   The first book has a romantic pairing, but it's incredibly good, although the male lead's presence isn't very strong, in my opinion. The second book is about a team; the epilogue seems to introduce a male lead, and it has two endings, one bad and one happy. The third book is a female-centric story with an incredibly powerful advantage, and no male lead. The fourth book is an ongoing series, which I haven't finished reading yet because I want to accumulate more chapters, and I think it's quite good, with no romantic pairing. The fifth book is a completed work, and it's very good.

    Help! These two post-apocalyptic novels are so good! After reading them, all I can think about is "Why didn't I read them sooner!" *The Female Supporting Character in the Apocalypse: Pushing the Female Lead into a Zombie Pile at the Start* is absolutely amazing! The female lead, Jiang Yuntan, is so cool! She's not resentful at all being a villainous supporting character; she betrays the original female lead right from the start and clings to Shen Hegui's coattails for rapid growth. The interdimensional trading system is eye-opening! Interstellar mechs, cultivation fruits—you name it! Apocalyptic survival can be this extravagant! The male lead, Shen Hegui, is also incredibly affectionate. From "Just don't mess with me" to "Call me if you want to do something bad," this romance is irresistible! *The Apocalypse Arrives: Little Zombie, I've Been Recruited!* Is so cute! The female lead, Xu Duoduo, is adorable when she transforms into a little zombie and keeps saying "Aba aba!"

    This novel is the best post-apocalyptic story I've ever read on Tomato Grain, bar none. It depicts how a group of people, led by Zhang Wenshu, survive, struggle, and ultimately triumph in a post-apocalyptic world. The plot is clear, humorous, and concise, with vividly portrayed characters who seem to step right out of the screen. It's a powerfully written post-apocalyptic story that evokes memories of the glorious history of the People's Republic of China. I look forward to more works from the author!
