Chapter 1 - Introductions

[Author's note: Hello, citizens. I am the author ShiroMori. I am just testing an idea I had in the shower, but I wanted to try publishing something based on it. I am inspired by my Chinese friends who write on ciweimao. I wanted to combine a survival island with the zombie apocalypse. I think it would be very fun. Please give me your support.]

[Editor's note: Ohayo, I'm SleepyAddict. I'm the guy who's gonna translate the manuscripts he sends me from Japanese to English, as well as fixing grammar mistakes, uploading it all here, and running this account. He doesn't speak English, so communication is hard enough as is. If he weren't my friend, I most likely wouldn't be doing this. I will also be responsible for any messages he wants to send and any he wants to receive. Although I am also the editor, I will also most likely have some sort of hand in the story.]

[Editor's note: Essentially, the idea is to combine two popular categories of survival: a deserted island and a zombie apocalypse. How it's going to happen, I have no idea. I'm a beta reader who knows little bits of the storyboard. We are both a little nervous and unsure how this is going to work, since this may be the first time something like this has ever happened, in terms of both plot and writing. Please be patient with both of us. If we make mistakes involving characters being Out of Character or simply wrong about events that occur in whatever series, feel free to call us out on it, and we will do our best to fill out plot holes or inconsistencies.]

[Author's note: I have a general outline shaped out, I just need to confirm a few details. You don't think about this stuff until you start trying to write. It is especially difficult when trying to combine different media of work. (example: Animation, Light Novel, Manga, game*). One example is Kato Megumi. She is cute but confusing. How did she get into such a prestigious academy? Can she cook? How does she feel about pets? What are her three sizes?** She is a basic character, yet a complex one at the same time. I hope to write at least 2 chapters a week, but I am a poor man. I have no consistency.]

*[Editor's note: There IS, in fact, a game where you can follow the anime, but this time you can pick your own route. It's called {Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata: 〜blessing flowers〜}, but it's PS:VITA only (unless you can "One Piece" it), but there is no English translation, so unless you can read Japanese, you can't do much.]

**[Editor's note: While researching for where the plot of Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata takes place, it turns out Kato Megumi's 3 sizes are B:84 / W:57 / H:83. It was info released for the promotion when the movie came out, along with the other heroine's sizes. But why would you want to know that information? Is it essential to the plot? Pervert.]

[Editor's note: Most of you probably just skipped this chapter, seeing as it has nothing to do with the story, and that's okay. We both just wished to clarify a few things. When translating, there are a few parts where you may see words followed by another word in parentheses. (Example: "You're an idiot." (Baka). This is because during translation, there may be a few words where there is wordplay, but it only makes sense in Japanese. I can't 100% replicate it in English, but I will do my best to break down or explain it. There will also be editor notes in the chapters, as I am similar to you guys in the sense that I am also reacting to this live as I read it, so I may leave some thoughts.]

[Editor's note: I also ask for you to leave comments. We don't care much about the powerstones, but seeing comments (both good and criticism) or reviews is more fun for both of us, as we aren't making money off of this. I will delete negative reviews, however, if they don't give criticism. If you leave 1-star reviews that just say "trash trash trash trash trash trash", I will probably delete them, because that doesn't give us much feedback. If you leave a 2-3 star review saying, "It's okay, writing is interesting, but it has harem, which I don't like.", (I have no idea if this is gonna be harem or not, but I am 80% sure it isn't.) That is a valid opinion.]

[Author's note: Well, enough small talk (it was 6am PST for him and 10pm JST for me, and we have been discussing for the last 3 hours.), please continue to support our endeavors. I hope we can last for a long time, at least 1 million words. I will see you next time.]

[Editor's note: That's almost 500 chapters, since each chapter is 2k words. I hope not for my own sake. I will see you guys next time as well.]
