I read this series after watching Squid Game because it was an inspiration for the show. I was enthralled by the plot and characters of Liar Game even though they are fairly repetitive. There were also many times where I had difficulty keeping up with the mind games...

One of the characters is a slimy character who idealizes Hitler "before he went too far" and it made me a bit uncomfortable. He is presented as someone who the reader isn't supposed to like, but he is still a major character.
