Following the immense success of Solo Leveling and Tower of God, the Korean manhwa series has generated significant buzz online, captivating several new readers to the lesser-known world of Korean Webtoons. Despite generating an enormous fanbase, many fans aren’t aware of the anime’s roots and rise as a popular Korean webtoon (manhwa) series.
Despite the four-year-long delay in its release, Tower of God Season 2 took the entire internet by storm. After Rachel’s betrayal, Season 2 showcases Baam starting from scratch on the quest to climb the Tower. The Tower is divided into multiple floors, each with unique environments and challenges, governed by powerful entities, called Administrators.
In spite of Tower of God‘s immense popularity, the series is heading towards its ruin. This is a result of its excessive plot armor and lengthy chapters, which have tarnished its decade-long run and undermined the story’s core appeal.
How Tower of God Manhwa Compromised Its Decade-Long Legacy
Tower of God‘s Season 1 left fans at a cliffhanger with Rachel’s sudden betrayal, leaving Baam and viewers full of questions and frustration. Owing to Season 1’s success, the latest season received positive feedback from fans, becoming an instant hit in the community.
Season 2 brings Baam’s character into the limelight as he takes on a more prominent role. Baam joins FUG to save his friends from an unknown life-threatening danger. The once cheerful and innocent kid is now the secret weapon destined to kill Jahad, The King of the Tower.
While ToG is generating buzz online, the same cannot be said for its manhwa, which quickly fell into decline due to flaws in its narrative and plot. The manhwa series starts losing its spark as the story progresses, leaving several readers disappointed.

Especially during the Training arc, Death Floor arc, and The Name Place arc, fans criticize the author’s numerous flaws, noting that the story becomes nonsensical and progresses solely due to plot armor.
Not to mention, the manhwa often sets up deadly scenarios, yet no characters face tragic fates, and the lore has become overcrowded with too many characters, making the story feel cluttered. Many fans blame the manhwa’s declining popularity for its lengthy chapters, which lack significant character development.
The Next Big Manhwa After Solo Leveling and Tower of God That Deserves an Anime Adaptation
Among all the iconic manhwa titles, Legend of the Northern Blade is a standout classic in the Korean manhwa industry, celebrated for its remarkable achievements. The Legend of the Northern Blade, made by Hae-Min, is a story about Jin Mu-Won that follows the themes of revenge, betrayal, and redemption.
Following a tragic backstory to his path of vengeance, Jin Mu-Won’s struggle is an admirable one. The manhwa delivers a thrilling and action-packed experience that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The beloved protagonist’s harsh journey makes the reader question the true meaning of suffering and love.
The hype around The Northern Legend Blade is undeniable, with fans captivated by its manhwa panels and eagerly hoping the adaptation will do it justice. Owing to manhwa’s splendid and breathtaking panels, fans only trust the profound production studio Ufotable to bring their beloved series to life.
Ufotable has gained quite a reputation for not only its animation but also the rich aesthetics that leave fans awe-struck by the studio’s creation. Not to forget, Demon Slayer Season 4’s last episode provided a cinematic experience that led many to praise the studio.
Tower of God is available on Crunchyroll.
