on top of the tower sit most powerful primordial beings from lovecraftian works about cthulhu

MC like in most "reincarnation" crap, are op,

1) he only one who finished tower, and the way he did its was - he constantly tried all possible variants of doing quests, fusing stuff, crafting stuff etc, he also "know" attack patterns and habbits of 99% beings there like he tried all by dying and getting there again until learning perfect way to complete thing (pretty much he done so much stuff that it would have taken thousands of years to anyone, but he somehow done it in 11 years or so), so he know every crook and cranny that exist in tower, and know more then anyone in it, even its inhabitants and "operators" (about who later)

2) because of 1, and finishing tower he got impossible perks like one that allow him copy everyone else abilities and perks, being allow fusing almost all and any skills and perks, and getting the best possible loot every time (meaning he getting always getting loot that pretty much impossible to obtain), so he cheating his way buy stealing perks combining them in to OP stuff and getting OP gear so even if his skills (like reaction and other) not best, but he still always win in the end

3) but somehow, no one except operators know that it was he - who conquered tower and thats why he know all that stuff.

And as MC climb, we find that inhabitants of tower are are find interest in him, some try to get him to join them, some try to kill him because he or declined them, or they find him as a threat.

The further he climb, the stronger foes appear, and pretty much since first few floors gods from 30-late40's floors try to kill him (and always can't do that). So we have inhabitants of tower who want to kill MC, then we have outside of tower people who want to kill him (yeah, its best logic to kill person who not once saved world outside, just because you envy him, yep), even thought they themselves suck, and if not MC they would we died already many times.

So gods and people inside tower want to kill MC, people outside want to kill MC - you would thing that this is all? Nope, we found that tower are managed by beings called "managers", who divided by inferior, middle and supervising ones, with different amount of the authority, and that managers are supposed to be neutral and keep balance of the tower and... keep cthulhu company (aka primordial beings) that sit on 50th (top) floor at bay, barring them from leaving their floor and influencing lower ones.

But like always, managers are corrupt, and 1 (and later more and more) start separately (like dude A dont know about dude B) working for said floor 50. But what dumb, factions from tower want to reach higher floors, and attack 50th one and become rulers (or maybe just more power), and they remotely aware about beings on top and their threat, but they end working with corrupt managers, fully knowing who they work for, and so they start wars and massacres with other factions and floors. So such managers find MC threat as well, and try to kill him with thus "corrupted" factions.

And they fail. And managers who fail become fired\killed, and their place take others, and they continue trying to kill MC. Then 50th floor guy nyarlathotep come and deal with managers and factions separately from managers who already work for 50th floor (like why??) and find MC threat (what surprise) and first try to kill MC with help of bribed managers and factions (in addition to managers and factions that trying to do so), then trying to send personnel from 50th floor (some "op" people who feared by even gods and still die to mc), and..

Then appear operators, some people from outside tower "with weird powers" and who "made tower" but somehow can't do a thing or fix things inside. Then operators some try to help MC, but most try to kill him, and work with some "first operator" or climber who also want to rule tower, he so powerful, everyone fear him, but somehow he can't do a jack and send operators do the work. Then we see said "first operator" somehow ordering nyarlathotep to do jobs there and there, and give orders to kill Alice, when they fail then try to break her contract and send to kill MC (we find that she was was not killed and sent to that dungeon for a reason so that player free her, but she was poisoned way, that she would want kill\suck MC dry of blood), then that also fail. And question... why the heck they wanted kill Alice first because "she a threat", and then same person try to not kill her but use to kill mc?

And that just made whole thing a mess, where super op beings, that said can't do a thing, then they somehow do anything they want, and they can't kill mortal person... nyarlathotep alone can kill MC by almost flick of a fingers, but.. he don't do so, he still send people... first operator same, gods same... that operators as well.

I was interested in seeing how this novel would incorporate Plant vs Zombies game into it; since CN novels have but wanted to see KR spin on it. But I ended up reading beyond that part tho since I liked some of the ideas the author brought up.

The Chinese allied themselves with Murim & MC does not join Murim [ppl who live on the 21st dungeon floor] who are recruiting players, so they are enemies. During a fight with MC in an Aladdin's Cave of Wonders esque area, MC conceals the truth about a horn item's usage which ends up bringing a disaster on China and destroys it
