   1. The protagonist has tried his best to save as many people as possible, but he's not a saint. 2. The title itself reveals the theme: Red Survival. 3. I feel he did his best; the protagonist is probably a mix of chaos and kindness, right? 4. The protagonist has distanced himself from everyone else, so there's a bit of... 5.

   The first six books focus on a small group, where the protagonist won't be the strongest, or far superior, but will always be in the top tier. This is true survival; geniuses are as numerous as the stars, and there can never be only one, rather than an illogical, invincible system. Think about why the protagonist has a system. The second, fifth, and sixth books directly address collective survival, not individualism, but mutual support. The second and sixth books mainly involve large groups, while the fifth book focuses on rebuilding civilization. An individual can never compare to a collective because a collective is composed of countless individuals. The composition of countless individuals doesn't mean there are only weak individuals; it's within a collective that geniuses are more likely to emerge. The third and fourth books both focus on independent survival, but unlike other novels, the protagonist in the third book isn't the strongest; there are countless other unique individuals like him. In the fourth book, the protagonist shares his knowledge for free in a group chat, making him undisputed number one within that group. While he may not be involved in other areas, he mostly simulates his own talents, rarely focusing on survival. However, my assessment is that his experiences truly match his strength, far surpassing those novels where the protagonist starts with a system, sees immediate benefits, draws daily prizes, and treats survival like a vacation. This protagonist genuinely takes risks and pays a price.

    I need help finding something like this. Honestly, I don't understand those survival-themed novels. It seems like the chat and trading functions are only useful for picking up scraps in the early stages; later on, it's basically just the protagonist helping others unilaterally, which is completely useless. Why insist on making the protagonist stand out from the crowd? To put it nicely, the protagonist is exceptionally strong; to put it bluntly, everyone else is collectively weakened. With 1.4 billion people, there can't be no one who isn't at least as strong as the protagonist. Besides, survival-themed novels, except for those where the goal is mutual destruction and only the survivors can complete the game (but I didn't specify), shouldn't they involve everyone sharing information, a collective swarming, raising the basic skill level and survival rate of everyone, changing quality through quantity, and thus creating more high-level survivors? That way, mutual help is possible. I provide them with information, help them when they're weak, and as they grow stronger, they give back to me, pushing me to even greater heights, and so on, in a cyclical manner. Doesn't it seem illogical for someone to be inexplicably much stronger than everyone else? Then why bother with a survival-themed novel? The protagonist might as well just transmigrate!
