WHAT DID SIU MEAN BY THIS

[spicyrouletteburrito]

Bam might be a Daddy’s boy but he sure is a rebellious one

Bam: i would sacrifice a whole race of people’s lives for my father figure

Also Bam: my dad said no for my own good but i dont wanna >:(

Bam really went for the rebellious teen phase in the most teen way possible

For science. Has anyone here just even heard of tower of god? May or may not have to go bonkers about it again and just need to know. How many of yall will be what the hell is he yapping on about and how many of yall will at least have an inkling what I’m saying

"Welcome back."

ToG anime season 2 finally reaches its final episode! 🥹🥹 It was a fun ride having double ToG Sundays (with the manhwa too), and I've seen many new fans joining and makes the fandom even merrier! Thank you for season 2! Manifesting S3 anime now hehe

Just read TOG Urek spinoff

Y'know, I'm conflicted about the title. On one hand, simply Urek's full name is a statement full of aura. But on the other hand, pretty sure there are other cool ass titles out there.

Me: I know Urek's lore has something to do with Phantaminum. Urek spinoff: *literally opens with Phantaminum lore* Me: WHAT

I almost expected there is a "let there be light" line in that opening act lol.

So whatever the fuck is outside the tower where Phantaminum and Urek originated from, I wonder if it also has anything to do with the Great Warriors too.

It's amazing that even though the premise is more or less the same (Bam and Urek as irregulars coming to the tower with no knowledge whatsoever, the tests are similar), the weight of the conflict as well as the temperaments between them and their surrounding are all different. It has that nostalgic feeling but still a different story altogether.

So what's going on with the rose-haired Jahad princess? It seems like she's affiliated to something? I'm not entirely sure. I'm waiting for her name reveal omg who the hell is she? Surely not Enne or Yuram (Garam's twin sister) right?

Rohan is funny lol I thought he'd be annoying but turns out he's a bro.

Something about Neo feels like Khun lmao

Lu and Evelyn are so cute!! But I have a feeling there will be something tragic... Lu who exactly are you?

Danzon pisses me off but then I see him with his pajama and like, ok you pass lmao.

Ok I'm not sure why they aren't immediately planning to publish it in other language just like the original series? I still have leftover coins not used since S3 ended. C'mon Webtoon, don't you love money?

Bam with his horns

[goldenworldsabound]

Ugh tog s1 is so good. Just finished my rewatch. The art. The entire arc as a whole. It's just so so so good. I like s2 and s3 (webtoon only atm) but like you can't beat s1

#25.1 Delivery

Wangnan kneeled down on the floor, watching helplessly as Lurker-fucking-Kim took the signed paper and made his way out.

The next test would be his last chance. He couldn't fail it no matter what. Or he'd become a skeleton.

"Huh," Lurker paused his steps. There was someone peeking through the two da-an bodyguards that blocked the entrance. "Who are you?"

"Noodles delivery." The delivery guy replied to him emotionlessly. Well, as far as Wangnan knew, he had always been like that.

Lurker turned to Wangnan, mocking. "What… So you still feel hunger, even after failing the test?"

His blood boiled, but he could only spat words. "What, can't I eat noodles even if I failed? Rich coming from you, the enemy of every regular!"

"Don't get mad." Lurker giggled, handing the delivery guy some cash. "Hey, here. I'll pay for him."

The delivery guy hesitated before taking it. "Sure."

Lurker rolled his eyes and turned back to Wangnan. "Make sure to pay me back–" He grinned, gleefully looking down at him– "With. Your. Organs."

Each word that came out of Lurker's mouth gave Wangnan a chill that creeped up his spine, freezing his body. He could only breathe when Lurker finally closed the door and left.

After a few moments of silence, the delivery guy crouched down. Only the clinking of metal and ceramic could be heard as he worked to set down Wangnan's order on the floor.

The atmosphere was very awkward. Wangnan couldn't stand the silence.

"Damn…If I knew he was going to pay, I would have ordered sweet and sour pork, too." Wangnan grumbled. "A bowl of noodles in exchange for my body is too cheap. Damn it…"

The delivery guy looked at Wangnan for a moment, not giving much of a response. It only made the room even more awkward, so Wangnan felt the urgent need to change the topic.

"Hey, you're a regular too, right?" Because Wangnan was sure he had seen him a few days ago, signing up for the test.

The guy took a moment too long to consider how to answer his simple question. "...I guess I am."

He must've failed that test then…just like Wangnan himself. Why else would he still be here anyway, doing delivery work?

The guy had been working at that noodle shop ever since the first time Wangnan discovered the restaurant. It had been quite a while ago. "When will you be taking the test again?"

The guy shrugged. "I don't plan to."

Well, might as well encourage him to get both of their spirits up. "Failing the test doesn't mean you should give up."

"What do you mean?" He looked confused and sounded a bit offended. "I have not taken the test, so technically..."

Wangnan blinked. "Huh." The sign up fee should be paid in full up front, so getting cold feet at the last moment would totally be a waste.

…Though, it was also possible that he was mistaking him for another person. They did look slightly different, Wangnan recalled. If that was the case, then he was glad he didn't try to greet the guy. That would be embarrassing. "Why didn't you take the test, then?"

The guy looked away. "There are things I can't leave behind."

It was very vague, perfect for a topic starter. Anything to get rid of the awkwardness between them. "Things you can't leave behind, huh…do you have a family here?"

"I'm not sure if I would call it a family."

What a curious answer. "I know Nia who works at your place."

"I see. He talked about you, too."

Oh? That was unexpected. They did interact now and then, but it shouldn't really be notable. "What did he say about me?"

"Not much, 'the funny blonde guy that lives in an apartment'. Mister Ja."

Of course. Wangnan didn't know what to feel about that. At least Nia found him funny, maybe that was good enough. "How is he?"

The guy gave him a side eye. "It's hard to say."

Wangnan slumped. This guy was really a man of few words.

"Oh, that's right. Nia asked me to give you this." The guy took out a round paper from his pocket. "It's a free coupon, he said he will treat you after you take the next test."

"Oh, sweet!" Wangnan felt so touched he could cry, especially after all the hardships he had to get through the past few hours. "Nia, you're the best!"

The delivery guy didn't look too happy about that, though. He just wordlessly packed up his things and got up after handing him the coupon. Wangnan almost felt relieved.

"You two seemed close. It'd be nice if you could talk to him when you get the chance." The guy looked away when saying that, there was a hint of worry on his face. "Lately he's been…distant."

He'd love to talk to Nia, but Wangnan also didn't know if he could make the time before the next test began.

However, the guy was already stepping out without waiting for his answer. "I will take my leave now. Good luck on the next test, Wangnan Ja."

Wangnan was slightly surprised that he knew his full name, but it was probably written in his order information. "...Thanks."

And with that, the busy delivery guy was gone. This was why he never had the chance to talk to him before, or even ask for his name.

Maybe they mean the god that is inhabiting his body? Remember that Bam originally died before Arlene offered him to an outside god. It says "it wasn't supposed to be you originally". Originally may be the key word. The god wasn't originally supposed to be in a body, but now it is.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEAN?!

WHO THE HELL WAS IT?!

Ain’t no way it was actually Rachel, I refuse to believe it

Asterisks are working titles. W is Weevil, not Wallace, which is not to say I don't love Wallace.

Trying to keep it to chaptered fics that I have at least a chapter's worth of material for already or it would be 30+ options long.

in reference to the have you read LO poll by god have I tried but god. God...

A vicious cycle. I go okay I really do need to plow through more of it if I'm gonna hang around the ULO reddit, and then I step on the comically placed rake. I can't do a complete skip thing bc I'll be too disorientated on where I'm at in the plot but my brain only tolerates it up until she declares she's missing her dick appointment and like, girl. Please. You committed mass murder (if not genocide) and this is a slap on the wrist considering, let alone that your moms got the worse end of the deal.

Why it's that specific moment idk but the bottom just drops out for me and it's soooo fucking stupid because like, she couldn't have just... bitched about being stuck with hard labor? That's the bitchy shit I'd sort of expect from a privileged nepo baby and even barring the twue wuv story going on it's her actual biggest issue going on right then. What she's presently living out. But yeah no, horny, we gotta establish that she's horny. Okay.

Sorry about the borderline vent over it there's just enough really interesting thoughts mixed up in the pile of flaming garbage to make one go rabid if they stew on it, and you clearly get that given the rewrite. Have a good day.

omg i've had that exact sort of thing happen with me before too tho, not in quite the exact same sense of like, "wanting to take part in a community but struggling to get through the source material it's based on", but there are like, so many webtoons and manga and stories I've tried to read - after being urged to by pals and people who read them - that I've dropped after multiple attempts of trying to read them. And they're not necessarily dumpster fires like LO (though some of them definitely aren't great) it's more like I'm sitting there wondering "when's this gonna get good? when's this gonna be worth all the hype?" Tower of God is the biggest one that comes to mind, I have tried to read that webtoon on SEVERAL occasions and I just can't justify trudging through all those early episodes for it to maybe "get good". And that's not even me saying it's bad, it's just not interesting to me in the slightest. No hate to anyone who likes ToG, I think I've also sorta drifted away from shonen over the years so that's definitely not helping, but I just can't be bothered to try and read that webtoon anymore, I've given it so many attempts and I'm doing lmao Kudos to the creator though because it's a LOT of work to make a webtoon of that length and they should be proud of that.

Back on the topic of LO though, yeah, I was following the comic when that episode was still brand new and it really made us all go 🤨 because of how out-of-pocket it was. And then like an episode (or two?) later she bullied a former classmate of hers from 10 years ago at his job. That was the precedent for Persephone's character that was set for the third season of LO and it's just gotten worse as it's gone on.

Either way, if I'm being honest, you're really not missing much by skipping over the majority of S3 (like, if you made it to the dick appointment episode before giving up then you're already pretty close to the current point in the story). Like I'm not gonna lie, you could easily skip up to the midseason cutoff point because everything leading up to that is just a bunch of nothing. Hades and Persephone get married and it's the most underwhelming scene ever despite it being the moment people had been waiting years for, also they 'adopt' Dionysus but he's barely in the comic except for when Rachel remembers he's a character so you could also get by on minimal details. Oh yeah, and it turns out Demeter had a kid during the 10 year time skip who we see in like two episodes and then proceeds to get fridged forever.

So yeah, as much as I'd recommend people read LO as a sort of "entry ticket" into the crit community surrounding it, S3 is a lot of nothing and you would frankly not miss out on a thing if you skimmed it or skipped the middle portion of it entirely lmao
