   This zombie novel set under a socialist system is incredibly well-written. It depicts how zombies are fought off from the perspective of individual neighborhoods, eventually spreading throughout the entire city. It portrays both humanity and the superiority of the system.

   Curator note

   This is a food-themed novel; it made me hungry just reading it. The female lead is truly amazing; everyone, young and old, will fall in love with her. She's capable, resourceful, and uses food to orchestrate political changes. Why do we often fall for male leads? Because authors always give them the spotlight. This novel is different! The women in it all have their own principles, are loyal and righteous, and can do better than most men! This is my absolute favorite novel I've read in recent years!

    Curator note

    I haven't read a novel about a completely serious romance in a long time, and I loved it! The female lead is proficient in mathematics and astronomy, idealistic, upright, and loyal, with a proud yet adorable personality. The male lead is a complete perfectionist, believing in the principle of "no evil is too small to be done," and that if he's going to do something, he'll do something truly wicked, hahaha, which is also quite endearing.
