Tower of God review

Tower of God is one of those WebToons which wants to be everything. I love Tower of God with its beautiful art, great character development but I believe the story is being strangled by its own ideals.

Art: 8/10
The art is badass but not beautiful (-1) or unique(-1). It makes up with colored pages though which is a plus.

Character: 8/9
I like how both Bam and Rachel are progressing in different directions after starting from the same point. Also, the individual personalities of other powerful people are so prominent that it feels believable. The characters have their own conflict and problems in life which makes it realistic in a way.

True Adventurers missing (-1): There is no one, and I mean it, no one climbing to the top (I am talking strong) for the fun of it. There is no 3rd group who do not give a shit if the world ends. (I mean there is Rachel but all her insecurities shows that she is not climbing for the stars. I would be shocked if she was actually.) I mean this is epic fantasy.

World-Building: 8/10
The world is big with a lot of mysteries. The Shinsu system is also a hard-magic system which is great because there are really few shows with hard magic systems. But the problems start piling up.
Flaws:
1. All the people who were chosen on the first floor are rising the tower without any problems but the author indicated that the Shinsu concentration increases gradually. So considering it is like our atmosphere, how the heck is everyone climbing up? Is it setting up to be a fairy tail of good vs evil? Although it can be like MHA and deal with a lot of other issues with such a big and expansive world. I do not like the wasted potential. But, still a long way to go for the manga, so just (-1) for unused world.

2. There are so many people that are getting killed in the inner tower that the motive of FUG feels hollow since we haven't seen poor people, slaves, oppression, female rape, any type of effect on normal people which is 10x greater than the candidates. (-1) for not making Jahad feel ominous.

Story: 8/9
Team-Ups (-1): They should learn from Bungou stray dogs or Re:Zero or Red Rising or Sarah J. Maas. The team-ups in this world feel a little naive.
FOR A PARALLEL OF ToG's logic WITH REAL WORLD: "Many people don't like the current state of politics, so let's just join the terrorist group instead of making our own resistance group."


[Note: 1 reserved for after the story is complete because no story is perfect unless it connects with personal life or handles a lot of human themes which brings tears to eyes.]

Enjoyment: 10/10 Otherwise why I would I still be reading it?

Overall: 8/9
[1 reserved] and (-1) for all the reasons above.
