Welcome to Yuan Qichuan's reading list! 😄 There are countless novels on Qidian, but only a handful are truly enjoyable: the ones you can patiently keep reading, and that pull you in so completely you forget the time and skip meals.

Top-Tier Apocalypse Fiction!
The apocalypse is no place for a bleeding heart. You don’t have to be ruthless, but you need to consider the consequences of your actions. I, for one, have no patience for a protagonist who’s too nice for their own good! Qidian has so few good post-apocalyptic novels, so I’ve had to make do... These days, so many apocalypse stories give the protagonist a System or some other golden finger that there’s no tension in everyday life. How can you call that an apocalypse? Life should be difficult and

Collecting some good post-apocalyptic novels

My ratings and reviews are pretty subjective, so take them with a grain of salt. The list is deliberately uncategorized. I mostly like feel-good novels that aren't too beginner-friendly. If you enjoy these books, please give the list a follow 🥺 *I'll update recommendations and ratings for ongoing novels based on how they develop, or remove them if needed.

The White-Clad Bookworm's Bookshelf, Currently Taking It Easy
♛ The first book I read was Zhu Xian, and I was hooked from then on. I read pretty much every genre. I generally avoid stories with cheating or where the heroine gets passed around. ♛ Completed works, ongoing stories, and promising new ones are all included. I’m very sensitive to flaws: if several things I can’t stand show up in a row, I’ll delete a book in frustration, no matter how long I’ve followed it or how much I’ve tipped the author. But if a book really suits my taste, I can put up with

Say a few words
As a fan of post-apocalyptic novels, I've read most of the well-known ones. I'd give this one around an 8 out of 10. It has many strengths: logical consistency, well-developed characters, and it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. On Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), it should be considered top-tier among post-apocalyptic novels. However! However!
I've seen the latest update. I wonder if the author plans to introduce large camps with various factions, or a survival scenario for small survivors. Traditional post-apocalyptic stories often involve setting up a large camp, oppressing the protagonist, who then erupts in anger. Personally, I prefer small-team post-apocalyptic exploration or farming.
The protagonist has it so good! He starts with a car and a house, is his own boss, and has a cute girl living with him. It seems like he's a winner in life from the very beginning. It's a shame he had to suffer during the apocalypse—oh wait, this protagonist is actually living a much better life than anyone else after the apocalypse.
A masterpiece of post-apocalyptic literature
This is the first time I've seen such a good post-apocalyptic novel on Qidian. I've read 240 chapters so far, and it's incredibly captivating. Having grown accustomed to novels about mutation, leveling up, and overpowered characters, I now prefer more ordinary post-apocalyptic stories that explore humanity more deeply.
The plot and pacing are decent, but it's a bit padded. The main problem is that the book keeps emphasizing the male protagonist's character, constantly stressing that in the apocalypse, one must be ruthless and not soft-hearted. Whenever the protagonist does something that isn't even a bad thing, it needs to be explained. I'm absolutely disgusted by these self-righteous little devils these days.
Honestly, without any special abilities or advantages, even a special forces soldier would have a hard time surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, let alone an ordinary person.
It was alright at first, but later, even after we had a gathering place, you still did everything yourself. You acted like a babysitter, preventing the others from growing at all. Every time we met strangers, only the protagonist could spot the problem, while the teammates couldn't. I always had to explain to the teammates for ages. The teammates who couldn't be written about didn't grow at all, right? Otherwise, what's the use of these teammates?
Having read 120 chapters, here's a summary for those who haven't.
1. Overall, it's well-written, ranking in the top 20% of post-apocalyptic novels I've read. 2. Key highlights: Mostly no superpowers, leaning towards realism; No Mary Sue characters; Besides the two main heroines at the beginning, there shouldn't be any other female leads, avoiding the appearance of idiotic female characters. Also, there's basically no romance, avoiding awkwardness;
I've read up to chapter 236. It's been a while since I've had a power-up. I hope this setting appears more often in the later stages, after all, it's the apocalypse, and people are all corrupt and wicked! Without some special abilities, it's not fun. Life is hard enough already, I don't want to read novels and then have to immerse myself in the characters' miserable lives...
