I don't usually write reviews but I guess this series deserve one, as the rest are kinda old ones. This is a spoiler free review:

Story:
The story is kind of generic at start, especially the first five chapters, but oh boy, does it take a big turn. The story develops in one of the best stories I have ever seen/read.
It nails each and everything it uses, the romance, the battle of wits, the twists, the characters, the art.
10/10

Art:
Nothing much to say for art but it is fantastic. It feels dark and amazing.
9/10
...
Characters:
Now this is the strongest aspect of this series, the characters are absolutely fantastic. the Main character is one of best character I've seen. His dark persona and his twisted methods of doing good is a treat to watch.
Each and every characters have a good character development. We get backstories of how most of the characters ended up like in the series.
10/10

Enjoyment:
I really enjoy this manga and it's one of my favorite to exist. I would definitely recommend this manga if you are a fan of mind games and battle of wits with the dark and twisted story mixed in.
10/10

Overall:
10/10

This manga is too predictable you just know what’s going to happen, and as others have said I admit it’s cringe how the administrators are always like “ooh its Yuuji he’s a monster” “he’s so evil” like just let us see with our own eyes and form a judgment of him you don’t have to repeat it 100 times, even tho that’s cringe I like Yuuji because he’s different from others MC of this type of genre, likes he’s not this innocent MC that’s afraid of hurting others. I tried to like this manga but it’s just too predictable y’all talk about “sudden twists” but ... if you’ve been into this genre before you just know where it’s going, I liked it at first ngl but I feel that with this manga you have to go with an empty mind so you don’t spoil yourself, what I mean by this is I found myself thinking “oh I bet this is going to happened” and then it happened.

It feels like a crime for this to have such an overwhelmingly positive feedback on this site. I'll keep it simple, so you don't have to waste even a fraction of your time as i did.

This is the dumbest, most wannabe cool and edgy, disgusting piece of media not only in all of the death game nieche, but i'd say in all of manga. I don't measure words by saying it, it just throws around a shit ton of very delicate or gruesome topics very poorly dealt with every single chapter and of course, PLOT TWISTS. This series just lives by its plot twists, and ... not in a good way: every single chapter, and i mean it, has at least one ridiculous plot twist that is in no way smart or genuine-feeling, but a mere facade of the most absurd thing possible to put a mask of an intelligent manga. It is NOT. The characters are not, the writer is not. I honestly don't know how the author has a job.

I mean, the entirety of the story is meant to be a critique to society's values and especially so called "friendships", but you know why it doesn't manage to do even that? BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE MAIN CHARACTER IS A PIECE OF SHIT. Of course their damn friendship is a lie, they're all assholes for god's sake. And i don't mean like, normal egotistical human beings who could betray a friend over large quantities of money or something, they're all Jeffrey Dahmer level of sociopaths

"So why do i keep reading?" i shit you not, to have a pinpointed example of everything i shouldn't do when creating my own fiction. And because if this can be very poorly and mildly entertaining, it comes from laughing at how bad it can get.

Redeeming points? I mean i like Shinomiya Kei's personality, and personality alone. That's it, really.

Don't read this. At all. You want death games done well? Have Kaiji, Usogui, Liar Game, Akagi, there's too many honestly, just don't pick this i beg you
