Well, the term 'zero to one novel' is rather ambiguous. It could imply a novel that charts the growth of an idea from its infancy (zero) to its full - fledged form (one). It might also be about the development of a relationship, from two strangers (zero connection) to a deep and meaningful bond (one unified relationship). Or perhaps it's a novel that shows the progress of a project, starting from scratch and reaching a final, complete state.
I'm not entirely sure about the exact plot of 'The Zero and The One A Novel' as I haven't read it myself. But from the title, it seems like it could be a complex novel. The zero and one could be related to binary concepts in computer science, but in a more metaphorical sense for the story. It might explore how characters fit into two distinct categories or how they transition between these two states. It could also be a love story where two characters are as different as zero and one, and their relationship is about finding a middle ground or coexisting despite their differences.
Another theme could be transformation. The shift from zero to one could symbolize a character's growth or change throughout the novel. It might be about a character starting from a state of emptiness or lack (zero) and evolving into something more complete or self - realized (one). There could also be themes related to identity, as the characters might be defined by whether they are more like the zero or the one in the context of the story's world.
Since I'm not familiar with a particular 'zero to one novel', it's hard to recommend. However, books like 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho could be seen in a way as having elements of going from zero to one. The protagonist starts with a simple dream (almost like zero in terms of achieving it) and through his journey, he reaches a state of fulfillment and self - discovery (a kind of one).
Personally, I don't think one is objectively better than the other. The Re:Zero novel is great for those who want a more in - depth exploration of the story's themes, characters, and plot through pure text. It may have a more complex and detailed writing style. However, the light novel has its own perks. The illustrations add an extra layer of enjoyment, and the format is more accessible for those new to the story or those who are more into the anime - inspired aesthetic. If you're a die - hard fan of the series, you might end up enjoying both for different reasons.
It depends on personal preference. If you like detailed descriptions and a more in - depth exploration of the story, the light novel might be better for you. If you prefer visual storytelling and a faster - paced experience, then the manga could be your choice.
It depends on personal preference. If you like visual and audio elements, such as great animation and voice acting, then the anime might be better for you. The anime brings the story to life with its vivid colors and exciting action scenes.
[I don't think it will satisfy your needs, but I'll try my best to recommend a novel that is most relevant to your description. The book,"A Guide to Surviving in the Ruins", is a game novel written by the author, Slow Scholar. The general plot of this novel is as follows:
When a civilization reached its end, it would be destroyed by a disaster and become a ruin. The survivors would either become monsters or become champions who held their own relics to destroy the next civilization…
Death, Destruction, Darkness, Magic, Depravity, Evil God;
Survival, protection, hope, science, salvation, humanity…
Calamity walked on the earth, and the glory of humanity spread hope. This was a legend about "people."
Setting, infinite style, cards, mostly about human nature, dark, evil books.
In addition, insist on reading the fifth chapter. If you don't like it after reading the fifth chapter, I'll compensate you privately!

As a wild system, Zero only wanted to say,"Please give me a leg to hug." However, the hosts who could resonate with her were all salted fish, a group of weak chickens, and a bunch of scum. How could he break it if he didn't want to resonate with them at all? Oh…when can I have a host that can rule the universe? Space-time jumps require a lot of energy, okay? If I do too much work like transforming Little White, the system's energy spiral arms won't be beautiful anymore. The system wants to be beautiful, the colorful kind…

"Nine Lives and One Death of Rebirth" was a sci-fi space-time travel novel written by the author. The general plot of this novel was:
The story is nonsense, the style of writing is chaotic, there is no detailed study of allusions, and there is no history to investigate. Random wear, random wear, blind Hu rebirth, many people online at the same time, the protagonist occasionally disappeared. [The following is a summary of the plot (I can still read it patiently): As a repairman assigned by the system, the ancient clock has crossed several worlds to come here, so there is no more sadness than there is.] An unclear story, a series of conspiracies, and a soul that was almost swallowed up was already riddled with holes. If I could have another chance to be reborn, I would cross the distance between time and space to see the truth hidden in the depths of the world. Love or not, what did it matter? To be honest, the first three chapters were not outstanding, and the early plot was dull. However, the story had already unfolded, and each character had their own life and death. Ladies and gentlemen, if fate allows it, let's meet in the book...
