Yeon-woo had a twin brother who disappeared five years ago. One day, a pocket watch left by his brother returned to his possession. Inside, he found a hidden diary in which was recorded “By the time you hear this, I guess I will be already dead….”

Obelisk, the Tower of the Sun God, a world where several universes and dimensions intersect. In this world, his brother had fallen victim to betrayal while climbing up the tower. After learning the truth, Yeon-woo decided to climb the tower along with his brother’s diary.

“From now on, I am Cha Jeong-woo.”

Amazing pace. This is such a good novel that you should read immediately. If you like dungeon and leveling type novel this is one of best choice. It also has OP mc

I have never seen a more generic Korean tower system novel in my life. And, unlike other novels who at least have some ideas, this one just never gets good. It's an endless power up and ability gatherfest. Yeon-woo continues to gobble up skills and attributes which adds immense bloat and is a boring form of power progression. Couldn't bring myself to continue.

You know what, I never made it to the AllForOne fight. That thing that was hyped up the entire novel, and I never made it there.

It is good I want more things similiar to this! I like how protagonist changes from hartless man with only revange in his hart to someone with other feelings. It is well written. Well I personally like more the begging version of MC. But if not his change I would have never got to know other characters so I can not say nothing. Olso it would be probably boring. So I think it is the best tower story I've read so far. Highly recommended.

I loved this novel. It was one of the best I have ever read. The plot was the usual strong to stronger MC then becoming OP but it didn't make me lose interest in it as I am a fan of this type of MC's.
Spoiler

It was different from other stories where Hades and Kronos are bad people. Although Kronos is viewed negatively at first we come to like him as a father because he went mad due to the black king not because of his greed to remain the king. The plot twist where all of Yeon woo's family is alive made me so happy. Hades being a reliable older brother was so likable, adorable, and made him look dependable. Also him carrying a lot of responsibility on his shoulders made it a little sad. He succeeds his throne to Yeon woo maybe because he felt their bond It also portrays Zeus and Poseidon differently from other stories making it enjoyable and not borin

All in all it is one of my favourite novels.

PS: the side stories may not actually be completed as the translator said that author is on hiatus but the side stories will be completed some time

This novel is pretty cliche. Characters are one-dimension (e.g., loyal to a fault, completely selfish, etc). Everyone's life is on the line, but they treat the whole thing as a game and don't seem to care when their friends or clan mates die. Also, the MC grows way too strong way too fast. The powers become hard to understand and you end up reading about fights and completely unable to make any guess about what's going to happen or why.

Gets worse the longer it drags on. Biggest issue is plot convenience. Plot armor for MC is thick, sometimes enemy have some too. Things just get dragged on. Some people like stuff like that. Here is an example of s*upid plot convenience, spoiler free and spoiler verision although trust me, not a big spoiler. So MC gets an elixir, and an "imporatant" side-character is in a comatose for several chapters. MC uses potion to help out one of his servents though; servants are dead people whose soul have been used... more>> by MC to make a ghost like body to fight. A servent, this ghost like thing that prior to this, can "die" infinitely, gets injured by a random super deadly poison, that was first introduced in the same chapter. The virus/poison will never be mentioned again becuase now MC will tell his smart servant to make an antidote for this thing that won't be mentioned ever again. The spoiler version will perhaps explain even more so why this moment was such a waste of time.

Spoiler

So the posion guy who MC builds up from the start, B____ something is his name. At the start and intermittenly, MC will talk about building up posion resistence for his fight against this guy. Once this guy appears, the first thing he does is posion MC servant and thats it. He will then die soon after doing nothing else. He just exists to use up the elixir. This elixir could have been used to help the comatose girl who by chapter 540, is still comatose.

PS. If you're coming from the manhwa, just double the number and look at the chapter titles. If you know what the chapter title means but not the next set of titles, then start there.

There is no reason to start the novel from the start. The relationships are pretty nonsensical regardless and the manhwa does a great job replicating the source material. <<less

The setting of the novel kinda reminds me of Tower of God, which I really love. Anyway, the novel started off great but I think it lost steam and gradually became uninspiring. Stats were no longer relevant, pets were occasional cameos, and for some reason, top dogs were congregating at the lower levels (like why not just let them fight MC at the higher levels?) and the clearing hidden bosses and tower levels became secondary. Not a fan of the overused 'undead subordinates' trope as well. It could be an... more>> interesting novel for others so do give this novel a read. <<less

I have zero idea what the heck just happened, but the writing went ABSOLUTE downhill after chapter 278+, MC suddenly turned into a damsel in distress, power balancing is ALL over the place....

Will update if it gets better but I doubt, seems like the author went into pepega mode.
I recommend reading "Leveling with the Gods" instead, it's superior in everyway compared to this

Love MC's personality trait, intelligent, fearless and revenge driven in a good way unlike other stories when MC is revenge driven to the point of reducing their IQ by anger etc.

Awesome plot and world-building and the blend of mythology; gods/goddesses makes the story so much better, they connect to each other really well in the story.

This is an excellent Tower climbing fantasy novel. It's the standard "climb the tower to get great power" setting but with a ton of depth and lore. Almost too much honestly. It starts getting a little too complex after a while. But it is all very well put together and features the author's take on various mythologies and deities. The revenge plot is done very well and the fights are great.

Give this one a shot if you like the tags.

I’m writing this because there are so many low star reviews and I don’t understand why. Although this story might not be the best of the best, it is still one of the good ones in the tower-climbing/ dungeon crawling category. The world building is super interesting and the characters are likable.
I read the mangwa, continued with the novel because the mangwa was too slow, and now I’m just waiting for the whole story to be completely translated to binge read it.

The novel is really enjoyable despite its inconsistent power levels and plot holes.

Damn never seen these many plot twists in a single series

I gave it a try and it drew me in with his power and way to deal with his problems. He already have cheat code activated from start.

Revange is always on our MC mind.

Really great! It has quite a lot of plot wholes and deus ex machina and other issues from the world building perspective, but the characters are overwhelmingly well thought out and interesting, and it isn't quite so everything always goes perfectly for MC but everyone else is screwed (though it definitely has that issue). There is consistently legitimate suspense as the course of the story isn't obvious from the get-go (besides the he's gonna beat the tower and become God or bring his brother back or something), and the MC... more>> does has character development over the course of the novel. <<less

Really like the novel, seeminly went on hiatus for a long while or maybe that was just the translations. However the new translations are f*cking around with the proficiency levels, MC's proficiency levels keep progressing in a way that does not make sense, e.g. it was 27..28..29..30..31 okay so hes at 31% proficiency level now, then his proficiency goes up again later 28...29...30..33. So annoying he keeps progressing in a loop which leads no where, at least that is what it says, but it might end with him at 47%... more>> later on... still annoying though <<less

This novel is great to pass time. It's quite addictive, but in more of a guilty pleasure kind of way. It's straight forward and doesn't require you to think too much.
