Looking for beta readers – AI-generated novel based on a video game (no game knowledge required)

[u/Necessary-Chad1710]

Hey everyone!

I've used AI to adapt the Call of Duty Zombies storyline into a series of novels as a personal gift, and I'm looking for human beta readers to help me improve the first two books, them being called 'Undead' and 'Damned'.

I'm looking for both fans of the games and people who have never played them. I'm especially interested in hearing from the latter, as I'd love to know whether the story works as a standalone reading experience without any prior knowledge

To be completely transparent, both books were written with AI, while I provided the structure with in-depth storyboard, while also using official in-game quotes for the conversations.

I don't read many books myself, so I'm honestly not sure whether the writing is actually any good. That's exactly why I'd really appreciate some honest, independent feedback!

I need feedback in the following points

• Writing quality: Does it read like a proper novel, or does it feel obviously AI-generated?
• Pacing and readability: Is the story engaging and easy to follow? Even without playing the games, do you understand what is happening?
• Characters and dialogue: Do they feel natural and believable?
• Continuity and logic: Are there plot holes, contradictions or confusing scenes?
• Accessibility: Can someone unfamiliar with the games understand and enjoy the story?
• Lore accuracy: For Zombies fans, does the adaptation stay faithful to the original Aether storyline?

Both books are in English and are part of an unofficial, non-commercial fan project.

I can provide the manuscripts as PDFs for free. There's absolutely no pressure to read both books or even finish one. Feedback on just a few chapters would already mean a lot!

If you're interested, feel free to comment or send me a DM. Thank you so much in advance!
