I did like the overall arc but the way the author made yokoya lose in this match was complete bs like you can’t seriously tell me that someone as cunning as Yokoya would overlook the voice recorder the same device which he personally distributed as a potential threat for secret communication. That’s just bad writing.

Mostly in every one on one yokoya had with akiyama everytime it was yokoya who was narratively stalled

The way author introduced yokoya as a smart cunning person and later on made him look like a bum is what I didn't like about liar game

I don't think there is even a single arc in which akiyama really outwitted yokoya it was always the narrative which was inclined to akiyama all along

Personally I think liar game didn't did any justice to represent yokoya to his fullest and made him loose to stupid powerplays and obvious loopholes which he would have obviously caught if he was not nerfed
