Recs if you like Shall Machines Divide the Earth (Machine Mandate, #3)...

Books I saved from my TikTok feed that were labelled as Science Fiction!

A list of books (both fiction and non-fiction) featuring LGBTQ+ characters and/or theme, written by authors from Southeast Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam). Will be edited continuously. Pinned comment list down the books and the countries/author's origin.

Not necessarily a recommendation/endorsement.

Books that feature Death Games, like the ones in Suzanne Collins' "Hunger Games" or Koushun Takami's "Battle Royale". Anything where the protagonist - willingly or not - finds themselves in a game/game like trial where they are risking their lives and, in some cases, are expected to kill others as well.

(As always with my lists, most of the books here are queer)
