Honestly ,I have a lot of questions about this series. The entire foundation is on the concept of "debt" but once everyone dies and the winner walks out of the game, what about the debt of the dead people? Has no one ever made ANY kind of correlation between SO many people missing ,like 500 of them each game since this game is conducted more than once a year and has been happening for a decade or so. We can deduce this from when the police officer enters the file room and the files are numbered based on the year and there are multiple files for the same year.

If you have seen hunger games, maze runner, divergent,Alice in borderland and the likes, you won't find this very shocking. You know who will win, you will also predict certain twists except for the ONE! So I personally found it dramatic since I have grown numb to the emotional scenes in such series and so had to skip through certain parts. There were parts that I felt were dragged beyond limit .

Coming back to the missing people aspect, how did so many people vanish and the Central intelligence in the country never had an investigation on this? Or not even a conspiracy theory existing on this? Now the reason I focused on the conspiracy theory is that the first time about 100 players left the game, the mc goes to the police narrates his experience and they find it ridiculous. Since he got out anyway, he should've made an attempt to find out about any similar occasions but no, maybe because it isn't the scope of the movie? But he got out AND there is a police trying to find this brother so atleast he(police) should've noticed some pattern around the time his brother vanished and similar other missing cases across country? Why wasn't that pov explored?
