Original Fiction, Female Lead's Perspective 原创，女主视角

1. 1 末 The Apocalypse Came, and I Wanted to Live Again 末世来了我又想活了 Call Me the Mountain King请叫我山大王No CP1.4M WordsCompleted A sudden downpour crashed over City A in the early hours of the morning. The next day, an unknown virus swept across the world. Plants grew wildly, animals mutated, and zombies roamed everywhere. Earth had entered hell mode. Xue Ling: Ha ha, I don't want to live anymore.

   It's a post-apocalyptic story about stockpiling supplies, but the ending felt rushed. The main plot is complete, but some plot holes remain unfilled. Although it's a romance, it seems to focus on the protagonist's sexual orientation rather than romantic relationships. The male lead could be anyone.

The name of every royal purification master will be engraved on the Monument of Eternity for all to admire!” “They’re hailed as ‘eternal suns.’ They live in cloud palaces safer than District One, with staff to take care of their every need and hundreds of bodyguards whenever they go out!” “Get your facts straight.” Faced with the System’s overblown recitation, the lavishly dressed girl replied lazily, “M 28.7kFavorites35kClicks/ch59.3kGifts

   The elements are a bit mixed, including beast taming and mecha. The system is basically just for show; the female lead carries the team all the way. It's just too short, ending a bit abruptly. However, all the plot holes are filled, and the ending is decent. It's just a pity there are no epilogues. The male lead's identity isn't explicitly stated, so it could be an all-male story.

3. 3 超 My Superpower Is Datafication [Apocalypse] 超能力是数据化[末世] Pure Offering清供Romance495k WordsCompleted In the year 23XX, a zombie virus broke out, and everyone lived in fear. The internet-addicted girl Lin Yi woke from a high fever to find the world had changed. Everything in Lin Yi's eyes had turned into data. She could see the attributes of every item; she could see the health bars of survivors and zombies; she could even drag enemies into game dungeons she knew well. Unfortunately, Lin Yi's starting stats made her a total weakling. To stay alive, Lin Yi treated the apocalypse like a ful 32.3kFavorites64.8kClicks/ch17.5kGifts

   It was pretty good, with a happy ending. The apocalypse and zombie outbreak were interesting, and the female lead's superpowers were intriguing. It's been a while since I watched it, so I've forgotten a bit, but I remember the romance was a bit strong. [Eating melon emoji]

   Curator note

   (//??//) The main character is truly a good person, adorable. The apocalypse has arrived, but the main storyline is mostly slice-of-life, with a relatively lighthearted atmosphere. Yes, it's labeled as a romance, but there's not much of a romantic subplot.

   Super good! It's a holographic game that doesn't interfere with reality; most of the time it takes place within the game, with lighthearted and funny slice-of-life moments. Although it's tagged as such, there's not much romance. [Eating popcorn emoji]

   Curator note

   The otherworldly invasion of reality is a bit of a plot hole, though the power levels get a bit inconsistent later on. It's still very fun, with a comprehensive setting and well-resolved plot points. You can tell the author has a touch of yuri (lesbian romance), but unfortunately, it's not actually yuri [winking emoji]. The hook kiss is super cool, and the fish-like kitten is adorable.

Respecting the original author, I hereby make this clarification.] Two months after the launch of Infinite Survival, it earned the title of “the hardest game in history.” Players died in every way imaginable, fell to their knees in every way imaginable, and were tormented until they were about to cry. But the game may torment me a thousand times 97.8kFavorites251.9kClicks/ch203.7kGifts

   However, it's an infinite dungeon, but it's a game dungeon with a lighthearted art style.

    I absolutely love this author's imaginative and hilarious writing style. It's a post-apocalyptic game system story about building your territory.

Gu Jingsheng used to think falling meteorites were something that only happened in badly concluded novels. She never imagined she'd experience it herself one day. A huge rock came hurtling down from the sky with a burning debuff, leaving her just enough time to shout, “I wasn't the one who abandoned the novel!” before her HP hit zero.

    Although the holographic game was interesting, had a fairly smooth storyline, and many game elements, it ended rather abruptly, leaving the ending a bit confusing. However, at least most of the plot holes were filled in by the end.

    The three little ones are so cute (//??//) [Rice][rice][rice] Congratulations on the completion! Finally, I can let you in. I wonder if there will be any side stories. The plot is interesting and logically sound, and it fills in the gaps. Although it mainly follows the main storyline, it's not constantly tense. The world-building is comprehensive and interesting [shy]. It's best not to read the comments in the latter half [melted]. Some idiots even got the main character's gender wrong and were criticizing it. I really don't know who they offended [eye roll].
