One characteristic is intense competition. For example, in 'The Running Man' (if considered as a novel - based on the movie which has a novel - like plot), the protagonist has to win against all other contestants. If he wins, others lose everything. There's no middle ground.
Well, 'Ender's Game' also has elements of a zero - sum game. Ender has to outperform his opponents in the battle school simulations. His victory is often at the cost of others' defeat, and the story is built around this competitive and zero - sum nature.
One key element is the clear opposition between the parties involved. In a zero sum game, one side's gain is the other side's loss. So, in the fanfiction, you should see characters or groups with conflicting goals. For example, two kingdoms fighting for the same territory.
Well, 'Zero Sum Showdown' is another great one. In this fanfiction, the zero sum game is set in a post - apocalyptic world. The characters fight for limited resources, and the story is full of unexpected twists and turns. It keeps you on the edge of your seat as you wonder who will come out on top in this cut - throat zero sum game.
A '3 sum' in a story about community building could be three individuals from different backgrounds. One is a young entrepreneur, another is an old - timer with a lot of local knowledge, and the third is a social worker. They come together to revitalize a neighborhood park. The entrepreneur brings in resources, the old - timer provides historical context and community support, and the social worker organizes the community participation. Their combined efforts transform the park into a vibrant and inclusive space.

, I recommend the following novels to you. They are all excellent supernatural novels, not the TL genre:
1. [Life and Death Boundary Stone: An unidentified girl seeks the secret of her birth and the truth of life and death. Is the boundary stone in the dream an opportunity or an obstacle?] the supernatural and suspenseful direction.
2. "Coin Jump": Fang Tong was an out-and-out Taoist believer who fought against evil spirits and impure things in his own way. It wasn't a traditional light supernatural story.

The combination of modern cultivation and supernatural transmigration.

The above is my personal recommendation. I sincerely hope you like it ~
The Last Lecture was a novel by Somerset Maugham. It was set in the 19th century British society and revealed the social class division and the gap between the rich and the poor through a young man. The novel reflected the complexity and contradiction of human nature with profound thoughts, real characters and delicate descriptions. It was praised as one of Maugham's representative works.
