No idea why this gets a pass from so many people, but this entire manhwa is just filled with plot armor. The MC can't die, can rewind time whenever he wants, he gets everything he needs just handed to him, and somehow manages to stay sane after going through the pain of killing himself and dying thousands of times. It's a game world so all the drama is forced and utterly pointless in the long run because the tower characters aren't real. Speaking of it being a game world, the setting is completely half-assed and left unexplained for most of the manhwa. Half-assed intros of characters so even 20+ chapters in you will barely know anything about anyone, even the MC.

Just another trasha manhwa in a long and growing list of trash manhwa. I'm jealous of all these people here reviewing that are so easily pleased over garbage.

By far the best tower climb manhwa, easily surpassing all and the original solo leveling.

A very likeable MC, one of the self-sacrifical, silent hero types. High degree of empathy, and a very easy cry at many points for those with weaker tear ducts like myself. Not lacking in intelligence, but he has persistence in spades

A beautiful story that balances action, emotion, and comedy, and art that steps it up to incredible levels when it suits the moment, yet keeping it pleasantly easy on the eyes when in the less intense moments.

Something worth noting is that the nature of the plot puts mc into different genres of story, like a martial realm manhua, a shoujo romance, etc. And with how well written and well drawn this manhwa is, they go beyond the level of a typical setting that merely parodies a genre, instead adopting its themes into the story, yet still preserving the core character ideals and plot. And it's done masterfully, with clear care and attention paid to each genre, at times satirizing, at other times embracing, yet fluid and artful even as it combines the two with the main plot. Also, it's not necessary to be familiar with a genre to enjoy this story's depictions of them, but there are minor details spread throughout that those more familiar with martial realms, for instance, will appreciate.

Only 2 mangas/manhwa have ever made me immediately bookmark the novel to read: This and bakemonogatari.

Surprisingly I didn't think I would be into tyes because of the fact that you have to at this point at least has no consequences anything bad happens the lead has to just kill himself and turn back time. That being said it is still very emotional and well written for such an OP power. The author does very well and the art is good. I would suggest trying it out

Reviewed at ch 92:

Ok, so taking Floor 1-10 as one arc (even though it kind of has 3 different plot threads one after the other), what would be arc 3 is simply amazing. On it's own a clear and unequivocal 10/10
But I'm getting ahead of myself.

The series starts with a not unheard of gimmick/power that's established within one or two chapters, so we're getting most of the basics out of the way fast, which is good when the premise isn't so unique.

Main criticism I had while reading the opening chapters was how the MC picks a task and guns directly for that instead of biding his time and slowly taking power, but, in-retrospect, this actually was probably the safest decision long-term.
Really my thinking he was making mistakes was possibly because I understood the main gimmick but not the wider world. (and a couple mistakes early on is acceptable, this guy is basically untrained and inexperienced at high level encounters)
Arc 1 ends with the first hints of how this story can tug on your heart, but up to here is basically still prologue

From arc 2 things kick off and we get more of those heart tugs. There's one sequence of panels that was particularly memorable and instantly made one of characters Best Girl (though our MC is not interested in romance at present). It also has our main character start to use his abilities to clear floors and handle the social/political component in a way I didn't expect and makes me question his long-term sanity, so that was refreshing in its own way.

Arc 3 starts as incredibly goofy funny. I was laughing thinking how ridiculous it was all of a sudden....by the end of it I had cried multiple times. It developed a character so well, with empathy being a major theme and I really hope the ideas developed here carry on throughout the story. It was the first time I was simply blown away by what this series and reminded of what this setting can do.

(review to be edited/refined later, I'm hungry atm)

The story is top tier, The Art is top tier and even the MC is top tier at first you would think he is stupid and selfish but turns out he is one of the kindest characters later on but if it is going to follow the original novel it would get a little weird not bad just weird and mostly the mc and story a little bit by bit because of that specially or specifically in the race arc where mc gets attached to goblins way too much which we got glimpse in the beginning I don't know about me or you but Goblin Slayer definitely won't like it and kill him for being a freakin Gawblin I am just thinking what will MC think of goblins after sewing freaking disgusting gawblins through Goblin Slayer's point of view if the crossover happened, If it wasn't for novel I would have given it 10 because uptill Love Novel Arc It's So Damn Good if you find got good scans then you would enjoy it like me because Ashura scans takes sometimes time to understand!

Premise is interesting but has proven troublesome for a long term plot. Death without any true consequence makes it hard for a thrilling adventure to be thrilling.

edit: as of chapter 114, I'm downgrading this from a 6/10 to a 1/10

really feels like a self-insert / author self jerk fantasy

an all-in-one package!! u get that power fantasy PLUS the feels neyhehee

manhwa does an amazing job at delving into what really makes up each floor. what is necessary to stop absolute chaos? what terms will you die on? are you truly permitted to judge those who kill? the worldbuilding is also super cool because things exist in the world for a purpose and not just cuz the author needed something to shoehorn in. like holy shit!!!!! Trading!!!!!!! Making choices to further the economy!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not to mention the really good character development hahaha. Mc is so scummy in the beginning, but he finally learns success and failure and deals with suicide and trauma COOL STUFF!!!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!! Very cool plz read

The art is stellar, the designs, the pacing and the execution of the events are dramatic and fills you with tension.

It's a series that manage to make you care about the characters, and this adaptation has done a good job so far.

Since I've read really far in the novel I have some qualms with it. The novel itself would be a 8/10, but for this adaptation it would be a 9/10.
