Ever since she was born, she already knew that the life she'd lead would be far from what's normal... until her stupid cousin decided to 'protect' her by giving her a new life. But she wasn't stupid. She knew that one day, she'd have to go back to save his ass.

She needed to make friends--powerful friends. She needed people who would be of help when she needs protection. And where would she find powerful friends? In law school. The students there are the future presidents, senators, and congressmen of the country. She needed to be friends with powerful people...

SPOILER FREE REVIEW:
Sep 24, 2023 - changing my rating to a 3 cus I feel like masyado mataas 4 for this book after giving it some thought lol it was too glorified by the author pero when she released it na, ang disappointing lang


4/5 STARS ✨ I used about an hour to think of my rating and honestly I’m sticking to four. For awhile I thought it would be a 3 then it became a 4.2 but I went for a 4/5 rating. Nothing more, nothing less.

As a reader of beeyotch’s works, I could say that this book was a good read but wasn’t my favorite. I was able to read the book version of JTO and WIAE so I fully understand everything that was happening. ((NOTE: I suggest you read these 2 before you read ETG cause if not you’d encounter moments where you’ll be confused with what was happening, this book is not a stand alone based on my understanding.))

It being part of the game series was a bit confusing as it overlapped with more on the gdl/de marco side and less of the bgy/triplets, I’m not saying it was out of placed but I see from a standpoint that it was still somehow law related and more on the darker side and the crazy world of beeyotch stories i.e wiae and so, in the end, I gave it a four because the moral of the story was delivered but it was only satisfying to an extent. I was in content but yet it frustrated the hell out of me. I was at the edge of my seat reading chapters 36-epilogue 🤣 hence, I decided to give it a 4.


Do I recommend it: Sure, if you loved wiae and the game series, I think this book is worth reading for you. Just make sure you’ve read jto and wiae or ask someone info about these two books so that you wouldn’t be lost when you read ETG.

WITH SPOILERS:

Things I didn’t like/ wasn’t satisfied
* Open ended endings/ issues that were opened but never answered: the shit going on behind maven’s frat, gwen’s character, lorenzo getting all the attention and glory but his life ended on a climax that was too fast paced.
* The timeskips/fast paced events: Maven’s pov, abby pretending she forgot about them then deciding to meet with them in Singapore I mean okay, I understand that she now had the power to protect her family but I wanted her side of the story on this, I think the time skips were too fast + jumping from one issue to another had me confused ie; gwens to the frat issue to the drug related issue.
* Lorenzo during the book: he was so glorified on the book and in the end it felt like he didn’t get the ending he deserve (or at least I wasn’t satisfied cus avo and belinda was mentioned but that was kinda it. After that no more lorenzo, he didnt try to come after abby or at least try to get into malacañang even though abby mentioned it repeatedly hence the word “glorified” to describe lorenzo because we didn’t really see him in action which was disappointing.
* And last would be my expectation cus ETG for me was expect the unexpected and maybe I expected too much hence the dissatisfaction.
* Grammatical errors cause it was proofread and yet I still saw more than five errors + how some parts were written. (ie too vague)


Things I liked
* Mavery’s relationship (match made in heaven, so perfectly imperfect it was sickening 🤣)
* The overall message and lesson (abby’s pov on the epilogue was chefs kiss)
* The craziness of it all
* Abuela going crazy over abby lol
* Abby’s transformation (strong woman yern? I just freaking loved how she went from this is the end to oh wait I still have cards I can use + the irony of using what lorenzo taught her against him)
* Maven falling for someone who was more f-cked up than him
* Their little family at the end 🤣
* The part where avery just knew how to work the optics and how she stated that filipinos were too forgiving 👀


Hence, a 3.8 rounded off to 4/5 stars rating. Hopefully we get to see more of them in the De Marco series because their ending (for me) was too fast and hurried. Maven didn’t even have any dialogue just 2 words lol 🙌

We were given the wrong impression in ‘Just this Once’ everything we thought we knew went 180 which is I think the best for Genesis to be clueless for her safety. The fact that Abuela actually likes Abby?! and when Beatrice said: “Sinasabi ba naman sa akin na inaapi ko raw si Abby? In what world ko maaapi ang babae na iyon!"

When it comes to Avery Brienne Eliseo, everyone is obliged to kneel 🧎‍♀️🧎🧎‍♂️

I love the characters for the same reason I hate them. They are exactly the type of people I would despise in reality. There is a reason why the author chose to self-publish it in the books and not free on Wattpad.

I didn’t like what Avery did, but it’s just weird how some people thinks she manipulated him when in fact he exactly know what she was doing in the first place. He is not stupid and he know what he’s doing. So if you’ll drag Avery, might as well drag Maven too. Because they both let it happen. She WAS willing to support Maven and Jere from the dark. But what did he do? He still insisted because HE WANTED AVERY. He wants his family to be together.

When they met again, the annulment was already done for Maven and Gen. He could’ve chosen to raise Jere alone or just co-parent but no, he still chose to marry her so what’s not clicking?

Abby lived in a dark and violent universe (WIAE). We’re also given a heads up by the author that the characters will have questionable morals and don’t expect a redemption arc. But I loved how it was executed, it shows that you can’t just push people to change especially if that was the environment they were embedded in since childhood.

I feel sorry for mavgen shippers if they’ll know the reason why maven said “i really loved you” in front of avery’s door to purposely make her feel jealous. Because no matter what happens, Abby will always be the love of his life.

And for Avery Brienne, she love his boys, she love them in the way she knows how. She already said it before that if ever she will fall in love on Maven, she will do ANYTHING to protect them. That’s how she loves.

You can’t expect them (Maven and Avery) to be vocal about how they love each other simply because that’s not who they are but they do really love each other. I observed that their love language is definitely physical touch (Hugging, cupping the face, kissing etc.) Gosh, i want more chill MaVery scenes!

Abby was never strict with Jere. Maven said it himself that she wouldn’t agree to subject him in so many lessons on his early years. When he grew older, he became like his parents—quiet and reserved. Which makes sense bc he’s a freaking de marco. You can’t expect him to be a a walking jollibee. Not when you are the first grandchild, not when your parents are like…that lol.

Anyways… They are the End Game. They are untouchable.
So free Genesis. Parker and her deserve where they are right now.


Fave quote: “I just wanna know if you’re beyond redemption” and “When people show you who they are, believe them.”

This book is somehow connected to: When it All Ends, Play the Game and Control the Game.

PS. All the powerful de marco’s are women

I'm gonna be honest here, there are some things that I like in the story but they were overshadowed by me being lost due to a lot details that are not explained, side stories that I didn't know and the lack of build up.

This review (or rant, depends) is based on a point of view of someone na hindi pa nababasa ang Just This Once and When It All Ends (I read it once but I forgot the details na), cuz apparently, they are somehow connected to ETG. I wish someone told me before na basahin muna sila before reading this story and then maybe ETG will have its chance.

Plot — the story revolves Abby/Avery and her quest to find powerful connections in law school. If you're looking for a real plot between Abby and Maven, then it might disappoint you because Maven, in my opinion, is more of a side character only rather than one of the main characters. They hook up, no grand declarations of love compared to other stories in Game Series (which is okay for me btw but I know not for some), there's no chemistry between them due to the personality of each characters and Abby used Maven as a tool only for her plans. The mode and plot is more similar on NOWK rather than on ILWTG and PTG, and by the end of the story, I felt like ETG is in the wrong series. This is the reason why it took more than 100 pages for me to get into the "zone". Halfway through it, the suspense and mystery started to excite me (by this point, I already realized that there's no redeeming factor for Abby and there will be no grand happy endings between Maven and Abby) but then Maven's POV ruined any chance of me liking it.

I can't understand a thing. I really don't have an idea on what's happening. Maven's POV/Epilogue contains A LOT of details that I didn't know. Imagine this, you're a new-ish reader of the author and you haven't read her other stories from other series and this specific chapter is telling you a lot of side stories that you will only understand if you've read all the stories from different series. I feel like I was riding a roller coaster the whole time I was reading it (and I mean it in not in a good way), info per info, no build up or explanation for each and by the end of it, I was feeling lightheaded with zero understanding of what just happened. I feel like reading the last chapter, skipping Maven's POV and heading straight to Special chapter in Abby's POV made more sense, story/plot wise.

Overall, this is kind of darker side and I like how the author criticized the current administration through the views of her characters. The take-away message I learned while reading this is one of my favorites and I can give it 4 stars but the plot and flow of story? 2 stars.

I’m gonna be honest with this book.

It was exciting to finally read and get a hold of the book after for almost a year of waiting. The whole book’s in good writing but the story somehow was not what I have anticipated. I expected more I guess. I wasn’t able to appreciate Maven’s character because of his lacking appearance and representation. It’s more of Avery’s and her issues with her cousin. Also there’s not much “kilig” in it and couldn’t feel the romance between the characters. A little casual sex and flirting then voilà - back to cousin-issue. The ending just left me in confusion and lil headache 🙂

[leona reads · Rating 2 out of 5]

MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR GAME SERIES AND BEHIND EVERY MAN.

End The Game is very fast-paced. As in super. So fast that I finished it in a day. I’m a quick reader, but this felt even quicker than usual. For me, the problem wasn’t just the pace. It’s that, as a reader, I struggled to connect with the characters. I know there are details from earlier books that might help, but within this book, it just wasn’t enough. I didn’t feel invested in Avery that much, and that made it hard for me to "understand" where she's coming from. Yes, she needed to get close to Maven for her own reasons, but... what else? I do know that selfishness and greed are a big part of the story, which means some people will just do what they want because they want to. I was just looking for more.

---------------------------------
RE: BUILD-UP (OR THE LACK THEREOF)

I wish there was more build-up between Maven and Avery. Maybe the quick, chaotic pace was intentional, given the war-on-drugs theme, but the character work fell short. I never really felt close to Avery—I was just watching her from a distance. Honestly, this book felt disconnected from the main Game Series, and I agree with other reviewers: it probably would’ve fit better with When It All Ends, No One Will Know, or even as part of the de Marco/BEM series.

A big part of the struggle: you really have to read with an open mind, and, honestly, some background from previous books. It mentions Boe, Avo, and Parker (from Just This Once), which would confuse the readers who might've been hoping that reading the first two Game Series books are enough. But sadly, no.
---------------------------------

RE: SERIES CONTEXT & EXECUTION

I’ve read every book in the series and even support the author on Patreon, so I say this as a fan: this installment just felt underdeveloped. With a story this big, I wish it had at least 60 chapters so the plot and characters could breathe. The potential is there—the premise and prose are strong—but it needed more time. I also noticed that sometimes the dialogue is hard to follow. It has little narration in between, making it confusing to track who’s talking. That’s another reason the book felt rushed to me.
---------------------------------
RE: MAVEN'S ROLE

Readers online keep calling Maven a “plant”—like he���s just being shuffled around, first by Abby and then by his own family. You see it everywhere: Abby basically calls the shots, and Maven, instead of having agency, just reacts or turns a blind eye. Even his grandfather is depicted as being manipulated by his Abuela (This is not mentioned in the book afaik, but mentioned or implied in BEM and other GDL/dM series)

Another possible angle: maybe the intention was to show Maven as just as flawed, broken, or morally compromised as Abby—someone willing to turn a blind eye to abuse and corruption for the sake of his 'love' for Abby. If that’s the case, the book never fully explores that darkness. Instead, it keeps moving, never letting us sit with Maven’s choices, never letting him really face consequences or even articulate his own justification. Like he just turned a blind eye and continued to build his political career and family with Abby.

I realize now I probably hyped up Maven too much after Just This Once (Gen’s story). I expected more from him, honestly. I expected more from this book. But looking back—even from the start of this book—Maven has always been an enabler. Sure, he wasn’t the one directly doing the acts, but he knew what was happening (especially inside their frat), and he chose not to do anything about it. You see it in how he avoids going to parties, how he tries not to know the details, how he turns a blind eye to things.

It’s like he’d rather stay in his little bubble of denial as long as it doesn’t rock his own world. And I guess that’s why, in the end, his stance against Abby’s choices just crumbles so easily—because from the very start, enabling and ignoring have always been his way of coping. So maybe, in hindsight, the ending makes sense for Maven. Maybe he was never really going to stand firm, because he never did before. It’s just disappointing to see him become another bystander in his own story, or baka yun lang din talaga yung role niya haha.
---------------------------------

RE: ABBY’S CHARACTER

Abby is just a horrible person, honestly, not even “morally gray,” one. She's just straight up awful. This isn’t just moral ambiguity; this is a main character who is genuinely, irredeemably terrible.

What’s so frustrating is that the story never gives us a real reason to understand her, or even to care (and maybe we shouldn't haha??) It tries to toss in moments where you think there might be hope, like when Maven brings her to meet drug victims, hoping to change her mind or save her soul. But Abby doesn’t shift at all. She just doubles down, and by the end, she’s running the same drug business that Maven (in the start) hated.

I know sometimes books want us to see how broken or damaged a character is because of their environment, trauma, or whatever—but with Abby, we don’t even get that. There’s no deep dive into her psyche, no real exploration of her backstory, no moment where she even considers remorse. She does these objectively terrible things (like pretending to care for her own son, or choosing power over any sort of redemption), but the book never lets us sit with those choices, or really see the fallout.

Compared to someone like Nadia from Behind Every Man—who, despite all her issues, I was able to get her. Abby, on the other hand, just moves from one terrible thing to the next, and the narrative barely pauses to acknowledge it.

Maybe that’s the point—maybe Abby isn’t supposed to be redeemable, or even sympathetic. But for me, it just made her flat. It’s not about liking her or forgiving her; it’s about wanting to understand, or at least feel something about her journey. Instead, I just watched her bulldoze through the story, destroying everything in her path, and felt nothing but frustration at the wasted potential for real, layered conflict.

---------------------------------

WHAT I WOULD'VE LOVED TO SEE

Better pacing and the depth given to both the main characters and the antagonists. I wish the story slowed down enough for us to actually sit with these characters and their choices. For Maven, I wanted to see him truly struggle with his own morals—not just enable, but actually wrestle with the consequences of loving someone like Abby, and face real fallout for his actions (or lack of action). Give him a moment where he’s forced to choose, and actually show us his thought process and internal conflict.

For Abby, I would’ve loved to get more insight into her psyche. If she’s going to be an irredeemably horrible person, then let’s go all in—show us the trauma, the reasoning, or even just the twisted logic that keeps her going. Give us a chance to understand her, even if we’ll never agree with her. I wanted at least one moment where the story forced Abby to confront what she’s done—make her feel something, even if it’s only for a second, instead of just moving on from one violent act to another with zero remorse.

With Lorenzo, I wish the book spent more time making him feel like a real threat. Build him up, make us fear him the way we feared Kier in Play The Game or the Villamontes in Defy The Game. Give him that presence, that energy, that actually makes the reader’s heart race when he’s on page.

Most of all, I wish the relationships—especially Abby and Maven’s—had more space to develop. Right now, it just feels like chaos and thrill, with little depth or genuine connection. I wanted to see their dynamic unfold slowly, for the romance (or whatever it is) to be believable, not just something that happens in the background while bigger things are going on. More real conversations, more conflict, more moments that make me feel why these two are drawn together, aside from just infatuation or adrenaline.

On a personal note, I’m honestly so happy that Genesis isn’t part of their family anymore. As someone who suffers from second lead syndrome, I secretly wished Genesis would end up with Maven. I don’t even know why, I just felt like they deserved a shot, or at least that Genesis deserved better. Seeing her finally out of the family actually made me breathe a sigh of relief.

Honestly, even just 20 or 30 more chapters could have made a difference. Let the story breathe, give us room to care, and actually build up the tension and emotional payoff the premise deserved. End The Game had so much potential—I just wish it had taken the time to reach it.

Trying hard. Disappointing. Not well written.

If I have to describe this book, these are the words I would like to use. The moment I read the prologue, I can feel it already but I gave it a chance. It went well somehow but it really lack of details. Very shallow. It was very hard to connect with the story. Not even with the main characters. Both Maven and Avery were contradicting. No proper build up for their characters.

There were names mentioned on the story that didn't make sense. No context. No background to know them, atleast. And it became worst at the end. The book is not redeemable just like the protagonist.

It looked like it wasn't edited or proofread. Lots of errors especially in punctuation marks.

Compared to the other two books before ETG, this is the worst. Very trying hard. I don't understand what happened to Eydee's writing here. The concept is nice but she failed miserably for this one.

[nels · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ang fast-paced to the point ang hanging na nang narration sa ibang events lalo na lot of details were vague. Transitions were also not of help since not smooth. I expected din na this story can stand on its own kahit hindi basahin iyong wiae kasi under game series, but to disappoint it cannot as well. So kailangan pang mabasa ang WIAE if you don't want any hang moments and so you'd be familiar sa side characters and their back stories which were connected and mentioned sa latter parts ng ETG. To end this, ayon I had high expectation for this book 'cause I waited quite long. Sayang lang na I haven't got to read more of Avery's life alone after the crash and Mavery's after they reunited.

[Kierra · Rating 3 out of 5]

when you're waiting for a character development and all you get is the opposite, I'm hoping that someone will knock out these two, maybe Tali will do that.

it's so wrong to level Maven to BGY's standard, they didn't have a moral compass to begin with, and that's the bare minimum. they said there's good in evil and there's bad in good, but these two are just purely evil, but who am I to judge when the two were raised different. I just expected that they're be different, hence the reverse character development. also, I'm having a hunch that Avery has a mental illness, kawawa si Jere. avery is evil and maven is tolerating Avery's evilness, which is also the same.

[tine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ang daming kulang na details, wala man lang background about kay Lorenzo. Sino si Avo, si Belinda? There were characters mentioned that are not really relevant, basta nabanggit lang. Hindi ko magawang makaramdam ng kung ano sa mga bida 🙃 Wala talagang redemption kay Avery. Kulang sa background bakit ganun siya? Si Maven na dakilang enabler. He’s no different from those bad people.

Siguro kung nag update ito sa wattpad, mas better kakalabasan. Kaso parang minadali. Sayang character ni Maven, excited pa naman for him pero ganun lang pala.

Hindi ata pang Game Series itong story nila, pwede pa sa De Marco series.

3/5

[Adrianna Irish · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I loved the concept and the plot, there is something that lacked in how the book was written. Similar to Wreck the Game, ETG has failed to execute the conflict properly which was disappointing considering the heightened puffery of the characters and the book itself. Still a lot to improve plot-wise and hopefully, by the next reprint (BOD versions), it has already been thoroughly proofread considering the hefty price they would pay for.

[fame · Rating 2 out of 5]

i was told to not expect anything from this bc it was meh and disappointing, but still, i did expect, bc game series has always been one of the best law series out there. but then i guess i should've just listened to them.

concept was good. beeyotch was so brave to write something like this. loved how she criticized the former administration's "war on drugs" through this book; however, it was not thoroughly discussed. sayang.

most of the scenes were not executed properly. most of the time i was like "that's it?" and/or "what the fuck just happened". pacing was kinda fast that it failed to execute the story well. some supposed to be "exciting" parts just left me hanging with a lot of unanswered questions.

as someone who has read jto first before this, i felt really really bad for genesis. girl was literally dragged into the de marco clan's mess particularly maven's for nothing. girl was fed up with fucking lies. girl was robbed of spending her supposed to be happy & married life with parker, the man she truly loved. genesis deserved BETTER. genesis and parker deserved better. i hated maven for consistently saying that he couldn't do anything about the things going in his family.

as for avery, i was really fascinated by her in the first few chapters. her determination to get every thing and everyone in her way got my interest. i thought there will be a character redemption for her but i was mistaken. i wouldn't say that it was "okay", i think it's just matter of fact and acceptance that not all characters are meant to be "good" or "morally right".

tbh, it kinda doesn't feel like a part of game series. it's more like something similar to WIAE (havent read this yet but the characters fr this book were actually mentioned in ETG) and NOWK. the story barely even touched the lives of mavery as law students (mostly about sa frat lang), unlike the other installments of the series.

rating this two stars does not totally mean that it was bad, it was just lacking in some ways. my disappointment with the characters, esp maven, is also one of the reasons. man was indeed a hypocrite lmfao. the way he was introduced in jto was so not him 💀 nonetheless, i still would like to commend beeyotch for writing this book. the relevance of the plot in our society was one thing i really loved about this. now i understand why she decided not to publish it online.

[turtle · Rating 3 out of 5]

okay im giving this a 3 out of 5 because what the hell was THAT MISS ARIESA!?/!!


things i was confused as hell:

1. the time skips. what actually happened to Lorenzo? What happened to the airport? How did Abby planned everything? Everything was very vague.
2. Everything is fast-paced. From gwen's issue, to the sorority, to Lorenzo and Warren's business, to de marco's presidency impeachment, to Abby's sudden disappearance, and lastly, Abby's amnesia and how Maven forgave her THAT FAST
3. Lorenzo and Abby's family background. I was confused as HECK when i read the first chapter! Who are the Eliseos and the del Rios? How did Lorenzo became a crazy psychopath? What truly is abby and lorenzo's relationship? And who really is warren?
4. Belinda and Avo. WHO THE HELL ARE THEY? And why aren't they there when Abby and Lorezo mentioned them? even if Abby tried to use their names against Lorenzo, at least explain what really is there between them! I literally just imagined their whole being to try and put two and two together just to understand the situation lmao
5. Just the whole Lorenzo thing. Who really is he? Why is he such a lutanic? Why is he doing this? I was very disappointed on how he died because I thought he's THAT powerful and that he wouldnt die such an easy death. Abby glorified him as a God but he died just like that? THAT EASY? REALLY?
6. How poorly written Maven is in this book. I always think of him as this genius de marco when i read the first two books of the game series but,, him being a lawyer here is very lacking. I want to hear more of him being called Atty. de Marco, please!! I want him to really fight for justice!!

things i liked:
1. Maven - how he's always so calm, he's just... UGH MAVEN DE MARCO!!!
2. The relationship buildup of Abby and Maven! As much as i hate what happened to Abby (she disappoints me the most), i loved their relationship. if only the author gave us more :(

so thats it. 3/5 for this one! (i really thought this book will be one of my favorite book from this series but :((( i guess i was really expecting a lot!)

omg this book is literally batshit crazy. every chapter managed to surprise me until the very end. to say that i was frustrated the whole time while reading this is an understatement.

maven and avery really are made for each other, huh? i used to think maven and genesis were good together but after all that?? hmmm. i will say, before the final “act”, mavery’s relationship was kinda cute especially their banter even though they both knew each other’s dirty little secrets deep down.

my favourite scene would have to be the ultrasound scene. putting everything aside that was happening around them, it felt so pure and vulnerable.

avery is A KRAZY GIRL!! she really used the uno reverse card on lorenzo 😭

and can i just share:

“Do you think I’m your first love?”

“I think you’re the love of my life.”

I SCREAMED!!! I CRIED!!!! I THREW UP!!!! I GIGGLED LIKE AN IDIOT!!!! I KICKED MY FEET LIKE AN IDIOT!!!!!

I may have loved Maven from his previous appearances in the previous books. However, this book was like riding a pirate ship ride. It would very slowly take you from the top and when you've reached the peak it would abruptly drop you and from then it would continue to make you feel the ups and downs of the characters. At times the book made me feel relieved that finally, all the suffering will finally end or that at least it all the wickedness will finally stop but no I was wrong. Character and character development-wise it wasn't the best, but I guess it is what makes it more realistic. Realistic in a way that made me think that maybe we would always choose where we will benefit the most, regardless of who it would affect and how much it would cost not only for yourself but also for others. Regardless, of my takeaways about the story, it does not change the fact that the storytelling and writing were impeccable.

[Akane · Rating 3 out of 5]

Had super high expectations kay Maven kasi nagustuhan ko siya as Maven sa JTO and cameo niya sa lahat ng books like High Mighty Maven (aside from his own story and HTG kasi ang shit niya). Also had a phase as a MavGen shipper, pero epal si Abuela kailangan ipakasal pa sila. Display lang si Maven dito sa story niya lol, basta patay na patay siya kay Abby periodt. He really had his hopes up na magbabago si Abby but wala eh, love is blind talaga kahit sa illegal shits ni Abby. Walk him like a dog, Abby. However, the story is good aside from the characters themselves (realistic, I think?) as it tackles the war on drugs, which happened talaga here, also an eye-opener talaga.
