I really like this so far! It's super exciting and has lots of fighting action/gore. The romance so far seems to be slow burn.

MC and ML are both strong and capable. ^_^

The premise is based off of hunger games/battle royale, except the players/contestants are "criminals". The setting is a dystopia in the future, with a disparity between the rich and poor. The "Killing Show" is the title of the program and the players are either bound by indenture contracts or taken from prisons. It is a survival/war type game where players are separated into by gender and randomly selected into teams. The killings are viewed as entertainment, but despite that, the players are not usually bloodthirsty types. Rather most just want to survive. When the players are not in the game, the players are in a surreal entertainment circle environment. They are treated like celebrities and are required to attend interviews, etc. The game masters decide and invest upon a player, creating plot and etc for the audience. Each player is not strictly a killer; the teams are made up of others in supporting positions like sniper, etc. In gaming terms, the MC is a dps/killer type while the ML is a tactician/planning analyst type.

The MC is described as originally someone kind/gentle, but growing up, he became someone very dangerous. MC is sorta a yandere type, as he smiles alot and looks friendly but can kill you. So far ML's background is not completely revealed, but he is very detached and objective. ML is very smart, and he doesn't like to attract attention from the game masters, so he's always trying to downplay his presence in front of the media. Both MC and ML are characters who have psychological scars, (reference to the sjb aspect in the summary) and through interacting with each other, they start to rely on each other. ^^

So far the plot seems centered around the fighting. But when they aren't in the game, they have to fight against the maneuverings of the rich bosses behind the scenes of the killing show. Ppl who like survival/fighting/zombie/dystopia type genres will like this one. MC and ML are very strong. (Not weak chickens) Of course, they aren't OP and have alot of flaws so they depend on each other.

Okay okay. I don’t like commenting so early on a book. Number 1, I want the author to stick to this story because I’m invested. 2, I’m captivated by the introduction to the characters and 3 the little twist in ch.11 shook me. Now I’m dying to know more. I look forward for the updates everyday.

The tags are very misleading.  91 chapters of mental abuse, actual torture, social isolation, and rape.  Yet still somehow called \"Sweet\" ??    This isn't a romance. it's a tragedy.  Needs an ending.   Hoping John faces some huge painful repercussion. There needs to be a climax and catharsis after all this because the excellent writing style is being trumped by a painful going-nowhere story where the male lead and his family are all irredeemable.

Circles need to stop, the frustration is real. Can we please get to the actual story between the couple and the children. When are the boys going to tell Estella that they are Byron’s son too or they tell him since rose is a chicken shit: something has to change it’s getting boring and annoying
