I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.

If you live in the US the Raws come out in the afternoon on sunday. As far as other Webcomics I second Trace/Noblesse being darn good, I'm liking Dr.Frost and City of the Dead magician so far as well, but they don't have much translated yet. I have a soft spot for knights run but that translation sadly got dropped :smith:

Yeah, I've just recently started browsing through the Naver comics; some of them are really good. If I was still in college, I'd offer my translation services to a scans group, but now I have bills to pay. :(

Considering he already had a flashback as Baam once the subject of being alone came up, that doesn't seem too likely.

This would be pretty amusing, but I don't see how it could be possible at this point since we've already had Rachel flashbacks.

I think this series does exposition really well (it reminds me of HxH) but I really do hope we get to see Baam and/or Koon dropped into a really crazy battle or test soon. I really liked the crown game...

These tests almost always have fake names on the scoreboards, remember the earlier tests?

Chapter 8 came out quite early this week.

So Baam will be playing a game to determine whether he has to pick teammates or not (or something like that), and because this part is (supposedly) about Ja Wangnan, he'll almost certainly lose.

Only took 8 chapters to see his drat eyes. Good to see BaamViole's finally living up to his irregular title though. He pretty much declared war on the tower itself just now.

Huh. I wonder why he's gunning for Zahard. Rachel was the one who betrayed him after all, so I guess either something must have happened in the timeskip or he learned something about Zahard.

I assume That whomever FUG is they are the ones that found Baam after Rachel nearly killed him and part of helping him find her again is his help with this whole Anti Zahard situation.

...on the plus side I'm feeling much more angry now than I expected so this totally helps me get in character.
The April Fools joke was a pun on ToG = Tower of Gold, I think, in addition to being a fake update to trick you into thinking there was an early release

That was a good chapter. The author definitely has a sense of humour when it comes to poking fun at the androgyny of some of his characters.

Looks like at least a few of the regulars don't mind the idea of going against Zahard.

I think he was the guy who had two swords. The Sword Which Flies Higher Than Any Other and The Sword Which Flies Lower Than Any Other.

He was the son of a potter.

Also it was mentioned that swords suck more and more as you climb the tower so I guess that might be why he lost.

Also, Rapdevil. That's a fantastic name.

Right - and the swords sucking as you climb the tower was from a blog post, the reasoning has to do with increasing shinsoo density as you climb, so they become more difficult to swing, or some-such. That's why Needle weapons are more popular. I suppose that goes for spears as well.

I wonder if it's odd that I look forward releases of this more than anything except maybe One Piece & Advance of the Giants? I read Naruto and Bleach less than an hour ago and I honestly can't even remember what happened in those.

It's not odd, ToG is honestly really quite good. Naruto and Bleach have gotten boring as poo poo. Sasuke can hardly be called interesting. ToG did a much better job of having a character become a sort-of-antagonist.

I may have misremembered! There are in fact a couple of collections of the blog posts, between which you should be able to find most.

Seeing as Love probably means to whack him despite orders to the contrary, it's more like Baam while have to survive.

He will probably survive with TEAMWORK and then oh poo poo all those new guys are screwed since they're now associated with FUG. Better keep them with him so he can keep them safe!

Um...the translators or the actual artist? Because the actual creator is a professional, and gets paid by Naver, the Korean website that hosts the original, for this comic.

Speaking of - I've been told that he's paid based on some combination of views and ratings. With that said if you want to support the author check out his comic at:

http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/list.nhn?titleId=183559

Supposing you can make an account, you could even help raise his already high ratings. (I think the lowest he's gotten was a 9.4).

Yes, please visit the naver sites of Korean webcomics you enjoy. I think the ones being translated are Tower of God, Noblesse, and Special Martial Arts Extreme Hell Private High School. The translators usually have the links to the chapter in goo.gl form; give the professionals a pageview or two!

I've been considering it. That and describing it misleadingly so those who read it will have their expectations blown away for better or worse.
