Stuck in the Tower

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

There is only one way to become a hunter, and that is to receive an invitation to climb the tower.

Your strength is determined by the number of floors you have climbed.

A total of 100 floors.
You must either use all your coins or clear all the floors to leave.

[Checking coins for Challenger Jo Hyun-soo.] [Coins: 999,999,999×∞] [Challenger Jo Hyun-soo’s coins are infinite.]

At first, I thought having infinite lives would be great, but…

“I need to clear up to the 100th floor to go home?”

I am Stuck in the tower.

I would consider this in the junk food category of tower novels. It does not make a lot of sense and is not perfectly internally consistent, but if you want to see an OP person struggle against OP monsters in a tower climbing genre with skills/stats go ahead.

While not being internally consistent is annoying, it is possible to ignore it if you don't think on it too much. Here a a few fairly non spoiler examples. Entry into the tower itself. This one could in theory be explained later, or... more>> the author might forget about it. At the start it is presented as fairly random, though within the tower (you can't contact those outside of it until done as far as I know) most characters are already affiliated with a guild. Maybe there is some special way to enter. For the story to make sense there has to be given lots of people seemed to know they were entering ahead of time/trained for it. Yet at least for the MC it felt really random, and was never explained. Not the end of the world, just odd.

A second example is that the MC discovers all sorts of super hidden things none of the large guilds/government has before. Fair enough. Some of them were hidden, some of them really were not. Something like kill extra mobs unlocking a hidden quest no one has discovered before. It is really hard to believe no one has tried to farm out more mobs as practice or to farm points that are needed in the tower. I could see it being uncommon.

Lastly, the MC's luck seems oddly high. Generally speaking, I can accept a certain degree of luck. Typically one lucky event leads to others (without a need for luck). As far as I can tell, he had insane luck at the start which led to some opportunities. This insane luck resulted in him acquiring one really good skill. That skill resulted in him getting a second good skill (which he does not seem to regularly use unless he needs a power up mid fight even though it is a skill that leads to the creation of new skills, which he probably should have practiced before rolling the dice and hoping for luck mid fight?). Then, with no really good reason as far as I can tell, the tower decided, hey, you have two high ranking skills, here are infinite lives. Have fun. It was a reward for being the first to have two high ranking skills? It really does not make a lot of sense. Also, he does not really seem to use the extra lives mentioned in the novel description. I am sure this will change, but it feels really odd. Having infinite lives in a world where most people have 3 (with 6 being really really good) and that being mostly irrelevant to the story seems odd. <<less

The novel starts off with a very interesting premise, but the background lore is ret*rded if you were supposed to take it seriously. That somehow a conspiracy of misinforming the entire world about dungeon information is possible at all, the author tried to explain this with a plot point that appears on floor 6, but it just doesn't make any sense. As long as anyone finish the 2nd floor they'll be able to access the tower community and would immediately be able to confirm that there is a conspiracy done... more>> by the guilds + government and with the difficulty of floor 3-5 which includes misinformation there's a high chance many will die and then spread the information in the real world.

Literally dog sh*t plot that's impossible to believe unless you also believe the earth is flat. It'd be more believable if they lied about the first 2 floors and try to make more people get to floor 6 to introduce the plot mechanic (which was also never explained how it works, is it magic? Alchemy? A store item? Who knows it just works).

If that's not dumb enough the story tries to build up minor characters and have them sometimes be antagonists/rivals against the protagonist, that would be kinda cool but it's instantly become ret*rded because the items these minor characters get are fraudulent if MC gets 5 items that increase his stats by 25 in total, minor character gets 1 item that increases all his stats each by 20 and the downside is that he looks like a kamen rider. If the MC gets 10 shitty skills with low ranks that he has to use the synthesis skill with ambiguous use limitations and cool down to make it usable (he just synthesize like 6 skills and then suddenly "oops, you've reached a limit you have to wait awhile until you can use it again, how long? Who knows teehee"), the minor character gets 5 incredibly strong skills that boss monsters have that is perfect for their build/personality. The MC wins a plot device ticket that can summon S rank NPC to help him + B rank skill book, minor character wins elixir that increases each of his stats by +20.

It's just so dog sh*t the more I read it, the author clearly does not have the ability to decently write multiple storylines but he tries to anyways and makes everything incoherent and dogshit

1/5 it's alright if you turn your brain off <<less

If this would be an anime it would 100% be a shounen genre one. If you understand it from that standpoint it's actually really good.

It definitely has some comedic undertones. There are reasons for why things happen and they get somewhat explained way later as you go up in the tower.

Main reason is due information restriction. Other than that spoiler is that everybody is trying to survive in the tower,
Spoiler

even the npc's
