The Killing Vote and Trigger share similar pretenses: involving the public, giving them a choice, and the resultant of deaths. Both MCs are Police Officers who do things in unconventional ways, and the enemy is closer than what they think. Both shows delve into the morality of taking justice into their own hands instead of relying on the law. Both shows have an emotionally driven plot, which makes them quite similar. For a more level-headed, calculative but risk-taking MC: Trigger is perfect. For a more impulsive, emotional and risk-taking MC: The Killing Vote is my rec!

It really feels like both *If Wishes Could Kill* and *Pyramid Game* hit the same nerve. They show how regular students, who seem totally normal at first, can slowly get pulled into really harsh situations where they have to change just to keep going. It’s not even about big dramatic twists—it’s more about that uncomfortable feeling of watching someone lose a part of themselves because of pressure, fear, or the need to survive. That’s why they feel so similar… they make you think, “If I were in their place, would I end up doing the same thing?” and that thought just kind of lingers.
