 Started good, turned into complete trash.   
Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

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. Action for the sake of action and endless fighting in season 2 ruined the webtoon.


And why is the mc chasing after the one who betrayed him for so long? He should have abandoned her long ago.

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:
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Baam's character takes a rather interesting turn in the early-middle part of the series (I don't really remember where). He distances himself from his friends and becomes an OP mass-killer who isn't at all the Baam we knew. He even becomes famous for his ruthlessness and OP-ness. It's so great. He literally becomes a different character named Viole. Viole is perhaps one of my favorite manga characters EVER. But after about 50 chapters or so, Viole reverts back to his old Angelic self. He becomes Baam again. Except Baam now becomes even more OP than before

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

 Brilliant in some places, with a few weaker spots

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!

It is a webtoon done as a serial each WEEK. If webtoons/Korean style aren't your flavour, read something else. Otherwise...

It is amazing! Holy moly! I have even dragged my husband into webtoons for this single one. Yes, the art gets better, the story is full of twists and secrets, and it is ongoing. We all want answers right away, but this series only builds more mystery in my opinion. Again, it is ONGOING, so if you want to fall in lkve with a set of characters, and read a serial each week filled wih adventure and mystery: read it. If you want answers conclusions, a finished product quickly: wait until this series is finished or don't bother. We can't all love the same things 100%, and that is okay. bigrazz

P.S. personally, I love season 2 as much as 1.

As i read this comment, that just awesome rage spilled all over the place, lol. If you give rating 1 but u liked 1 season - that just stupid.

Still it`s the best piece i have ever read, Season 2 is much better than first one, there is still no MC here and i think its great (no Bam is no MC still, however you look at it). It`s not like manga so if you want to pick it up dont expect things you saw in japanese comics.

This is webtoon, but more of the story goes by SIU blog (comic is enough to understand what is happening, but sometimes it feels weird). The rating is not overrated, and it doesnt matter how much bullshit ppl spill here, it will ramain high - so JUST TRY IT YOURSELF! - if you didn`t already smile

 Season 1= Good, Season 2= Dropped

Tower of God started out good with an interesting premise, a good cast (most of them pretty generic) and some creative tests/games. There are times you might draw comparison with Hunter x Hunter or some RPG games but most of the time it standed out on its own.

It's not original or even unique in world building (contrary to what blind fans claim) as ToG borrows most of the world building elements from other works but that's not bad if it's done well.

But the second season has been disappointing. Author has dragged many arcs in the second season maybe thanks to the popularity of Season 1. The tests are boring & they are not creative at all like Season 1. Many of the characters are flat & boring, and sadly the main character (Baam/Viole) still remains the same unidimension shonen idiot (the generic protagonist who has a heart of gold but brainless fool). I don't understand how author claims that tower is a world not for those who are afraid of shedding blood ~_~ Baam has easy time (without shedding blood) due to plot armor. Author wants us to believe Baam is suffering but not really.

There are battles which are dragged on for many chapters, the fights are boring to be honest. The most important part is that most of the battles are not even important to the series...author draws them just to drag the series.

Tower of God was one of my favorite series during its Season 1 despite the main character's generic & flat personality. But Season 2 has ruined it for me. Author seriously needs to stop wasting time on unnecessary things (especially taking more than 30-40 chapters which is terrible).

In short, Tower of God doesn't deserve such high rating.
