Foreword

 

a/n

there was a time that I really enjoyed zombie movies, and for a while now I've been wanting to write a zombie!au. after binge-watching 8 seasons of walking dead and 2 seasons of fear the walking dead (which i decide to drop because URGH), here we are. the universe is more of walking dead than anything, though it's not exactly a walking dead!au

I have a lot of self-doubt especially since I've been inactive in writing for 2 years now, I should focus on my old stories first, but--screw it, let's do this.

thank you for reading, please leave your thoughts in the comment! - nico.

Chapter 1: your writing is so good!! i like how you delve into jaehyun's feelings and memories and as a whole i really like the background information and descriptions. i personally think this chapter wasn't slow at all! it had the right amount of action and i was hooked at the beginning
reading this actually kind of inspired to me to start writing the fourth chapter of my own zombie apocalypse au....

Chapter 1: No wonder this story has a great start, you took your time and prepared so well. I'm already hooked! I really enjoyed the action scenes even though there are not much zombies yet. I'm excited to read more in the future chapters plus, the romance between Jaehyun and Chaeyeon, since that's what I came here for haha. Anyway, thanks for updating ^^. Looking forward to more~

Chapter 1: A zombie!apocalypse AU starring Jaehyun and Chaeyeon? I'm up for it! I really like how you painted a dreadful atmosphere in the story through Jaehyun's perspective. It's heartwarming to see how close-knitted he and his group of friends are. Although they met in terrible circumstances, it's nice how to see them work together to ensure their survival, like how Jaehyun saved Victoria from near death. Also, Ten and Jaehyun's friendship is adorable asdfgh. I also love how you describe his emotions throughout the chapter, his nostalgia when he was eating food he hadn't eaten for a long time etc, and his vulnerabilities when he decided to let his selfish side take over him and refuse to give Dongwook the water. All of this was delivered in a very raw manner that's realistic and relatable. Poor Jaehyun ; n ;

Disasters alone expose the darker sides of humanity, so I wasn't surprised about the looting of supplies and all. I'm glad that you mentioned about that too, to show how drastic situations can drive people to the edge. I could even understand Dongwook; all he wanted was to save a fellow soldier, and it makes sense why he'd rather sacrifice a bunch of strangers over his friend. It's selfish, yes, but it's inevitable. But, it's still unfair to Jaehyun, even if it's understandable. Everyone is desperately trying to survive. Why should they give the supplies they painstakingly found to a random stranger because he's on the brink of death? It's difficult to stand on either person's side, honestly >_<

I'm looking forward to see what role Chaeyeon plays in the story, and her story with Jaehyun ; u ; But I do feel that angst will only be coming their way with all the zombies out there to turn them into one of them. Yikes.

I actually think the pace is fine. Maybe I'm used to slow-paced stories hehe. It allows for more character development, I believe? But yea, some people may want more action. And I didn't really mind the lack of zombies lol. However, there are some grammatical errors which I spotted. Would you want me to send you a list of those I spotted? ; u ;
