Kill the Joker: Survival Game
Community Rating
Description
Redemption is a fickle thing.
Nine detectives and nine serial killers find themselves playing a dangerous survival game of deductions, pretending, and - murder. With your life and alias on the line, what would you give up for a shot at redemption?
...
The main premise and kick of KtJ is that it is a guessing game of sorts. 18 high school students of various ages and backgrounds come together and are given aliases, such as "King", "Killer", or as the protagonist is aptly named - "Protagonist". They do not know each others' identities, and what's more - 9 of them are anonymous detectives, and 9 of them are serial killers.
The cast is given a list of their names, and a list of the identities of the serial killers and detectives they are being held hostage with, and are forced to interact to guess the identities. The people who are able to connect all identities will get "a special advantage" in the killing game, but it isn't specified what.
Alongside this, each cast member is given three secrets they are able to reveal at any point for an advantage in the killing game as well. However, one of these secrets is their name, and revealing that secret will result in a minor "punishment" as well.

- miserynovelRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0KtJ is a genuinely entertaining read. The large cast of fleshed-out and larger-than-life characters can be chaotic, but it's always fun, and the characterization is deeper than the surface. Every interaction feels like it has weight beyond the surface, and the mysteries of the characters' identities are an omnipresent shadow.
The writing is entertaining, and the plot is extremely unpredictable and interesting. Every twist feels well-executed, and the overarching mystery, though it's yet to be explored to a significant extent (the story is only 9 chapters long at time of writing this) it remains a constant subject of interest which keeps you reading.
So, basically, read Kill The Joker. - roadagainRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Wyn really came for my fucking life with this one and I don't think I'll ever forgive them for their crimes. Despite the fact that I feel like I died reading this it's an absolute joy of a story I would recommend to anyone, whether they like crime fiction or not
- 13lack12oseRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5At the time of writing this there are only 9 chapters released.
They are all awesome!
Galakei has outdone themselves with this quirky tale :)
