As the translator, my review might be biased. Sorry about that.

'VS Game' is a light yet steamy oneshot. I found the characters rather fun, although Seongjae was too pushy and Hweeo a pushover. The premise itself is interesting, albeit perhaps cliché, and could have been made into a well-developed story. But alas, it is a short story that seems like a PWP - perfect for those who want a quick read, not so much for others who like depths. It served its purpose, but I cannot give it more than... more>> four stars.

Contains explicit s*xual content that some might view as dubcon/noncon. <<less

The translation is excellent. Thank you, translator, for your hard work.

So it's a typical BL date-r*pe (short) story. If you don't mind that kind of thing then this short story is written and translated well. It doesn't have much in the way of depth or plot, and if you read a lot of BL you already know this story. I'm giving it 2 stars out of respect for the translator, not on the merit of the story.

Spoiler

Friends go out for drinks and one friend decides their relationship needs to change but knows it won't with consent. So, he purposefully plies his friend with alcohol until he's out of his mind, and yada yada yada... If this happened to a woman there would be police involved. Don't get me wrong I'm not judging artistic expression, but if I have to sit through r*pe (dubbed non-con to mitigate the seriousness of the act), I need a compelling reason, and this story doesn't have it.

well oneshot, with MC and ML having a drinking session. Their 1st night started with drunken game with ML testing up MC haha. Anyways from tidbits, one can see that ML did have a spot on MC heart. Since MC shared his thoughts that despite ML being attractive/successful he's kinda withdrawn (with MC friends asking him :how he was even friend with ml)

for me it was not abrupt to the change of their relationship? They know each other since highschool. It's just yeah only 1 chap. ML doing what... more>> the MC gave anwsers about their versus game., While doing it MC also felt good and ML did prepared MC. <<less

⚠️ Extremely dubious consent. ⚠️

But... I still like it. :'I

Anyway, its dub-con, which unfortunately isn't uncommon in Japanese BL. Almost prevalent, unfortunately. :/ But these two do have a close friendship, at least. And I get the impression seme has been hinting at or assessing interest, and took advantage of the vs situation. He abides by uke's "requests" and while that doesn't absolve him, at least he shows consideration and care. Sigh, y u do this yaoi... :')
