   The female protagonist is incredibly intelligent and able to uncover the truth from many small details. And if you enjoy ensemble casts, I highly recommend this book; it's unlike any other post-apocalyptic novel! Completely different! Other post-apocalyptic novels focus on hoarding resources or building your own base to become a leader. This book, however, takes a national perspective, letting everyone know that even in a post-apocalyptic world, the nation will still stand up to protect us. Soldiers will still fight on the front lines, facing danger to protect the people and striving to maintain social stability; and the people will unconditionally trust that the nation will protect them. Every character in this book has their own unique traits and shining moments. Two competing groups fail to unite in time to fight against natural disasters; those who wanted to use superpowers to protect the nation become mutants; the proud and aloof Qiu Yu dies saving Sheng An; Assistant Hao is a hero who secretly fights against mutants… Not only are the protagonists with superpowers heroes, but the researchers working tirelessly are also heroes, and those who obey the nation's orders and trust in the nation are even more heroic. Everyone is doing their part in the post-apocalyptic world; everyone is a hero; everyone is a savior of the Earth. My two favorite lines are: "I will swear to serve my country to the death, defend my homeland, and protect my people. I am willing to use my life and blood to build this land." — "My name is Sheng An, Sheng as in prosperous times, An as in peace and prosperity for the nation." — "My name is Qiu Yu, Qiu as in a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, Yu as in favorable weather." Sheng An, Qiu Yu. May this prosperous era bring peace and prosperity for the nation, and may it last a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, with favorable weather for the harvest.

   Super hot-blooded female lead and hilarious too 😘 Who understands, folks! "I, Buddha, Don't Save Idiots" directly refreshes the ceiling of cultivation novels! While other Buddhist cultivators are eating vegetarian food and chanting scriptures, our Sister Jiang wields a wooden fish in her left hand and a brick in her right, leading the thirteen crazy geniuses of Zhongzhou in a killing spree! (No CP! No CP! No CP!) I'll say it three times because it's important!! While Mary Sue novels are still creating a battleground of female rivalry, Sister Jiang has already swept through the cultivation world with a spiked club—physically exorcising villains by day (merit -999), and getting struck by lightning with a cyberpunk afro by night for stealing offerings! The thirteen crazy geniuses of Zhongzhou are even more extraordinary: the alchemist cultivates toxic chicken soup, the sword cultivator plays fancy hand gestures, and the Buddhist cultivator engages in cyber merit fraud... This group of conspicuous people together would make even the Heavenly Dao buy a standing ticket and run away overnight! (Merit wholesale market: ShuanQ, closed down) You think it's just silly? I cried so much in the chapter where the young men trampled the heavens that I ran away from home with my contact lenses! When a ghost cultivator burdened with a blood feud laughs as his soul dissipates, when an arrogant monster with innate sword bones breaks his own life-bound sword to protect his companions, when Jiang Zhu shields everyone behind him shouting, "If you want to touch my brothers, step over my dead body first"—what kind of Buddhist cultivator is this? This is like a shonen manga come to life!! (Tissue warning: you might get stabbed while laughing!) Fans of ensemble dramas will go crazy! Every character feels like they were born from your DNA: the stubborn but soft-hearted third senior brother secretly knits sweaters for everyone, the socially awkward Poisonous Cultivator trains a parrot that only knows how to curse "chao," even the villain who dies after only three chapters has the tragic character setting of "being caught up in a sudden death while still writing KPIs"... What kind of divine author is this! They've welded souls to these two-dimensional characters!! The ending completely threw me off—when the thirteen prodigies collectively ignited their souls and blew up the Heavenly Dao, I was screaming "No!" While frantically taking screenshots, and then in the post-credits scene, Jiang Zhu chuckled at the starry sky: "Who says you can't overthrow the Three Realms after you're dead?" Ugh, author, you have no heart!! (Shaking shoulders frantically) Hurry up and type some more extra chapters!!
