Just like everyone said, season 1 is verygood even tho the art are bad, but keep reading it, there’s shocking and interesting plot twist

I see everyone said season 2 is boring, perhaps it’s from hell train arc and after baam changed from viole into baam again, BUT JUST KEEP READING, SIU plot style is long story type, it builds story per chapter and it’s quite long, i won’t say it’s slow, but it’s definetly long, when you reading week per week, you may get tired lol, but I reread it again after season 2 completed, and omg it’s mind blowing how detail SIU world building is.

Currently in season 3 and I stopped again because I realize tog is the type of manhwa which we can enjoy with a bunch of chapter instead of once per week type.
And character changing in season 3 really good, baam from season 1 until now, the character development is slow but it’s there.

For side character, yes there is so manyyyyy side character, some are awesome, some are good, some are just unimportant haha
But SIU once said, tog is not a story about baam, tog is story about the tower itself, it’s just our main character is gained so much attention in there.

oh my god. where do i even start to explain on how good this webtoon is.

first things first, season 1 was kinda okay. it wasn't the best but it was good. the art may be bad but it was because SIU (the creator) had wrist injuries during that time. but the first time i was reading it, i was INTERESTED in it already. especially at the part when bam refused the power of the shinsu barrier Lero made for the test floor (keep this in mind, Bam DID NOT intend to refuse it. which just shows how strong he is.).
the remaining things i will say will be spoilers. read if you're fine with spoilers.
the Bam we all know is angelic, kind, and polite right? well, in season 2 things take a HUGE turn. the Bam we all know is gone. Bam gets a change of personality. he becomes a slayer and changes his name to Jue Viole Grace. but its something bam wouldn't do right? it's so unlike of him to change so suddenly. it's because FUG threatened Bam, that if he doesn't become a slayer they'll kill his friends. so of course Bam wanted to protect them so he becomes a slayer. but do not worry! in the Workshop Battle Arc, Bam meets up with the rest of his old teamates an friends (rak, khun, shibisu, endorsi, hatz, and etc.) in the Hidden Floor Arc, Bam finally lets go of Rachel
in season 3, Bam gets strong af. he has the confidence to say "you sure are persistent... step aside, i don't fight people who are 'weaker' than me." i don't have much to say about season 3 since it isn't done yet (it's on a hiatus since SIU has wrist problems again)

this concludes on what i think about ToG. it's amazing, highly recommended to people who like action :]

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.
