Hey'a!—It's UelUel, the lazy and lousy PoruShark Writer.
If you take the time to read this Auxiliary Chapter, thanks a ton for reading my book: Lycoris Undead.
Let's dive into a little discussion about the book itself, focusing on its inspiration, lore, main and supporting characters—along with their references.

Inspiration & Background
First of all, this book was inspired by my Fanfic, Extra in Highschool of the Dead, and of course, the original story of Highschool of the Dead.
On that note, I would like to clarify that this isn't a Fanfic. I won't be using any characters or plots from the original Highschool of the Dead story to avoid copyright or plagiarism.
However, my original zombie apocalypse lore that I used in my fanfic Extra in Highschool of the Dead is reused in this story.
So, for readers of my fanfic, you can consider this as a sequel set 100 years later in the future.
Aside from my Fanfic and Highschool of the Dead, this story also takes inspiration from anime and manga such as Kaiju No. 8 and Chained Soldier, along with games like Wuthering Waves, Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin Impact, and Blue Archive.

Lycoris Undead – Lore
Corpse Flower, an experimental super-soldier enhancement drug that caused the undead outbreak which wiped out 99.99 percent of the world's population.
Disguised—or rather, misused—as an effective morning-after pill, Corpse Flower turned incompatible women into the first undead, spreading the outbreak across the world and bringing the 21st century into a dark age.
But even the darkest cloud has a silver lining.
Among the remaining 0.01 percent of the world's population, there were women who were compatible with Corpse Flower.
The drug turned them half-undead, granting them strength equal to genetically enhanced super-soldiers. The Energy stored in their wombs also gave them access to Supernatural Abilities.
The women who claimed the title Corpse Flower weren't the only ones who rose up to fight the threat of the evolving undead. Chosen men, through love and lust, earned the title of Alpha, gaining a portion of power by being infected through intimacy with their half-undead lovers.
And to bring hope and salvation, certain girls exist whose blood holds the power to turn the tide of war against the undead—girls known as Lycoris.
After a hundred years of raging war, humanity finally began reclaiming the capital cities of old countries, building strongholds known as Florescence Academy, dedicated to training Corpse Flowers and Alphas.
Yet a new threat soon arises—an UndeadCorpse Flower who has remained asleep for a hundred years, and whose blossoming could end the world.

Final Thoughts
This story has the Harem genre, of course. It also includes R18 and Smut between the MC and his lovers.
There will be no NTR or Incest—not that the romance between the MC and his stepsisters would be considered incest anyway, since they aren't his blood relatives.
Yuri will exist among the supporting female characters, as well as among the MC's lovers.

If you're interested in a classic fantasy adventure story, please read my original book Days of Dungeon: From Simple Quest to Strange Adventure.
And lastly, if you're interested in a romance fantasy system story that includes genres like Slice-of-Life, R18, Harem, and Smut, please read my original book Returner Fantasy.
