* AudienceAlienatingEnding: Fans have difficulty telling ''when'' [[CreatorBacklash the creator just wanted the series to end]], but few question that at some point he checked out. The result was a lackluster final game that [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot appeared to be setting up a far better conclusion]] with [[spoiler:the players fixing the game to never end, effectively turning it into the players vs the Liar Game itself]], but then the manga suddenly and abruptly ended. The final chapter consisted mainly of [[FanDislikedExplanation a plain-language explanation for everything in the series]], including [[AssPull concepts never seen in the series at any point]], and abruptly reveals the BigBad and his organization to be GoodAllAlong and the whole game a FalseCrucible, despite this completely contradicting their prior behavior and cheapening all the tension of the prior chapters since nothing was actually at stake. Then the organizers [[AntiClimax let everyone leave and go home]]. And on top of that, the chapter ends with the GovernmentConspiracy the villains were trying to stop easily squashing their attempt to do so, [[ShaggyDogStory eliminating what little meaning there was left in the story]].

* ScheduleSlip: The manga went on a hiatus for about a year and a half. Then it came back, took frequent breaks, and went on hiatus ''again.''

Added DiffLines:
* FandomRivalry: The series is often compared with ''Manga/DeathNote'' because both revolve around a psychological and/or intellectual cat-and-mouse between the hero and the villain. Those who prefer ''Liar Game'' tend to favour its more grounded premise (lacking Supernatural shortcuts to one-up the other party), the less gray morality, and clearly defined story arcs (i.e. rounds). Those who prefer ''Death Note'' favour it for its interesting and more fleshed-out characters.

this trope is about alternate interpretations of what kind of person a character is. This entry seems to just be calling the story hypocritical for how it portrays Nao.
Deleted line(s) 1,2 (click to see context) :
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Nao is tricked, in more than a few occasions, by someone who ''immediately'' turns on their heel and highlights just how much of a jerk they are. Nao, when she tricks someone, is an angel descending from heaven with the keys to economic freedom in one hand and [[{{Metaphorgotten}} the great chain in the other]]. This is perhaps best noted as part of the game's GrayAndGrayMorality.
** The difference is; The ones who tricks Nao usually will [[EvilGloating happily gloat about it]] to the point of making the listener sick, while Nao, even she after tricks people, [[DefeatMeansFriendship will always be honest]] with her ''real'' [[WellIntentionedExtremist intention]]: [[MessianicArchetype to save]] ''[[MessianicArchetype everyone]]''. Further, the people that Nao tricks never suffer any ill effects - Nao and Akiyama always pay off all their debts afterward. Unless the subject was greedy and looking to turn a profit, being tricked by Nao gives them exactly what they wanted in the first place.
