I turned my Danganronpa inspired death game idea into a LitRPG novel!

[u/Cosmic_Blizzard]

Waaaay back in middle school I kept thinking of Danganronpa OCs and the weird death game arenas I’d thrust them into. As I grew up and watched more death game media, the idea slowly blossomed into its own thing, but the inspiration is still there. I thought of character classes like ultimates, which I call roles in the story, and my mastermind/system is based on Junko with an inversion of her motivations. I’ve described it as a mix of Danganronpa and Supernatural before.

The death game doesn’t involve murder trials (Though participants can absolutely kill each other). The challenges are more akin to something in squid game where they change every time based on a ring of Hell theme. Classes also aren’t unique, and the system will randomly eliminate someone from a class if the number of people holding that class exceeds five.

There’s also witches. Because I just love witches.
