the author doesn't know how to present the story properly

by crissio

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

this is just another one of billion survival game dungeon type of webtoons I came across, but if you want to read at least a decent writing, do not read this. Later on after chapter 41, the author seemed to break his flow and pacing and the overall flow of the story became disjointed and confused due to how the author suddenly skipped the timeline and then go back to the current timeline again back and forth. I heard that the future timeline is actually the present timeline, and the present timeline is the flashback, if you are confused after reading this, so do I. It is that bad. Go read another random medicore webtoon that has similar premise at the very least they didn't mess it up hardcore like this series.

Poorly done

The overall arc of the story might be fine, but the characters and dialogue are poorly written. Most of the fights are poorly made and you feel very little tension in the action since there are basically no stakes. You know he wins and can't be hurt. You are sometimes told he is having one difficulty or another, but it isn't conveyed convincingly. It just makes for a boring read.

it’s good though?

action is smooth, MC has ambiguous disorder, and the survival aspect shines through as he methodically overcomes each challenge.
i’m not going to say handwave-y things don’t happen, but from a dungeon action manhwa this is exactly what i want.

Is tutorial hard or is the story hard?

by danycraft98

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

As the subject states, the story in general is too hard to follow. The timeline goes back and forth, which makes it hard to know who is where at certain point.

If anyone has knowledge, please let me know what the timeline is....

They ruined a good thing.

They ruined a good thing when they stopped telling the story in chronological order.

The whole thing of narrating the story out of sequence and needlessly jumping back and forth between different points in time seemingly at random just made it a pain to follow and threw any previous attempt at coherent storytelling out the window. Suddenly jumping from the middle of one scene, to something completely unrelated that happens presumably years later in the story entirely without warning and without any continuity whatsoever is just messed up. It feels like you suddenly find yourself reading different manhwa that got accidentally uploaded on the wrong page.

In addition, the pacing is just awful. In the 'climb the tower' story, they will steadily progress through several floors, then spend several chapters on a single floor (endless eight, anyone?), then completely skip several floors, then asspull plot-armor from the floors they didn't cover.
Logically, if they're willing to spend so many chapters in one place, why can't they even spare one for all the others!?

I wouldn't mind following a slow and steady story about grinding. That's what this was at the start, and it was actually well done. But following a story that has no idea what it wants to do with the pacing and also chronologically jumps around all the time is just painful.

It was fun at first, but betrayed our trust shortly after. If you haven't started reading this yet: don't. It's not worth your time.

Boring

by superman89

Reading this manga is kind of like watching someone play Dark Souls on max difficulty. Boring!

The constant flip flopping from present to past events drags it down tremendously as well. Hell, we're on chapter 70 and the MC is just clearing the 13th floor in flashbacks!

One of the worst

by potatohunter0

Rating: N/A

One of the most unoriginal manhwa's i've ever wasted my life reading to ch. 52. Generic isekai + tower floors + constellations tropes.
The protag's main gear is low quality CGI. Even if the art wasn't so awful the writing would still make this a waste of time to read. Usually manhwas borrow ideas but this manhwa seems to be obssessed with ripping off as much as they can from every other manhwa's beginning chapters instead of going anywhere with any kind of plot.

The author has no idea how to create character development beyond naming and killing random people and you end up wondering when anything origonal will start happening in this.

My take...

by Dynir

Your average manhwa with player systems, dungeons etc. Decent art but progress is slow that the author started including future scenes in between chapters to probably to keep people interested.

As in the tilte mainstory is the MC clearing the tower floor by floor and no time skip on MC leaving like in other stories so only time will tell if we ever see him outside the tower, ends after he clears the last floor or gets axed

Go read the novel, the manhwa sucks.

by Belkar

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

As early as chapter 5 it becomes clear that this manhwa is poorly written, especially if you've read the novel.

To illustrate: He had to walk for half an hour until he reached the first crossbow, but when he went back to the waiting room he was constantly under fire by arrows. There is no such thing as a crossbow with a 3 mile radius. Even if there were other crossbows popping up, with a busted ankle which means no ability to dodge, he would have never made it back. You might be lucky enough to be missed a few times, but no way a slow moving crawling target is missed for an hour long. No amount of plot armor could realistically make you survive this. It should have been just the 35 arrows and him dragging his crippled body for an hour while leaving a trail of blood on the floor and fighting to remain conscious. At least this would have been in the realm of possible and it is how it was originally written in the novel. This is what you get when you turn a survival thriller into a staple action-adventure story.

My recommendation:
If you started, drop it, if you didn't, don't start. Still interested? Go read the novel instead.

To quote an official notice: "Series is cancelled by the Author because of the poor adaption."
