I've been slowly reading through the novel from the start to end over the past month. I'm going to go over my thoughts and opinion of the entire story so spoilers beware.

So the overall story can be broken into two parts. Part one where MC enters the tower, and part two where MC does non-tower related things.

The first half was brilliantly written. It is like an hybrid of solo leveling and tower of god. The MC's focus is very straightforward, and the story progresses slowly and them ramps up faster... more>> and faster like Solo Leveling. Yet that's only for the MC's actions, the author takes their time to world build, introduce details and characters, have chapters or parts of chapters be in other character's pov and flashbacks. And there's always chapters dedicated to exploring new knowledge or foreshadowing what the MC will do. Most of the floors the MC travels to is given great detail and long trials and unique challenges similar to Tower of God.

The second half on the otherhand felt extremely rushed. The author put in a good bait, in that the readers and the characters do not know MC's plan after the time skip. The issue is that the majority of the conflict revolves around key figures from part 1, yet also introduces characters outside the tower. These outside characters do not have any relevance to the story only to pad it and demonstrate how strong the MC became after the time skip. At the same time the key figures from part 1, never state their goal or how they planned to achieve it. And many of the key figures hinted in part 1, just never appeared in part 2. For example, the trinity wonder is 3 gods who opened the tower, and only 1 interacts directly in the story for the Bow God. The other is the patron god of the one-horn tribe but they never do anything or make an appearance, and the author did not state who the 3rd god of the trinity is. Or basically what happened to the Arthia clan members during the time skip, which none of which was ever mentioned into the last 10 or so chapters and they played no relevance.

I can ramble on and on about this like what happens to the leaders of two groups that represent day, and what not. The point was after the tower, it was rushed. It was around 600-650 chapters about the tower, and then the remaining 150-200 about outside of it, I felt like the 2nd half needed atleast another 100-200 chapters to fill in the holes left and hinted by part 1 while also expanding the characterization. <<less

The first Korean novel that I have read. And that to, in the perspective of a guy. He had all the typical male lead characteristics; smart, handsome, cold-hearted. I liked it very much all because of the plotline. If we were to take out all these characters, and just immerse ourselves in the backgrounds and character visuals, it'll make for a very good game. And you might never expect this kind of twist towards the end of the story. I never expected that. And maybe some of you might do.... more>> Anyways, if you're into action, this might be just for you. Thank you to the auhor and translator for a wonderful read. <<less

It is good I want more things similiar to this! I like how protagonist changes from hartless man with only revange in his hart to someone with other feelings. It is well written. Well I personally like more the begging version of MC. But if not his change I would have never got to know other characters so I can not say nothing. Olso it would be probably boring. So I think it is the best tower story I've read so far. Highly recommended.

I loved this novel. It was one of the best I have ever read. The plot was the usual strong to stronger MC then becoming OP but it didn't make me lose interest in it as I am a fan of this type of MC's.
Spoiler

It was different from other stories where Hades and Kronos are bad people. Although Kronos is viewed negatively at first we come to like him as a father because he went mad due to the black king not because of his greed to remain the king. The plot twist where all of Yeon woo's family is alive made me so happy. Hades being a reliable older brother was so likable, adorable, and made him look dependable. Also him carrying a lot of responsibility on his shoulders made it a little sad. He succeeds his throne to Yeon woo maybe because he felt their bond It also portrays Zeus and Poseidon differently from other stories making it enjoyable and not borin

[collapse]

All in all it is one of my favourite novels.

PS: the side stories may not actually be completed as the translator said that author is on hiatus but the side stories will be completed some time

Actually very interesting read... If you are bored of routine wuxia novels, you can give it a try.

Starts same as dungeon novels, but grows into a powerful story. Interesting world building and every character has a story...

Some will like it, some don't... But give it a try before rejecting

It's both great and horrible novel. I had no complaints for the plot and characters. It's written very well. But aside from that concept and translations had quite a problem.

Firstly, it's not much but I kinda hate the names of the skills/items most of them are just so lame and s*upid, it's a turn off for the novel. It's probably from chunni translators inventing/changing the names of those things.

There's also so many korean words chiness words thay wasn't explain at all, even if you try searching for them on the... more>> net, there's nothing coming out. You might as well learn those languages since translators are lazy to give explanations for the words they didn't translate. Like for example there were words like bianbyeokdokbiblahblahblah f*ck what the f*ck does that even mean?! Jesus.

And also the power system is very unsatisfying. MC receives lots of power-ups that he didn't deserved. There's so much skills and items, some are already forgotten. Most powers were borrowed from Gods, MC keep saying he worked hard this he worked hard that but I can seriously see how lucky and so much plot armor being given to him. There are parts where I can see the hardwork of the MC at early chapters, I enjoyed how he's actually using his brain but past 200-300 chapters those hardwork was turn to garbage, he keeps receiving powers and favors from gods. Among his stats and skills only 1% is from his own hardwork and 99% is not his own power. The author didn't even dare to show Status Window of the MC to the readers anymore because even the author is lost and doesn't know the skills and items he gave to the MC. The Stats window and game elements is basically a disaster.

World building is bad. It's also not detailed enough. It feels so rushed, it lacks details and quite hard to picture the scenes in your head, I don't know why the author is rushing this story.

Other than these annoying things.. The main plot is still great, the schemes is very good, some drama here and there made me cry a bit and also the badass moments is chill, and character growth is fine too, from Bad to Good MC. Although it's a bit off-putting to see MC massacre people then the next chapter he's acting like some family guy.

Great start but it's sad that it plummeted in the middle since the power concept become garbage I just find myself skipping the action scenes because I don't even understand what the f*ck is happening because skills he's using I don't even know anymore it's just confusing and chore to read, the author doesn't know that there are parts where he should skip when it's not even interesting. The plot is great so I want to know more I'm curious of what will happen next but I don't think it's enough to keep the novel running with just that.

At one point I was comparing it to one of the best KR novel here— SCOG but SLR becomes worst and worst as I read on, so much plot holes, unexplained skills, rushed explanations. The whole novel is tormenting to read. I planned to drop this so I read as much spoiler as I could at 350+ chaps and I don't think it's worth wasting more time for me. My end conclusion is that this is some f*cked up family drama of the gods lol. Definitely overrated but still doesn't deserve the 1 star reviews. It's at most 3/5. <<less

I have zero idea what the heck just happened, but the writing went ABSOLUTE downhill after chapter 278+, MC suddenly turned into a damsel in distress, power balancing is ALL over the place....

Will update if it gets better but I doubt, seems like the author went into pepega mode.

I recommend reading "Leveling with the Gods" instead, it's superior in everyway compared to this

Love MC's personality trait, intelligent, fearless and revenge driven in a good way unlike other stories when MC is revenge driven to the point of reducing their IQ by anger etc.

Awesome plot and world-building and the blend of mythology; gods/goddesses makes the story so much better, they connect to each other really well in the story.

I want to tell people to read this, because despite all the (accurate, but sometimes overblown) negative reviews about plot inconsistencies or power level adjustments, this novel is still a really great read. The reason being, for me at least, that it never once stops engaging the reader and pulling you in to read more. The transitions between arcs are well plotted out and, despite the novel being about progressing through a tower from floor 1 to 100, you're never left with long periods of poorly used downtime between each... more>> arc since there are usually 2-3 arcs prepared to start at seemingly any moment. Sometimes you're even having to wait 50-100 chapters before previously mentioned conflicts are brought up again.

If I had make and original complaint, the author does frequently (especially in the later half of the novel) state that the MC has already prepared for ___ situation retroactively. For example, moments where a side character pops out of no-where to save the day and says something like "thank god MC-hyung told me to prepare for this moment a week ago!" However, these moments too much since they are mainly used to prevent breaks in the action, and none come as a surprise as they are all things that the author states the MC plans to do earlier on, we just rarely get to see the MC actually DO it before his plans come into play.

I'm only just now realizing how much I could keep talking about the specifics... but overall, while it's not perfect, it's a lot of fun and hard to put down since the author's focus always seems to be on the pacing of the action. Well worth the time it takes to read.

OH, and other than for 3 chapters, the MC's romance basically doesn't exist. Just FYI <<less

The translation is great. Definitely one of the better translated webnovels out there. Other then that it's a fairly mundane webnovel. There's a ton of filler and needless details that don't need to be repeated, yet they are repeated constantly. It's fairly painful to read through. Like there are webnovels out there that just hook you instantly whether it's due to the characters, the plot, world building or how well it's written. This one just doesn't do any one thing well enough to get you hooked. The characters are so... more>> unappealing and boring, that it's hard to really get invested in them, especially the MC. The author has a bad habit of not explaining the world until it's required to progress the plot. A lot of important plot points are rushed and have no buildup that it takes away the anticipation readers would build. Seems like all the major arcs aren't planned out and just come out of no where.

TLDR Don't read it unless you really like game element webnovels and can suffer through lazy plots, world building and characters. <<less

ITS GREAT

No but the people saying this as "copied" and comparing to various other novels, ITS A GENRE CHILE there are thousands of same setting as this novel. Like The world after the wall, tower of God, SSS class su*cide hunter, MC hides his strength etc. I can accept all criticism towards writing and story building since that depends on different perspective one reads. But copying is just not it.

World building wise for me was great. Not fast paced but yeah plot Armor for him was thicc lol. Legendry pet,... more>> not one but 2, op shadows, op teacher, op FL possibly, op friends, and op himself n BG too.

But overall if u enjoy reading op MC with a back story and tower setting this is to go for. <<less

Lmao people blasting this novel should just stick to Shakespeare, it's a really great novel, superb world building and decent stuff to keep you hooked. Loved it and will recommend it to all. The protagonist is kinda bland near the end (too op) but hey he had his weak moments let him have his glory near the end.

This is an action korean novel that I still keep reading because of the many conflicts and crazy plots. I've read several other Korean novels, such as Solo Leveling and Nano Machine, but I didn't finish it because I was quite "bored" with the plot at the end of the novel. However, SLR has a story with a very wide world setting and many creatures in it are diverse, so it makes this story very interesting when an event occurs, especially the events that Yeon Woo experienced are getting higher... more>> and higher, so it's very fun when reading this story and watch yeon woo grow and carry all creatures under his feet. BTW, I really like Yeon Woo's character! He was never satisfied with the state he was in so his strength never stopped and was always growing. He cares deeply about his family, friends, and those who are important to him, even though he is very cunning with his enemies, he has a reason why he does it all. Ah, I really want to continue reading Yeon Woo's journey to the end. &Lt;3 <<less

I’m writing this because there are so many low star reviews and I don’t understand why. Although this story might not be the best of the best, it is still one of the good ones in the tower-climbing/ dungeon crawling category. The world building is super interesting and the characters are likable.

I read the mangwa, continued with the novel because the mangwa was too slow, and now I’m just waiting for the whole story to be completely translated to binge read it.

I have been reading this religiously and waiting for updates every day (because I'm poor, lol). This is my most favorite LN so far since I discovered it. I am just enamored with the plot and its twists and turns and also the characters. I love how I get anxious, laugh, and cry at the same time because of one novel, and it just takes my expectations to a higher level. The development and the way it's written is beautiful. I just can't express with few words how I love... more>> this one very much! <<less

It has a very good start for a fantasy novel. With element like climbing a tower, it reminds me of "Tower of God". However as the story goes, MC only grows stronger and hardly ever encounters really really bad situation. Mishmash of myths and legends are interesting at first but somehow gets pretty predictable as story somewhat follows what actually happened in those mythologies and legends, instead of borrowing ideas from it and giving more twists/changing some things about it. It gets somehow boring when you reach chapter 400+

I'm still... more>> giving a high rating as it really made me read it for hours straight because it was just that interesting <<less

Anyone saying this is a casual novel based of other novels are those who dropped it in it's starting days just like those who don't like One Piece cuz it's "LONG". It's not by a lightyear shot a casual novel, it's a masterpiece. Everything is revealed in the later chapters, as to why the dungeon (TOWER) exist (which is pretty significant, very much so), how his little brother who isn't on the top of the hall of fame but still knows every thing (uh that's a great mystery), it has... more>> gods and demons from every mythology playing a very important role, his revenge plot, his history that isn't know even by him, the side characters. It's the best sandwich you can have but you just have to make it through the crust, and then voila, you'll enjoy a whole new delicacy.

Spoiler

For instance, there's 72 demons of Soloman, Olympus, Asgard, Niflheim, Devas, Chan Sect, etc. His power of death isn't something he just stumbled upon coincidently but something that was destined to happen, why his brother got into the Tower and was gived OP abilities and skills was also something that was predestined and due to their ancestors. Everything is connected, and diverse.

[collapse]

So don't fall off the ride right at the start and progress. It's great. <<less
