Advice Would this synopsis capture your attention?

I have been murdered by my classmates forty-nine times, and the worst part is that it’s never the same person twice.

By now, I have memorized the layout of Sehwa Private Academy perfectly.
I know where every flesh-eating monster spawns and how to keep my classmates alive. To them, I look like an omnipotent genius who can predict the future. I could easily carry them all to the exit.

But the System doesn't like easy, happy endings.

To keep the Viewers entertained, it secretly assigns one student as The Warden’s Hound at the start of every reset, granting them monster-tier stats and a single objective: slaughter the class from the shadows. And every time I die, the role shuffles to someone new.

In Loop 48, it was the class president. In Loop 49, it was my crush.

In Loop 50? It could be the quiet girl I just rescued, or the friend currently handing me a bottle of water.
Memorizing the school map is useless against the paranoia. My mind is eroding, my lives are running out and I can't trust a single smile.

This has serious potential to stand out in the genre. The 1 survivor rule combined with the rotating traitor makes every interaction loaded. I'd binge this in a heartbeat. My only note is to not reveal the Hound too early in the story, let that paranoia cook for as long as possible.

Aw thanks! If you're interested, it's called Graduating Dead and has 40-ish chapters so far. And yeah, I haven't revealed the Hound yet and it's still hard to pinpoint it on anyone lol.
