These backstories are worth it if they're building up to Yasratcha trying to do the same thing to Baam Khun Rakk and getting punched in his stupid face.

I'm hoping Bam deals with White. Can't keep him around for yet another betrayal.

Yeah this chapter gives me a better idea of what he's going for, but I still wish it weren't basically just "random guy who dies this episode stares into the camera and explains the theme to you."

I mean, this is what White the Wight monologued this chapter. He's chasing Bam to try and force him to seek power because it will lead to Bam becoming comfortable with power and eventually pursuing power for powers sake. So we get all these no names who went down that path getting chumped to drive the theme home. Hopefully they can all die soon and we'll get to the new adventures of Rak and Anaak

If White eats her soul, maybe that lady will be free as well. I'm not really feeling this game, with the parade of one-and-done adversaries that get a backstory sequence. Hopefully it'll get better soon!

This is going to be the trigger for Bam to go Super Saiyan Irregular, right? Find yet another untapped source of power to finally beat White?


Kinda wondering if the time perception cheat is a skill Bam has now mastered after being subjected to it.

I will say no more than these incredibly vauge generalities, which I will still spoiler but things are looking very interesting in terms in where Baam and White are in the fast pass chapters. Also there are interesting cuts to other situations. As a tease: Khun.

Yama and Bam really could've used some items about 20 minutes ago. I blame Rak for the team being slow to get to the game room.

Don't worry. Now that Khun has a way to use his intellect to influence the challenge, he's going to unequivocally tip the balance. I'd put money on him interrupting the possible incoming White/Baam fight when Baam's about to lose or compromise who he is to beat White.

They didn't introduce a tragic backstory for an enemy that immediately gets killed, so it flows better at least.

This story is going to stop with a cliffhanger where Bam is seemingly about to kill Anaak for an arbitrary reason, the SIU's body will completely give up and we'll never get an ending.

hah, you're ahead of me, even. if we're okay with linking that sort of thing now, i wouldn't mind one. siu should have a patreon or something, i'm only off the street due to being well established in a place with rent so low you couldn't find a cardboard box for it around here anymore. but i'm still going to shoot $20 to the guy who literally destroyed his body entertaining me if i can.

i'm unsure of the legality and i want to stress these translations are pretty terrible and the quality of them even worse. but just google tower of god kami no tou and you'll get there. I still read the fast pass chapters because I'm happy to pay the tiny amount each chapter and I like the way better quality version

i make a point generally of never talking about them here for obvious reasons and mostly the fast pass too

Yeah, I may or may look into it, but it's nice to have the option when you just have to know what happens next.

Likewise I read ahead a lot in Kubera, but it's awkward because the new stuff is only available as a translated script and you have to switch between it and the raw.

This week's fast pass for both have some just terrible moments, like PSX-era Square game translations without any of the charm.
