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
A Veteran Reader’s List for When You’re Out of Books
I've been reading for ten years and have tried all kinds of books. There aren't many novels I can still enjoy these days. I prefer books with sound logic and a protagonist with decent values, ideally with some depth and food for thought. And no tormenting the protagonist! Ratings go from one star to five.
Apocalypse Fiction: Old and New
Apocalypse novels. My tastes have shifted many times over the past eight years, but I’ve always loved apocalypse stories. Sadly, the genre has fallen out of favor, and many older books can no longer be found.

Finally, someone is writing about normal people.
I've always felt that very few people live with the sole purpose of building a harem and torturing others... But in most post-apocalyptic stories, the survivors seem to have only thoughts of sex, eating, and slaughtering their fellow humans... It's as if a virus is filtering humanity, and only the abnormal can survive.
Well, it's a bit strange. It's not that I'm possessive, but so far, I've seen two pregnant women rescued, two men and three women, and yet they've managed to squeeze out three couples from such a small group, including the protagonist. I'm not saying I'm necessarily looking for a harem or anything, but the protagonist only found a supermarket cashier who's average-looking and slightly overweight…
I strongly recommend that all authors of post-apocalyptic fiction read "After Humanity Disappeared".
It's a TV series with two seasons. Although it's based on simulations and speculation, it's definitely more accurate than the average person's understanding... Just search "after humans disappeared" on Bilibili...
Please, author, write less about minors 😅 Don't make me keep writing about it only to have it folded to 404 (a Chinese internet slang term for being taken down) 😅
Will it turn into fantasy like those post-apocalyptic novels that started out?
To be honest, it's not good-looking.
If you keep running into babies or pregnant women, why don't you add a couple of elderly women and disabled people to your list? You'll have a moral grand slam!
The quality of the material is acceptable, but the plot development is uninteresting, lacking twists and turns, and too repetitive. Aside from the scenes where the protagonist uses superpowers, it's all rather bland. Even if you deleted at least 60 or 70 chapters out of 100, it wouldn't affect the reading experience.
Collection Recommendation
If any readers see this, please bookmark and recommend it. Thank you.
A surprisingly delightful book, completely overshadowed by its obscure title and synopsis (I had no idea it was a post-apocalyptic novel before reading it). The opening descriptions are incredibly detailed. The downside is the overemphasis on personal interpretations (I don't have a problem with these personal interpretations themselves, but good authors should subtly conceal their biases within the narrative; this author seemed to prioritize self-expression too much).
I feel like I'm about to be castrated.
Is the author about to lose control? The outline isn't done properly. The plot keeps repeating itself, using the same old formula. At this rate, it'll be abandoned soon.
