Definitely liked this one better than the second volume, I don’t know if it had anything to do with it being new material (not in the anime) but regardless the whole werewolf concept on the beach was super interesting, but these “zombie” body modifications are a super stretch if I’ve ever seen one. The death games are so absurd I think you have to just enjoy it without thinking about the logistics at all, it’s a fantasy in my mind, obviously it’s not as grounded as squid games, but it is fun, and I think the lack of realism actually makes it more fun and less depressing. Same with the lack of gore.
