Shonen Idea - Tumblr Posts
ok, I just thought of that... I have this novel that I call Drone Game, it's about a Mirai Nikki type game where several people are chosen to participate in a death/battle royale game. but in this story, several people receive invitations to play the game via an app, from which after adding personal information a robot called a battle drone is summoned and the game begins!
The object is to participate in this game until there are three winners left to fight against each other and whoever remains the winner becomes the CEO of the company that created the Drones and receives whatever they want.
The main character after finding out about the game decides that he will find out who is behind this game and cut the evil at the root! With help from participants and non-participants who have helped them along the way, while confronting participants who really want to win. Every participant has a reason to participate, selfish, personal and desperate reasons. Drones would also be made based on the aspects of their wielders, in addition to containing abilities that would help in the game.
Because of that idea, just now I thought... "Why don't I make this a shonen???"
Then that's it! I want to turn this idea into a shonen! The characters would not have powers, the fights between the participants would be more in touch with reality. Drones would have many different skills because they are machines and most of the fights would be with them! I thought in an age of sorts, merging the Drones' abilities with the wielders, like a mecha suit? I don't know if that would make sense :/
I'm still thinking about that age a bit, it just came to mind that the story I'm writing feels more like shonen than a generic battle royale/death game story!
But what do you think? Do you think it would be interesting?
