   Three top-tier books. The first one has an extremely fast pace; the female lead is very strong but tragically dies, leaving her the only survivor. Personally, I felt there were many storylines that could have been developed, and the ending felt a bit rushed, leaving a sense of confusion as it progressed, increasingly resembling an outline, but it's still top-tier. The second book features a special map, from island survival to city life. Besides infected individuals, there are natural disasters. There are physical enhancements, but no superpowers like water or fire-breathing. The infected also undergo enhancements. It's well-written and relatively merciful, with the main characters not dying along the way. The third book has a well-developed female lead. She's a spoiled rich girl who takes advantage of opportunities but is also adaptable without being annoying. She's also quite ruthless, and her injuries throughout the story made me wince. The atmosphere isn't too heavy; there's a saintly figure, but not one who abandons the team. The female lead and her sidekick's ruthless and murderous personalities compensate for this. Although the plot is heavy, the atmosphere isn't overly so.

    Check out these: First: The female lead is amazing! The character design is fantastic! She's so likable (an ensemble piece! All the characters are great! No dragging plots!). Second: The main trio are all excellent! Their characters are clearly defined and very distinctive! Especially the arrogant young lady, the little fox, and the father from Qishan! They're all very likable! Third: Also an ensemble piece! Shen Xi is simply divine! All the characters, whether supporting or main, are fantastic! It's also one of the best books in terms of character development! Fourth: This one is also good! You've probably all seen the short drama! Fifth: I think the male lead's character design is slightly similar to the female lead in the first book (don't criticize my personal opinion). The male lead is very intelligent and has a lot of humanity! You should all check them out!
