The story in the first game isn't bad by any means. I'd put it on about the same level as a Michael Crichton novel. Pulpy and outlandish at points, but ultimately a respectable sci-fi thriller. The twist that the zombies are living people suffering from a horrible infection and explicitly not reanimated corpses was genuinely innovative for the time too. I guess it was a lightning in a bottle moment because the stories in the following games rapidly devolve into just copying zombie cliches from Romero movies and piling ridiculous garbage straight from the toilet of Japanese television onto the plots. None of that impacts the gameplay though and they're still fantastic games. I just treat the story in the first game as a complete work that was never intended to start a series and don't really care too much about all the nonsense they later tried to tack onto it.
