Seeing how Denji was literally in pieces and look, he's fine -> that logic will most certainly apply to Natuya too.

Well, this was an incredibly short chapter.
Still, I called it, he dead.

"Never meet your heroes" is a popular saying.

Well, this manhwa certainly doesn't do a good job whatsoever when it comes to writing the villains as characters. "The baddies are bad" is about all they've accomplished. In its defense, not that it necessarily deserves a defense -> the baddies tend to die a lot and fairly quickly too.

lol. Yeah... It's both. Capitalism is the system we live under -> where making money is all that matters. Morals? Who cares about that? If they can get away with it, they'd tax us for BREATHING and it would be perfectly legal under capitalism.

So we have a system we live under... and we have the propaganda in this system to get us to want something. It isn't just diamonds but a ton of things. There are purses and shoes out there that are more expensive than my computer. Why? Propaganda under capitalism.
etc etc.

Starts off around a 8/10. Loses steam and drops to around a 5/10 by the time you finish it.
World building isn't very deep, but it does establish some interest.
Characters are written down hastily to set the scene, but not too hastily that it makes no sense.
The journey of the character has some stops and starts. The obvious one will keep you going for a while but that gets wrapped up -> and there's like 20 chapters left. It's moments like this when the quality drops.

I do recommend it if you're a fan of the Villainess genre.

Be aware of two things before going in:
1) this is perhaps the dumbest Villainess in the genre that I've read so far.
and 2) Shame it doesn't do more with action, as violence is a premium currency in this world and Ms. Main Character is FREAKIN' RICH!

Well, congratz on finishing it. I kept seeing you saying "I'm done!" lol

The amusement is in the journey. As whacky as it may be, a journey is still a journey. I think it's a shame they didn't focus more on the action as violence is a premium currency in this world and Ms. Main character is rich. lol

Like when on the board game, I wanted her to do a quick 180 when the old man walked past her -> and pull his heart out of his chest through his back.

Well, GGs.

I will say this again: this is the dumbest Villainess I've ever read while reading through this genre. If she was in another story where brute force isn't the premium currency, she wouldn't have survived.

hmmm. I'd give it a meh score, like, 5/10. If you like the genre, read it. It starts off strong, weakens, and then eventually ends. No wholesome bonus fanservice chapters of a happy life.

The power to read minds is useful, but cannot create miracles where you're gonna lose no matter what.

It's a testament to how horrible the father was -> that these kids are just murdering each other like this. There is zero chance they'll ever go back to being siblings, huh?

hmmm, I sure wish there was less talking and more doing. This Ms. Main Character has been established to be really dumb compared to the usual Villainess, and yet she babbles on and on.

She stronger than you. Why would she need you?

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.
