If you're like me then you know that the people you hang out with in real life and make an effort to be around are your true friends. This means that when you get sucked into a sadistic video game that kills you when you run out of followers you know that you will have at least a few people that have your back. Yet these people that had 2000 followers act surprised when people don't want to risk their lives for you. All you did was click to accept a friend request dude. If we haven't at least run from cops together I'm not risking my life for you.

Now that they're in the death game the story revolves around showing off the true depth of its characters while being put into life or death situations. Now it is a strange mixture of talented story telling mixed with mediocre characters. If it continued that way then the story would be somewhat enjoyable but not living up to its true potential.

Then I can only imagine a thought appeared in the creator's head. "Jeez I can do way better than this!" The story then takes on a game of thrones style and switches viewpoints. The new cast appeal beats the old cast appeal like Batman against street thugs. Poor old cast never stood a chance.

However while the story does manage to do things right it also has its shares of faults. One is it has one of the biggest plot holes I've ever seen. You could see it from the freaking moon without squinting. I'm talking Harry Potter Time Turner could solve every problem plot hole. While it didn't ruin the series for me it has hampered it greatly. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I won't reveal it but ask questions to yourself and you'll find it quick. A second is that the author doesn't really have a mastery of foreshadowing. Plot developments come quick and from nowhere. Last there have been characters that rapidly shift in personality which would be great, IF IT WAS FORESHADOWED. Hidden Depths only work it there was some indication that something was hidden.

As it is the series isn't bad but with a few tweaks and edits could've been great.
