Blanche's reputation might be stirring up a bit more trouble than expected. She probably would've killed Pierre but left her sister to suffer in her position. Probably... Her reputation though says "destroy the kingdom." lol

Hear those? Funeral bells.

Well, that obsession just skyrocketed up to 11, right into recklessness.

oh no

Well, this Riccardo spent literal years in a dungeon being tortured, so this is a likely outcome. Still, when are we getting puppy Riccardo back?

... She should've set her house on fire before sneaking out. lol

WHO STOLE THE KILL?

Well, this chapter is just squeezing all the juice out of the lemon.
And by lemon, the clashing between the two worlds and the priorities of the characters.

2/2
Anyway, then, joke upon joke, a new character pops in and changes the entire situation three times over. It's like someone is trying to make a point out of everything, but gets smacked and is forced to rewrite it so it builds up to something that becomes tangentially relevant in around 100 to 200 chapters or something. I don't even know. I thought GoH sucked with its absurdly long flashback that hit like 30 chapters or something, but at least it has the decency to apologize and never do it again.

I used to spend time and go around rereading some earlier chapters to tie stuff together to make sense of what the author is hoping I get from this. This is why I know for fact that these stretches of chapters that are barely relevant to ANYTHING come along. That "10 chapters later" remark from earlier wasn't a joke.

Currently, they're casually showing off the backstory for the main villains - and there's a pointless debate on whether or not they deserve forgiveness. Anyone with half a braincell can say "Nope. If I shoot your mom in the face, would you forgive me because I stubbed my toe earlier? Exactly. Moving on."

Season 1 is like 4/5.
Season 2 starts at a 3/5 with some mystery going on because it doesn't tell you what happened post-rug pull -> but as the mystery gets stripped away, it becomes less mystery and more dysentery. So it falls down to around a 3/10.
Season 3 starts off around a 2/5 and frankly, I gave up before finishing it, so 0/5.
I don't recommend this past season 1. Finish season one, experience the rug pull and then just pretend that rocks fell and everyone died and go read something else.

1/2
I'mma keep it real with anyone reading this comment: ToG is one of the first manhwa I picked up over a literal decade ago. I started reading it and I also picked up some other manhwa around that time, namely Noblesse and God of High School. Time goes by and I read more and more manhwa. Noblesse finishes. GoH finishes. Most manhwa have finished when their timeline hits over a decade of length.
2010 until now and ToG still hasn't finished. It is apparently really popular over in Korea since it got a freakin' gacha garbage made after it. I hate gacha but that's not the point.

Back on topic: ToG starts off slow. It sets things up carefully, then pulls the rug from under you, leaving you befuddled and wanting more. The problem is that it starts to lose resemblance of a normal plot. The main goal of "climb the tower" feels virtually gone at some points - and I'm not referring to the specific points where Mr. Main Character's life is in danger and he needs to survive.
It tries to take its world building, well written characters and stuff -> and then expand on them. The result is that you can get a stretch of several chapters where it's just seeing characters doing stuff that will tangentially become relevant around 10 chapters later.

And talking. So much talking. I can read a lot of text just fine; I can dish it out as well as I can take it since this comment is pretty darn long -> but the problem is that they keep talking and talking but almost nothing is said. Imagine another three sentences right here, around 40 words, that have no purpose, and you're experiencing what it's like to read through these chunks of ToG. Go now: 1 to 40.

Yes I dropped it. I didn't drop it around chapter 50 so you can be like "meh, it isn't for you." Good sir, no. I dropped it around chapter 500. Not hyperbole; it was around the cat and dog game thing - that suddenly spawns in a board game with more instructions than freakin' Uno. I read through all that and through the combat where "the good guys" (read: person we're supposed to be rooting for, since all that happens plays around with the concepts that are not black and white, but are almost always in a grey area) fight the "big bad guy" (also, let's add a chapter where we see how "evil" this guy is).
This brings me to another problem with this work: power levels are a freakin' joke. It follows the rules of "because I said so."
"Roar! I'm strong!" -> loses. "oh no... wait" flashback -> uh, stuff, I guess -> "Roar! I'm strong!" -> loses again anyway. WELL WHAT WAS THE POINT IN ANY OF THAT?
If you're thinking "You're kidding." No. And it isn't funny either. How so? That section of "flashback -> uh stuff I guess" is like 5 to 10 chapters.

Yeah uh... why did she imagine they'd be upset with her?

She really is one of the dumbest Villainesses that I've come across... if not THE dumbest.

Yessssssss. Less talking, more doing!

End your world of the blight that is this piece of trash!
And his followers.

Seriously, no talking. Just bonk and go.

Well, they are drawing it out further than I would've liked, but they at least added something more to it.

Not exactly sure how you "If you can't beat'em, join'em" this situation. Unless you mean loving Blanche... or by the title, worshipping her.

I do appreciate how her first reaction to seeing him -> is to grab him by the collar to choke him for losing her money. lol

He may not make her heart flutter, but he is still a valuable companion. You can value people without getting romantically involved.


Also, importantly, Blanche's dad is this world's version of Donald Drumpf. A rich person, born rich, given everything, never lifts a finger to do any hard work, and expects everyone in the world to be happy that he exists, despite being a piece of trash on every imaginable level.
How many times have we seen him literally do the "You will sacrifice your own life for my sake!" thing? Yes, he uses the phrase "for the family" -> but he really means himself. He takes any objections with a "Oh, I knew that would make you happy" approach as if he's doing them a favor by letting him step all over them; and if you really object, he is genuinely surprised and labels you as ungrateful. He literally told his son "you should be grateful that you were born as my son." Dude, in your prime, that kid faked an illness because of the misery you inflicted upon him. He would've lived a happier life if he was born to some no-name lower-class people.
You can see this in how his kids act. Three out of the four are monsters like him -> they bullied the fourth. One of them grew up a bit and realized the error of his ways; the second was thrown away by him -> she turned around and exiled him to get him away from her. The third is desperate to get away from him but is failing to... and we all know about the fourth one.

I almost forgot about these pieces of trash. I registered them as "dead" and moved on.

Slowly but surely. 19 chapters left... I hope they don't draw this out for 19 more chapters.
I hope it's like 4 more chapters and then 15 "honey moon" chapters where it's just wholesome fanservice. 15 might be too many, but drawing this out for 9 to 15 more chapters sounds worse.

CALLING HIM OUT! IN HIS FACE!
You big disgrace. Somebody better put you back in your place!

No, I don't know why this song came to my mind, but it did and now it's in your head too.

The mix-match between the two Ricardos and the completely different priorities is absolutely hilarious.
