I enjoyed it, but 100% understand what you mean. For me., because I watched it dubbed, I chalk a lot of things up to that. If you did the same, and didn’t watch in original language, I think it is a factor. Things come across a bit differently, and translations are imperfect.

Definitely think they could have tightened it up by removing a ton of monologues, and flashbacks (though I quite like most of the flashbacks as they tended to reveal something about the characters that would be impossible otherwise).

I basically tend to go in expecting that any show I watch dubbed will come across a but strange, so I set my mind to watch around those oddities.

It too went in because I read the synopsis and wanted something like squid game. Battle royale type things are one of my favorite genres, so the first episode got me hooked. It didn’t maintain that level of quality for long…. But the end of season 2 was satisfying.

I watched in original. I have experienced the same issues with dubbed other stuff.

You understand Japanese? That’s dope. Good for you. Unless you are Japanese, in which case you understand English… and that’s dope, good for you.

No, not a language I know. Original with subtitles. I've tried watching dubbed over shows before. I much prefer subtitles, even if the voice over person might do a good job. Sorry for any confusion. I watch all shows, even ones in my original language with subtitles.
