Tower of God is one of the grandest, most ambitious, and engrossing comics I have ever read. However, it has many flaws that prevent it from being one of the greatest fantasy comics.

First, let's focus on what the series is doing right. Tower of God has one of the most interesting and vast worlds I have seen in a fantasy story. The concept of a massive tower-like structure with each floor being a world is novel and damn cool. The way the world of the tower is introduced and set up is interesting as well. It is evident that the author put a lot of effort and passion in creating such an ambitious world. The titular Tower is full of mysteries and the societies present within it are engaging as well. The various politics and groups add up to make a world that feels alive in many ways. The many tests and trials the characters go through are also unique and fun. It reminds of Hunter x Hunter and One Piece in the way it's structured. The artwork starts rough, but over time it becomes quite good. The panel layout utilizes the scrolling of digital manwha well and the character designs are all very unique as well. Overall, it has an interesting world, lore, and presentation.

However, I have many issues with this series. The characters can be quite lacking for example. Many have cool designs, origins, and abilities but tend to one note, forgettable, and undeveloped. It also does not help that there are so many characters. Even the protagonist, Baam, can be dull and bit uninteresting. The series also has immense power creep and anyone who is not a main character will have a hard time keeping up. My final critique is that the story does not utilize its interesting setting to its full potential. The many societies, races, and people of the tower tend to lose focus as the series goes on.

Overall, Tower of God is an enjoyable and engaging series despite its shortcomings. It has a cool premise and setting but has issues in its character writing and worldbuilding. A fun read but not as great as it could be.
