   These are the three books I'm currently following. The first one is a rare gem on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). It started slowly but improved dramatically, with a well-developed protagonist's growth and excellent writing. The initial plot might be a bit bland, requiring some patience, but it gets incredibly exciting from the moment the protagonist becomes the apprentice of the Far East King. This book perfectly illustrates that no one can escape the wheels of time. The protagonist almost died several times, but the author persevered, and the story is now relatively alive. The second book is even more impressive, brimming with various references and jokes. The author's writing seamlessly integrates these references with the plot, avoiding the feeling of writing jokes for the sake of writing them. The pacing is tight and concise, with no unnecessary filler. The protagonist's power level is also just right—strong but not invincible. The supporting characters don't become idiotic, which is rare on Tomato. Furthermore, the human race is very strong, one of the top races in the universe, and there are no scenes of humans being oppressed (though there are some instances of them being targeted). Because there are too many novels on Tomato where the human race is weak, they are all formulaic and repetitive, which I personally dislike. The only downside is that the author only updates twice a day, no matter how many gifts or rewards are given by big spenders. It's rare to see such a principled author (they do offer thanks, but just keep talking without adding more chapters). The third book is an ensemble piece about power struggles, starting slowly but gaining momentum. After the initial growth phase, it becomes incredibly exciting. There are some slightly toxic parts in the early stages, but they're manageable (I'm sure those of you on the site are immune to them by now). Every character is well-developed; it's a winner-takes-all story, one of the best ensemble pieces on the site. However, readers who don't like ensemble pieces might find it difficult to read. A lot of the later chapters focus on other characters' stories, while the early and middle parts are primarily about the protagonist. The protagonist's overpowered abilities are relatively understated. The author seems to have been implanted with memories. According to the author, he did not have a clear outline when writing this book. He just wrote down what he dreamed about. It is as if the world consciousness of another world wanted to share their world's epic and used the author as a hub to spread it. But it is indeed a good book, and the author's productivity is very high, the highest among these three books.

    At the start of the apocalypse, the older brother led his teammates home to find his younger siblings. "My sister is frail and helpless, like a porcelain doll; my brother is quiet and adorable, very cute." Upon reaching their doorstep, Lu Nange and Lu Beiye, the siblings armed, blocked the corridor, having chased and brutally beaten a group of burly men. The dull thuds of blows, the men's cries of pain, and the clanging of objects mingled together. The three exchanged glances, and the siblings quickly hid their weapons, still stained with the enemies' "battle marks," behind their backs. Lu Nange and her brother exchanged a look, tilting their heads obediently: "Big brother! Hi~" Among the group that followed, a red-haired boy nudged Lu Xici: "Brother Ci, is this your obedient sister? Your adorable brother?" "Get lost! My siblings are defending themselves." Lu Xici irritably pushed away his teammates, thinking, "We're too late. My siblings have to take up arms to defend themselves."

    To be honest, this book perfectly captures the human heart in a post-apocalyptic world. It establishes rules for saving people: no saving the useless, no nurturing the wolves; those who come seeking refuge must return in three days. A combination of kindness and severity is far more sophisticated than simply being a saint or resorting to violence. I've learned something from this.
