I thought this was a novella version of Squid Game. Like... how the main character Gi-Hun would play the role as one of the players in each game. And how he would escape from the VIPs, (especially Front Man). But it's not like that! From the title of the book itself, this one will give you the main points about Squid Game:
- Basic premise and plot of the show - Key characters and their motivations - Explanations of how each game is played - Themes and social commentary - Last, but not the least, why the show became so popular (the show's cultural impact).
Basically, I would say this is just a guide intended to give people a quick understanding of the Squid Game series.
