I tried to be a bit varied in this post. Realistic, urban fantasy, game elements and even ones with a standard game-like system, there should be something for almost everyone, I think.
Return Survival (KR)
The apocalypse will arrive in six months. Yohan knows this because he had experience it all during the three years that the he spent fighting and surviving against zombies and his enemies during the apocalypse. He should’ve been dead, but instead he was sent back to the past with a chance to prepare for the worst that will come. As he and his comrades struggle to build a safe zone for humans, they will slowly learn the reason why all of this happened.
My Rating: 7.5/10
Stagnant Water of Apocalypse (KR)
Survival Life was a VRMMO game where an alien spore inside a meteorite became the genesis of zombie infection that spread worldwide. In this notoriously difficult game, players have to fight and survive against zombies and other monsters. The protagonist, who was the last remaining player in the game, noticed that there was a news about a meteorite heading to Earth just like in the game. What’s the likelihood that the same thing will unfold in the world? 100%. The game manifested in reality.

My Girlfriend Is a Zombie (CN)
When doomsday struck, Ling Mo awakened the ability to control zombies. He would’ve been able to live a happy-go-lucky life with his girlfriend in this zombie-infested world. But, he can’t. He found out that his girlfriend mutated into a zombie, and forgot about him.

Apocalypse Meltdown (CN)
When 80% of humanity became zombies, civilization struggled to stay up until humans found out that they can awaken and evolve stronger. Chu Han never awakened, but he lived long enough to know that mankind’s hope would be snuffed out after 10 years. In a twist of fate, he woke up back to the day before the apocalypse started with all his memories of that decade-long struggle.

Don’t Feed the Dark (EN)
It came without warning. Overnight, North East Ohio was awash with blood. Zombies appeared in droves and fed on the living. The world has become a haven for the living dead, and the living has to cooperate regardless of their inclinations or risk death… or worse, become a part of the horde.
My Rating: 8.5/10 (It’s grimdark. Prepare yourself.)
Apocalypse Cockroach (CN)
Zhang Xiao Qiang was a shut-in who would’ve spent his whole life staring at his computer. He did not care or believe the apocalypse until the gruesome sight that he saw outside of his room snapped him back to reality. A viral infection turned people around the globe into zombies. With the zombies so close to home, staying indoors and doing nothing will likely lead to his death. With death so close, he has to learn how to fight for his life while keeping his moral compass.
My Rating: 7/10
Into the Zombie World (EN)
Truck-kun found a dude who willingly offered himself to its bumper. After the accident, Nile woke up possessing the body of a guy bearing the same name. It’s not so bad since it’s the start of his adventure in a fantasy world… or not. The world he ended up in was currently having a zombie apocalypse.
My Rating: 7/10
The Door to Rebirth in Apocalypse (CN)
Idiots are the ones who get betrayed in the apocalypse, and the opposite is also true. Gu Ning was an idiot. She died after the people she helped turn their backs on her, but then she woke up in a strange place where strange white place where there is only one door. It was a door that will let her travel between a zombie-infested world and an undead-free world.
My Rating: 8/10
The First Hunter (KR)
Before an organized system for hunters existed, there were always pioneers. Those who, to survive, had to walk amidst monsters brought about by the apocalypse. Kim Taehoon, a former special forces soldier, adapted the fastest when the world flipped upside down. His suicidal tendencies coupled with his elite experience may just keep him alive in a monster-filled world where boldness isn’t enough to be granted fortune’s favor.

A Middle-aged Man Who Returned From Another World Becomes Unrivaled in the Apocalyptic World (JP)
Yanagi Azami didn’t want to be involved in whatever happens after their hero party defeated the demon king, so he bid his comrades farewell and went back to Japan. He spent three years in the other world wielding his sword, but when he came back, only a month passed. Everything should be back to normal until he went outside, and zombies were everywhere. Luckily, it seemed like he did not lose his abilities as a “Samurai”.
