I think a have an idea for a novel/comic that’s really interesting
I’ve had this manga/novel concept in my head for years, so I figured I’d finally put the basic idea out there.
I’ll give the basic premise first, and if you have questions, ask me because I probably have an answer 😂. There’s a LOT more to this story than what I’m putting here.
The world is a fantasy/modern-ish world with a very strong divide between Winners and Losers.
Monsters come from the core of the planet. Why? Nobody knows yet.
There are people called Heroes (I might change the name because “Hero” sounds pretty basic) whose job is to fight and kill these monsters. There are only 1,000 ranked Heroes, ranging from D-Rank to S-Rank. Only the top 10 are S-Rank.
The interesting thing is that around 98% of Heroes are Winners. Losers are generally seen as people who don’t have what it takes to become Heroes and mostly end up doing physical/labor jobs instead.
Our MC becomes a Hero.
But he’s not your typical shonen MC.
His entire goal is to write the story of his own life. He’s basically writing an ongoing biography, and he wants his life to be as interesting as possible so he can create the best story.
So he intentionally tries to become a stronger Hero because he wants to experience crazier things, meet interesting people, fight stronger monsters, and have more things to write about.
And he’s kinda messed up because he doesn’t always react to emotional situations normally. If something tragic happens, instead of necessarily processing it emotionally, he’ll think about how good of a part it would make in his story and write it down.
If someone falls in love with him, he might basically think, “That’s a pretty interesting development for my story.”
The story is literally his life, and we’re basically watching his life while knowing that he’s writing it down as it happens.
And this is genuinely like 1% of the actual story. 😭
I haven’t even explained the real power system, the actual plot, the major characters, the intelligent monsters, the later story, or where the Winner/Loser conflict goes.
So if you’re interested, ask me anything about it. I have way more planned than I could fit into one post
