Honestly It's a good series, but personally i dont really care for side-characters especially if they're not my favorite. This manhwa has MANY side charas, and the author sometimes heavily focus on side-chara. if you also dont like it, I dont recommend it.

I loved the first season of Tower of God. It was interesting, from the plot, to the characters, to the world building. It really lost me somewhere in the second season and I stopped reading there. In some ways it suffered the same way as Kubera: too many subplots and too many extra characters. I could not keep up with who is who. I did not care for the large amount of extra characters and yet they received entire plots and side stories around them, forgoing any development for the original main characters.

It does have an anime now, and I wish for its success.

Started off very promising, but the main character, Bam, is the core weakness of the series. By the end of season 2, he gets power up upon power up, but no substantive character development. The author starts to hit you over the head with philosophical strawmen to justify his characters' behaviours and poorly-foreshadowed plot points justified through awkwardly placed flashbacks. The dialogue during fights also become increasingly melodramatic.

However, there are still some nice moments, and the art and fight scenes get better.

The story was good and promising in season 1, but turned out to be complete trash in season 2. The story began to have almost endless fights in season 2, even though they did nothing to advance the plot. I am not of a fan of meaningless fights that do not contribute to the story in any way. Although this was a shounen, action-adventure webtoon from the beginning, all the action lost it's meaning in season 2.

The second problem is with the characters. All the character development stopped with Season 2, with typical cliches and tropes taking it's place, such as an over use of the power of friendship and an angelic MC who is pure and always right.

Action for the sake of action and endless fighting along with lack of character development in season 2 ruined the webtoon. As it stands, this webtoon is now complete sh*t. It's completely retarded now with retarded characters.

As others have stated the series starts out very strong. Interesting setting, unknown motivations and strong characterisation. Add on good action and a solid pacing, then you have a great series.

Then season 2 happens where things start getting explained and lose their allure. Characters keep getting added and split up to bog down the pacing. Then there are other things that are hard to pinpoint that just makes it a drag to get through. Still an above average work but not something to really recommend.

This series... oh boy. Where do I even begin?

Pros:
- Gorgeous art
- BADASS MC (middle of the story)
- Great side-characters
- Good story
- Ok story development
- Ok character development

Cons:
- Slow story start
- EXTREMELY angelic MC
- EXTREMELY dense MC
- EXTREMELY frustrating MC
- Many many side characters

I seem to be in the minority when I say that this series is not the best thing ever. Don't get me wrong, ok. This series has a pretty great plot that does have a good depth to it. Most everything in this series is great. Most everything. This being said, I dropped this series for one reason.
And good christ. I can't emphasize this enough-

The main character is *UNBEARABLE.

The main character, Baam, is the Angelic type. This means that he is so goddamn selfless that he would rather suffer for his friends than be happy. While this isn't the worst personality trait, Baam takes it to the EXTREME. Every single time he needs to make a decision, he always puts his friends first. Again, while this isn't necessarily bad, Baam is just quite frankly annoying about it. And what makes this worse is that his illogical though patterns don't ever go wrong. He's even more OP than Kirito and he's just so annoying and so much of a cry baby. He is the type that I hate.

Most of his friends around him are pretty great however. I personally enjoyed most of the side characters.

* But even if you hate the Angelic character, you will still enjoy a certain part of the manga. Here's why if you want to know: .

First season was great, but the second season is not good. In the second season, Baam is getting worst after he was betrayed by his precious friend due to chase after her; at same time, Baam is getting stronger, yet he puts his friends in dangerous circumstances. I hope this series can pick up better progress to revolve around Baam's goals/desires, such as continue to climb up tower for himself, find what Hwa Ryun's motive, and catch up from season 1 characters such as Yu Han Sung and Lo Bo Bia Ren. I don't think I can continue to read this series, but I probably will try to pick it up again in the future.

This is by far one of my favorite reads of all time. It has great characters, great story, and amazing art that gets better and better as the series goes on. It does have a few slow points in season 2, which i personally enjoyed, but I understand some people were not so big on it. If you dont like it to much just power through it, the story gets SOOO good after you will enjoy it for sure.

Many people are saying here and there that season 2 has ruined the whole story. Many battles are long, which may make readers feel exhausted to follow. However, the story is great, and the characters do develop through the progress of the story. The author actually knows exactly where the story is going, only that its complication can sometimes confuse readers.
Not to say, the art in season 2 got SO much better than season 1. 10/10

I started reading Tower of God back when the Company translated the first chapters in english, and I was hooked from the very first chapter. It felt interesting. Original. The characters were intriguing, the setting mysterious, the art colorful and the pace nice and swift. The plot was simple but fun to read, and gradually grew more complex as things moved on.

Season one starts good and only gets better from there. Season two starts a little wonky, but makes up for it with two of the most amazing arcs I've ever seen in graphic form. Up until the start of the "Workshop battle" arc, this was probably my favorite ongoing manga/manhwa to read.

At around that point, however, problems started to show up. For one thing, the author apparently got a hand injury, which resulted in the art becoming less detailed in places and the pacing drastically slowing down. I actually took a break from it for a while at one point, since things were advancing at a crawl that was rather unsatisfied to read from week to week.

That said, it's since recovered from its rough patch and is rising to match and perhaps even exceed its original story, as the plot opens up and events begin to escalate to an epic scale.

Overall, an excellent story to enjoy, filled with twists and mysteries and intense battles. Doesn't quite earn a perfect 10 due to the aforementioned rough spots, but still very much worth reading!
