Okay, I know I might get heat for this, but thank god SOMEONE else has the same feelings I do about Tower of God.

I spent the last week binge-reading over 300 chapters and my feelings are still the same as this piece. At this point I will exclusively read for Khun and Rak. https://twitter.com/Anime/status/1273707064930508801">https://twitter.com/Anime/sta...
Tower of God has an absolute bonkers plot with SO MANY factors that aren& #39;t fleshed out that it doesn& #39;t make much sense past the surface level.

It is a Halloween candy variety pack of characters, many I love hence my stubborn determination to read these chapters.
But...I can& #39;t do Bam. He& #39;s slightly better 300+ chapters in but that isn& #39;t much of a compliment.

ToG did everything in its power to make me not like Rachel. I don& #39;t, but not because of what she did to Bam. He was/is uncomfortably possessive, and later on lashes out about it.
I don& #39;t like Rachel because, like Bam, she doesn& #39;t do anything and relies on others. The only difference is Bam is OP for a mysterious reason.

And Rachel relies on others for muaha selfish evil manipulation vs. Bam& #39;s better selfish desire to save LITERALLY EVERYONE.
I feel like there was potential for something more, but Rachel as a villain just got boiled down to jealousy and an inferiority complex.

Honestly, a lot of ToG& #39;s character conflicts might be solved if they sat and TALKED IN A ROOM FOR MORE THAN TWO MINUTES.
Meanwhile, Khun also is becoming overly-dependent on Bam but it weirdly makes sense based on the little info from his backstory we get.

We have a menagerie of compelling characters that get seconds in the spotlight to support Bam and it gives me whiplash.
The group just gets bigger with every arc, and as soon as I adjust and the new characters grow on me, they up and leave for reasons and then there is a time skip for training.

Although, thank you ToG for not making me sit through 10 training arcs with Bam.
Look, if you love it, no shame at all. I am still reading it! However, I am scared the more active ToG fanbase is going to drag me to The Floor of Death for this thread.

I also think it is important that it is supported, and hope for more WEBTOON anime past this initial lineup.
But the hype has been so vast, I& #39;ve been nervous to make any sort of comment that wasn& #39;t 100% praise. It was really fun to read @LossThief and @Liuwdere use their great humor to break it down, and hear that I am actually not alone in my feelings about this series.
Also,

"Turns out her Ultimate Villain Of Manwha level crime was to yeet the worst character in the show down a hole."

might be my favorite line I& #39;ve ever read in a TWiA column, and I read a lot of them. I cackled.
