The cast is bland, shallow, one-dimensional and instead of actually developing at least some characters, the author just throws in bunch of more new characters to get your attention. The most glaring problem are the characters. I have no idea how the author managed to attain this zen state of storytelling, but I can tell you that it's nothing enjoyable. There is both too much stuff happening and nothing happening at the same time. The plot goes both everywhere and nowhere. ![]() I get the feel that the author just thinks of some elements that sound cool and throws them into the next week's chapter without much thought. The plot doesn't seem to be much well thought and it's more likely that it's made up on the go. The pacing is horrible and it takes forever for the plot to move somewhere, especially with the trials that tend to get too complicated and drags on forever. Most of the time nothing interesting happens, and the rare moments that might distantly resemble entertainment are gone quickly. The plot is, as you might have guessed, a big mess. We're talking about almost 100 chapters of bad illustrations though. But yeah, the art gets noticeably better. Worst are the drawings outside of action scenes, where the characters are frequently off-model and just unpleasant to the eyes. The character design is like that of a fanfiction OC originating from the forementioned site. It looks like 2009 deviantart creation made entirely in MS Paint. Let me describe the art of the earlier chapters a bit more. But mainly because the first part is so horrendous, that even the mediocre continuation is an improvement. Real talk though, does it actually get better? Well. And like them, I hope Tower of God will be left in the dust of history someday and my life will be peaceful again. I recognize this pattern, I've already seen it with Homestuck and Salad Fingers communities. Now, lot of fans keep saying that it does get better and that I should keep on going. ![]() The work where you'll be wishing to do anything else than reading it. Sure, there are a lot of worse manga, but at least those tend to be entertaining, I'll try to continue, but I don't know for how much longer I continue this thorny journey. This means that it took me great amount of time to arrive at this chapter count and my strength and will weaken with each another chapter. Having to load another of the endless chapters pained me greatly and often I found myself distracted by literally anything else rather than to continue reading. Never before I had to force myself to continue reading a comic so much like I had with Tower of God.
