The fifth book of The King's Game series...what can I say about this book? The concept and some of the ideas are refreshing and interesting enough, and it's always nice to see the lives of all the high school students from the entire Japan being in danger, guess what? There's some Battle Royale look-alike survival game style of students turning against each other and mass killing in the name of survival too! So entertaining!
I'm not going to lie, I enjoy reading this book, the same way you enjoy eating fast food which can do no good to your body. The King's Game is a fast read and a page-tuner and it can easily keep you entertained enough to finish the whole thing in one go. However, there's still no denying that the writing and the quality of this book is trashy no matter how you look at it:
(1) The Arch Villain is killing people and using The King's Game to threat to overturn the whole society because My goodness...someone please tell me I'm reading a fanfiction instead of a published novel...
(2) The explanation for the origin of The King's Game: yeah, finally we have some explanation for this King's Game thingy, but in the end it turns out And it's supposed to explain away why students from all over Japan is getting weird messages from their cell phones and if they failed to obey what those messages tell them to do (e.g. kill other people, kill their parents or schoolmates, etc), they would die in different terrible ways? Are you joking?
(3) The main characters are all cardboard-cutouts and they are also the perfect examples of walking, breathing cliches. I don't even want to go into details about it...let's just say one of the MCs suddenly decides to trust a girl whom he had just met (mind you, said MC had survived a round of students killing each other ordeal), then falls in love with her .
(4) The ending: basically it's just a Big Sign of "READ THE SEQUEL!!!"
(5) At one point, 1,500,000 Japanese students failed to obey the King's order and they were punished...by bleeding to death... and those kids all know they're going to die if they failed. You think the society is going to turn into a living Hell? No. There're some killing and robbing...but the craziness and hopelessness of the situation is never driven home.
(6) The rules and setting of The King's Game seems confusing and the rules seems to be always changeable: for a few times, the rules of The King's Game changes all of a sudden---just to create more loopholes for certain characters to die/survive and other BS.
Am I going to read the sequels? Sadly I think I am, just because this book isn't as bad as some of the installments in the series and hell, you just need to eat fast food once in a while.
