Terrible Opinions posted:Wasn't Tower of God kinda haphazard and mediocre as a webtoon too? I wouldn't say "mediocre," but it's one of those series where it's hard to say what's a writing flaw and what's a brilliant idea. The aspect that's most clearly a flaw is that a lot of the fight scenes heavily involve big generic energy blasts. It has some great atmosphere at times, but a lot of the plot/setting/characterization is rather vague, convoluted, or both. But of course a lot of that atmosphere comes precisely from the vagueness and convolutedness. "I want to see the stars because I'm afraid of the night" is a memorable line in part because of its multiple possible meanings in context, none of which feel wholly adequate to explain the actions of the character who utters it. There's a lot of Hunter x Hunter style high-stakes game-like scenarios with fairly complex rule sets, and it's hard to say how much this creates interesting situations to think through the tactical implications of vs. how much it's a satire of the gamified and hyper-competitive late-capitalist world vs. how much it's just false complexity to distract from the blandness of the energy blasts. So, I don't know how to feel about it, and "haphazard" may not be wrong, but it's probably not "mediocre."
