters through their wisdom and decisive action, focusing on their own survival and that of those close to them rather than blindly helping others. The plot is fast-paced and filled with thrilling survival elements. *Apocalypse: Reborn, First Kill the Saintly One* subverts expectations, as its title suggests. The protagonist, reborn, has a clear goal: zero tolerance for "saintly" behavior. In the post-apocalyptic setting, they avoid meaningless acts of kindness, responding to crises with rationality and decisive action. This unique premise makes the story exhilarating and distinct from traditional post-apocalyptic narratives.
