Very popular, yet still underrated
Content type: Manhwa, Webcomic (Korea)
Author: "Slave in Utero" (pseudonym)
Date:
1 July 2014 to present
Release schedule:
Weekly; every Monday
Plot:
"What do you desire? Money and wealth? Honor and pride? Authority and power? Revenge? Or something that transcends them all? Whatever you desire—it's here."
The story starts with The 25th Baam (his companions just call him Baam), who was alone all in a pit, his life has entered the tower to chase after his only friend, Rachel, who abandoned him to ascend The Tower.
My thoughts:
This is an amazing title, with a complete self contained universe and lore. being able to create such a universe, without borrowing off other sources is hard (think of how many other fantasy stories draw off "Lord of the Rings", or How many Scifi Titles draw off "2001: a Space Odyssey"and "Star Trek"). if the Plot section put you off, fear not, it gets better, a LOT better! the only thing I am able to compare it to Ring now is the Naruto series
Of all the material I have read, this one is most deserving of an Anime.
(if you are reading this, and you're stinking rich, and are looking to blow your money on something please grant my wish, and make this happen)
