    Apocalyse Summoner.

    I've finished this and God and Devil World. Be warned that it has some peculiar fetishes and features a bizarre mix of characters from anime, Chinese TV series, WuXia novels, video games and even other online novels. It also has odd filler arcs like becoming an idol or a video gaming champion. I tend to like fusions and mashups but this was all over the place. Still I finished the series so it's not terrible. GDW was much better overall. Although the later chapters of GDW was pretty meh.

    To be fair it's post apocalypse so one prime ingredient is the breakdown of the veneer of civilized behavior, and showing the ugliness of humanity underneath once laws no longer apply.

    If you wanted hugs, rainbows and puppies then I suggest something other than PA.

    Overall the series is fairly balanced. In general there are good and bad people in every race with the bad ones usually in charge because they are brutal enough to suppress everyone else. The only one where I don't recall any decent native people might be Country A (aka Indonesia).

    That is not to say the author is or is not racist. His whole subtext of using race as a rallying point in a PA setting is entirely believable. It's the classic us vs them philosophy that helps to unite people. In fact throughout the series you encounter leaders of various factions who rode the jingoist ship to power but privately feel that they should've treated other groups better.

    As for women randomly fallen in love... this is PA. Were you expecting flowers, movie dates, singing karaoke and romantic walks on the beach? The fact that YZ is powerful as a individual, has many followers and isn't overly sadistic means he's probably the best choice they have considering the alternatives.
