Apocalypse Survival Reading List (Updated Regularly)
Survival is a biological instinct. When all kinds of accidents happen to you, chance can turn into inevitability. (I have limited time and have only finished some of these books, so I can't fairly write recommendations for all of them. Feel free to suggest anything missing.)
Stories Where the Protagonist Is Pursued by Stronger Characters
Unlike stories with domineering male leads, the protagonists don't rely entirely on their own strength to drive the plot. These lean more toward emotional drama and tend to be sweet. Note: Since this is a mix of different types, I've marked each one's orientation and whether it's monogamous at the start.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
After reading the first nine chapters, along with the title and comments, my initial impression of the book was of a highly respected, saintly woman (similar to a papal saint in Western fantasy novels) who navigates various male protagonists to complete system tasks—a story of a seemingly innocent but actually naive heroine. However, by chapter ten, she's detached from the masses, inexplicably joining a small team as a healer, and then embarking on a long, tedious, and incredibly boring post-apocalyptic adventure. The weak female lead is barely noticeable in the beginning and becomes a burden later on; this part of the plot is truly tedious. I didn't see any saintly or naive heroine traits, and the female lead's personality doesn't quite fit the description...
Opinions on the male protagonist abandoning the female protagonist and running away
The male protagonist is a reincarnated individual who has been with countless women, so he doesn't fall in love with the female protagonist directly. His creed is to prioritize his own survival, which is why he brought the female protagonist along. Furthermore, the female protagonist has many secrets she hasn't told him, and he doesn't trust her. This makes perfect sense, so why do some people find it inexplicable? It would be strange if the male protagonist were to protect the female protagonist with his life; wouldn't that contradict the author's previous character development? Also, the male protagonist is absolutely rational during battles, suppressing all emotions except for survival, yet he still can't help feeling heartbroken. Isn't this proof that the male protagonist is almost in love with the female protagonist? To put it another way, the male protagonist has already...

This is a long review without spoilers, just some personal insights.
This is my first time writing a long review, and I'm not entirely sure how to write it, but... I can't help it! First, let's talk about the most controversial aspect: the romantic storyline. What I want to say is that Chen Ge is great, but not everyone will like him. To be fair, Chen Ge's decisions were correct in the post-apocalyptic world. The post-apocalyptic world is inherently dark, and he and the female lead hadn't yet developed into a real couple; at best, they were just two strangers living together and getting to know each other. Under these circumstances, he sensed that the female lead had ulterior motives in being around him. Even though he later believed that her goal was to get him, all of this was...
Post-apocalyptic stories are alright, but I have a different perspective on the apocalypse.
Modern mainstream novels often portray apocalyptic worlds by amplifying the ugliness of human nature to an extreme degree. However, I believe that in such a situation, it would reach a crisis at the racial level. While humans are inherently selfish, when the survival of the species is at stake, most people would likely unite against external threats. After all, in such circumstances, survival is extremely difficult for an individual, and the strength of a team is often greater than that of an individual. If extinction is imminent, would anyone still care about their personal safety? This applies to all animals as well; it's determined by DNA, as it's the optimal way for the species to continue. However, if it were written that way...
Suddenly I thought of Gu Erlang from The Story of Minglan.
No one is born heartless. Chen Ge had once treated others sincerely, but what was the result? Betrayal, abandonment, and unspeakable grievances. Only by breaking free, tearing his heart out, and starting anew, could he learn to think calmly, to calculate gains and losses, and to scheme against everyone. Only by killing the Chen Ge of the past could he survive in this world. He had his kindness and innocence worn away early in the apocalypse, learning to weigh pros and cons, to calculate gains and losses, and to be afraid to easily trust anyone or anything. Only after traversing mountains and valleys, experiencing suspicion, heartbreak, hesitation, and taking a long, circuitous route, did he realize that what he truly wanted was right before his eyes...
Advantages, disadvantages, and reflections
1. It's safe to say the novel is good, but the title is completely inappropriate. From other people's perspectives, accepting betrayal doesn't equate to being a saint, and I didn't see any saintliness in it at all. Because, in my opinion, being a saint requires trust in others and standing on the side of relative fairness and justice, not just being a doctor. The absolute withholding of the female protagonist's secrets and the unequal information regarding the winged humans and the human team are also problematic. Furthermore, the system's saintly rewards are too poor; it's more like a "wife system." No problem, change the name. The novel would definitely be better if it were renamed. 2. The strength is definitely the plot; the overall plot development is good, but personally, I feel the plot details are lacking...
As far as I feel [Chapter 199] is at present.
I might sound harsh and impolite, but this is truly a reflection of my feelings. From the moment the system only introduced Chen as a unique male lead, the male protagonist of this book was probably already decided. Abandoning the female lead midway is understandable, but the subsequent "I feel so bad" plot point is really far-fetched. I thought these were probably the most heart-wrenching parts of the book, but the most devastating was Chu's moral blackmail in the name of love. I want to blast this male supporting character! Whether the female lead saves these citizens or not has absolutely nothing to do with her. The female lead is a saint, but no one says a saint has to sacrifice herself for the greater good. Honestly, don't take the protagonist's kindness for granted...
