Tower of God/YMMV

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Baam looks a lot different when you consider the entire story from Rachel's perspective. She rejected him, left him behind, and asked him not to follow her; he swore to follow her for the rest of her life, and entered the tower that can grant any wish asking it to give it to her after she rejected him. The words "creepy stalker" feature prominently in most interpretations along these lines.
• And the Fandom Rejoiced: The announcement of season two as well as the return of Baam at the end of chapter 1.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Several. Though it should be noted that somehow none are more popular then Baam. Most notable are Yeon and Hon Arkraptor, who appeared in Season two and almost immediately became immensely popular despite contributing very little to the plot. Further along the line are Hwa Ryun, Androssi Zahard and Ha Yuri Zahard. One of the oldest fan favourites are still Rak Wraithraiser and Koon Agero Agnis. On the Ranker's side, Lero-Ro and Yu Han Sung are also quite popular.
• Magnificent Bastard: Koon, you suave, sharp-witted, manipulative, scheming son of a tyrant.
  • He managed to hide several allies in his bag and let them out later as to reduce the number of participants in the test without killing and to help his team win the Crown Game, managed to get Rak, who was out to kill him, on his team, tricked Quant into protecting Lahel and improved Baam's chances by making his team losse without endangering his or Anak's chances, made it so that Baam and Lahel could take the Guardian's Exam and manipulated the rest into helping them.
    • On the other hand, he himself sometimes seems to see himself as a Smug Snake, admitting that there's something fundamentally missing from many of his plans -- he has a tendency to lose sight of what he ultimately wants (or to fail to consider what he should ultimately want) while obsessively focusing on the immediate problem in front of him.
• Moe: Miseng, with her backpack, school girl outfit and humble attitude, easily cries and tends to be cheerful. She's pretty much the Loli.
• The Scrappy: Parakewl, the Dirty Coward and Rachel, whom the fandom sees a traitorous bitch that stabs Baam in the back, even though he came all the way for her.
  • Ironically due to his initial Jerkass bahavior Hon Arkraptor was hated by many fans and a lot hoped Baam would one shot him. Fast foward a couple chapters latter and he quickly became the most popular season 2 character because he's funny.
• Teasing Creator/ Trolling Creator: Sometimes, it can certainly feel that way. Whether this is perceived as overall a good or a bad thing varies from reader to reader, as the twists are usually entertaining, at the very least. But, they just keep coming. About the only thing safe to say about SIU's style is: all bets are off the table, unless you know for certain. And, even then, double-check.
• Unfortunate Implications: So Zahard retired, in his stead the are many princesses who received his power, and said princesses are prohibited from dating, mating and marrying. Sure this is about conserving power?
