Book concept

[TheEldritchGod]

Book opens like your typical zombie apocalypse manwha. The MC just traveled back in time to the start. He just broke away from his fellow asshole students to go hook up with the big boobed FL when a portal opens up and an Indiana Jones knock off tumbles out.


"What kind of zombie out break is this?"

"What?"

"What kind? American, Japanese or Chinese? The type of outbreak will tell me how to survive until the next junction!"

Meet Jake London, scientific adventurer. Fighting the good fight in a multidimentional war. He has to get back to his home world, but hes stuck behind enemy lines. So he is going around them through the nearly suicidal path of universes that are all one type or another of zombie outbreak.

By jumping from one to the next, he hopes to make it back to earth to drop off the maguffin.

Thoughts?

BRAINFART INCOMING
first of all, there is a number of what could be called problems...

"What kind of zombie out break is this?"

"What?"

"What kind? American, Japanese or Chinese? The type of outbreak will tell me how to survive until the next junction!"

I have no idea tf an American, Japanese or Chinese zombie outbreak is. Is it the origin of the pandemic? Why not something like Vietnamese, Thai, Russian, Liberian, Mongolian etc outbreak?
I don't think a random schoolboy would know either. So why did the Indiana Jones ask it?

Meet Jake London, scientific adventurer

What is a scientific adventurer? The title tells me next to nothing.

Fighting the good fight in a multidimentional war. He has to get back to his home world, but hes stuck behind enemy lines. So he is going around them through the nearly suicidal path of universes that are all one type or another of zombie outbreak.

Speaking of which, I assumed it was a parallel world kinda deal, but if it isn't, doubly wtf would he expect a random schoolboy to know what an American etc zombie outbreak is?

How about a small revision?
The Indiana Jones is, in fact, not a knock off, but, rather, a wannabe. He got unexpectedly teleported to a zombie apocalypse, got the world settings and decided to act cool.
That is why he is spitting these things out of his arse.
The story will be a bl romantic comedy with a black-bellied shou (gong) who is the returnee boy, who sees through Indiana's bullshit but lets him act this way because, as the rules state, the op ml is bored out of his mind and the novel way of conduct of mc make him go "Indiana, you have caught my attention"

Well american zombie outbreaks have many guns and the bad guy is usually the government or a corporation. Japanese are usually a mixed bag, but most adults are trying to die noble deaths for the good of society.

Chinese outbreaks, everyone is fuckin evil or stupid except the MC. All rhe men are rapists, all the women sell thier body at the drop of a hat and will betray everyone for even a hint of extra supplies.

Seriously? Has nobody seen zombie apocalypse genre before?

"It's Norwegian. You see? The zombies are Nazis."

the last jp zombie story I read everybody was a psychopath and an all-girls school started a cult where they believed men created apocalypse, so they used male survivors as slaves...

I generally don't read chinese zombie stories but I according to my limited experience that is either an exaggeration or plain wrong

Seriously? Has nobody seen zombie apocalypse genre before?

Well, it isn't my cuppa tea and any rando on the street isn't likely to know the genre well either

Dude, come on. It's not like this is your first day on the forum. All you need to do is read the pinned thread. Writing prompt section is not a slower paced author general. It's a place for you to give rules and get other authors to write a story. Leave the discussions in the discussion section. There are many of them. Many!

"It's Norwegian. You see? The zombies are Nazis."

OH THAT'S GOOD. I need to have a world of Nazi Zombies. Thank you.
So American, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian... Korean? You know, I can't really pin that one does.

If I were to pick the typical Korean Zombie Apocalypse, I'd have to say... The guy gets the magic power to transport himself between the real world and the zombie world and uses that to make money. I'm not sure that fits, but Korea's ZAs don't really seem to have their own style.

I wonder if England-style would be Rage zombies. They seem to prefer infected humans over actual undead.

Huh? Thats not what I've seen in that forum, but... okay.

Knocked off Jones out here assuming some random teen is going to be able to provide him enough information for him to understand where and what time he's at in order to accurately do his job. Not the smartest choice.

And enemy lines? What? You're throwing zombies into an interdimensional war of some kind and he's just bouncing around between various Zombie Apocs instead of actually fighting whatever enemy is out there? 1/10, wouldn't read. I'd only read for the big tits on that side character you mentioned. There's just no actual explanation as to why the zombies matter and I doubt you'll be able to come up with a good enough explanation for that to happen.

You'd be better off saying he's just a guy in underwear with a shotgun who enjoys killing zombies so he jumps around doing just that, and when one world is cleansed he leaves his DNA behind for repopulation purposes and then goes to the next one.
