ok i figured it out and it's actually pretty fun with other players just as long as they dont die on purpose also what does nuzlock free for all do and what happens if everyone dies? does it just force a reset?
I dont know why.. but this mod doesnt load the custom characters anymore in CS 1.16.1 making it very unplayable to me.
This mod is a good idea, especially with the amount of characters available and the character select API

But i've got criticism:

First issue:
If you reset it deletes your save, this is not told anywhere. This should be told in the description of the mod or in the Nuzlocke menu. Maybe try to look up how Mario Hunt does it, as it does not reset the save of hosts.

Second issue:
This mod does not understand the fundamental design principles of a Nuzlocke.
A Nuzlocke is a mode where you DON'T CHOOSE your character, you unlock characters at random, letting the game decide who you play as, this forces the player to try new characters they would otherwise never try, leading to improvements, clever play and new found appreciation for a character.
This also mean Storytelling. Especially for content creator.

Currently, you're able to choose whoever you want. What happens is that players will choose their favorite or the best character. Sure if theyre not very good they will lose it, but they will slowly go through their favorites until they arrive at the least liked.

You can also only have one character at a time, Nuzlockes let you have multiple characters. This lets players feel less restrictive and maybe change characters on the fly if they don't want to risk their current best character.

Improvements:
Options! What if characters don't get locked when another player loses? What if you could use Characters with movesets? Im not sure i like the UX of the mod, There could be better way to showcase who is locked and who is not than with an armature character (there could also be a design for this character if you wish to keep this system).
Character Select can do custom CS Menus! This could be interesting for the UX (Look at the Anton & Annie Pack).
There's way more options and customisability you can do with this mode.

Overall, it's playable! But it's not a true Nuzlocke. it does not feel as risky as a Nuzlocke. It does not feel rewarding since you're not challenged. Also it's pretty basic in UX and features.
