My Siheyuan Shelter

Family, I really wanted to read a post-apocalyptic novel about hoarding supplies, but I couldn't find any. I found this book on the ranking list and read up to chapter 36—I ​​read it in eight parts. I need to catch my breath after reading a few chapters 😭 Please, I'm not talking about how this book is; my inability to finish it is purely a personal issue. Librarians, please recommend some good post-apocalyptic resource-gathering/farming novels! 😭😭😭😭

I really like this kind of story. The post-apocalyptic novels I've read before all just develop into a faction and start saving the world. They're all the same old thing in different guises. What I'm missing is a novel like this one—it has a sense of the era, and even though it's a post-apocalyptic world, there's hope and order.

It's very realistic; few people write about this kind of apocalyptic climate. How a large family survives is indeed a difficult problem. Some people see it as a toxic element, but others see it as reality. The author shouldn't listen to others' nonsense; write according to your own ideas!

Anyway, I think it's alright. If you're into this, just leave; the comments are getting more and more frustrating. This is more of a disaster story than a survival story, since you respawn with supplies and the government is still around. Aside from some flawed settings, it's generally okay. If you don't like it, please don't criticize; just click the down button.

I finished it in one go. I can't say the book is bad; the writing style is decent. However, the premise is absolutely terrible. Stockpiling food is fine, but what's with the parents being in their 70s and 80s, plus older brothers and sisters—a whole family? A whole family? Are you playing a human in the apocalypse? And the family isn't united; they're all just laborers.

I just had to get this off my chest. I've read over 200 posts, and they keep saying there's a food shortage, but then they send this and that. My sister helped out once, and then they kept sending more, way more than the market price—so much meat, so many eggs! Do other people even have that? They're starving, and then there are these kids, all plump and healthy.

The synopsis tells us not to project reality onto this, but we still have to apply common sense, right? This protagonist hadn't eaten meat for seven or eight years in his past life, and all his children had died of starvation, leaving only one. To have this post-apocalyptic scenario of donating milk powder and selling meat in this life—you might as well rename the book "I'm Doing Charity in the Apocalypse"—or rather, his past life was truly a waste of his potential.

Even at this point, she still doesn't tell her family anything, doesn't reveal any information, and just wallows in self-pity, letting her family ruin her plans. It's disgusting. I don't understand the author's purpose in writing this passage. Is it to show the protagonist's filial piety, or something else?

It's making me anxious. First, they hoarded so much stuff without hiding it properly, even bringing their family to the basement to see it. Then, they gave it away, saying it was about to expire and they were exchanging it for something else. Knowing there would be food shortages, they spent millions on jewelry, which their wife couldn't bear to part with, so they sold it at a clearance sale.

A cheap and durable car would be fine, why insist on buying one costing millions? Always picking the most expensive things... This person must be a fake reincarnated individual. They should be using resources more wisely!
