I would definitely recommend the handmaids tale by margaret atwood, or 1984 by george orwell. Silo by Hugh Howie is another really good one and it’s a series of 3.

2. Series, teen-ish dystopian magic/ class issues? Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen series

Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Plenty to choose from, but Red Rising is the answer for a Hunger Games fan looking for more. Similar major themes and plot points in a broader universe.

If you want YA specific I would recommend Divergent by Veronica Roth, Article 5 by Kristen Simmons, Withered by Lauren DeStefano, Matched by Ally Condie or The Giver by Lois Lowry.
Otherwise I suggest Tender is the Flesh by Augustine Bazterrica

A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World
The Scythe series

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman and the audiobook is narrated by Jeff Hays.
A man. His ex-girlfriend’s cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.

They say it’s YA but as an adult, I liked the Divergent series. Def dystopian

Battle Royale did it first, and far more brutally.
