I honestly disliked Squid Game a lot. The MC has serious Gary Stu vibes due to surviving despite his best efforts to fail. The plot itself feels like someone made their own version of the Liar Game manga, which does almost the same thing, but far more intelligently. The most intelligent thing that happens in Squid Game was the guy who is effectively an extra who just happens to know something about one of the games, but conceals this in a way that screws himself over pointlessly. That appears to be the main theme of the show so far, because nearly every character does something like that. I have a bet with myself that the next installment will be the MC suddenly discovering that they could've been cooperating against the people running the game the entire time.
