After reading the chapter properly now, it's kinda strange that the reality warping skill was activated against her wishes, and even transferred to bam, I know he learns abilities quickly but this seems different, I wonder if this is the thorn doing since the panel focused on it, right before she tried to grabbed him and activated the pen skills.

I'm starting to think the pen is a shape and not a item and has a limited skill set, doesn't seem to have a spirit inside since it would just resist the thorns/bam power if that what happened, I would like to see if bam can use that ability on his now or does he needs to be in contact with the pen if it really a item.

Laura doesn't like shilial so it's obvious that lilial was originally a single child, Laura is reminded of the snake by shilial and doesn't think of her as real daughter, and going by how she treats the snake maybe she made the whole thing up she was just giving orders for trau experiment, which was a success with shilial which explains a lot and why her personality is different, I know she is impressed by bam strength but more than that she is giving herself reasons to chase him FH or not, that androssi sneezing at the end the real rival has shown up.

I like the fug girl she seems like real sweet heart and extremely loyal to bam, the other chick is cool too but she can leave and do her own thing if doesn't die soon.

Still don't see why trau would entertain a new game with anyone, unless this whole thing is just show he putting on for zahard or something, from the revelation that Levi was created for bam or Arlene child imo, well in advanced with memories he wants to forget but is ok with bam knowing, seems like he is up to something other than the marriage, doesn't seem that bothered by the intruders at all or bam escaping, he is just chilling like gustang neither will hurt bam friends cause he is too important for the future when he is at their level, I think they want to keep zahard from just going after bam directly or sending the heavy hitters for the smoke, trau definitely doesn't want to protect bam outright since he is supposed to be zahard besties, which seems like bs at this point in their lives.

In Shinn’s t/l - Tiara sounds like a Rev!

Why is her transformation copying Holan’s, just bigger, uglier and more teeth!

Definitely limits/permissions to her ability - looks like she can temporarily copy abilities! Yuri’s rose shower and now Holan’s whatever you call that! Tiara said last chapter that Holan lacks imagination - I’m guessing that was code for interesting powers she can copy. Also does she have some sort of reflection ability? The 2 physical attacks she landed on Yuri were the exact same attacks Yuri was using on her simultaneously( headbutt and knee to the gut)

Also found it interesting when Tiara said her ability manifested on it own when she went to grab Bam! So her ability is not constantly active!

tower of god is like this perfect argument that you make in your mind while taking a shower, but then when it's time to talk, you forgot everything and have to figure it out as you go.

SIU gave us the blog post that makes us believe this was the perfect story, but once he tried to implement all of those things, he failed and gave up.

now we're here trying to work things out the "hard way" to feel like we're smart and now they're simple. Just eat what he throw at you and you'll be good.

When was the last time someone was right about a theory? ha ha ha

Baam first ability was “shinsu imitation”
Now he develop that ability to the point he just have to put his eyes on you…

if we think about it is about time that he had this level of shinsu mimic

Baam is like a empty space whatever he draw on it
It comes to reality Baam is better than tiara pen.
Is like the soul arrow he imagined to save the canines.

i wouldnt mind a 5 chapter leviathan memory flashback, would definitely be a good break.
I would gladly take double. Especially if it means we don't have to see Rak for a while.

Plot twist: giant Rak is in the flashback, fighting Zahard and Rei, and is somehow involved in the creation of Levi.
Rak, being the same exact character he has always been since S1, without development or arcs where he played a central role in for over 570chs, but is absolutely essential to the story to the point where the world needs to bend over backwards in order to keep him relevant, finally doing something interesting in a few chapters of flashback ? I could buy it

Afterall, basically every Irregular "chosen" by the Tower could do what Baam does if equipped with the thorn. While among Tower borns Rak mauls the Adori's of the World. It's time to focus on the real protagonist

What are the possibilities that the tower is just the left leg of Rak real body? @Jubei_Kibagami

Yup. Anyone can set high ambitions and expectations, fulfilling them is the hard part. Specially when you pop new characters left and right while you barely developed the ones you already had in the story. Creating a consistently well written narrative with so many characters is a hard feat.

How many manhwas or mangas have this many characters and a coherent, elaborate, intricate, unique and interesting story for each of them and involving all of them?
One Piece is somewhat coherent and unique, though I wouldn't say much of the other atributes, and even then it's only coherent from having a kind of vague initial world building that was built over the years. SIU on the other hand set some lore and more numerous and specific rules early on that now gives him trouble to manage their coherence, the story tone and the character's popularity with the readers.

What SIU does is set up a constant sense of mistery, since he is constantly adding new characters and only revealing their backstory and the overall story partially. But I don't know about you guys, but particularly when he does give characters most or all of their backstories (elucidating the mystery), I'm hardly ever impressed.

I set up a little bit of expectations towards the main cast and the mainstory's writting quality and uniqueness, but other than that, most of what I see feels like unmemorable side characters that will all be sidelined. I mean, look at the Princesses(and nominees): half of them share some of the same generic personality traits of being agressive, hot headed, argumentative, rebelous, belicious, reckless or similar. Like Yuri, Androssi, Anak, Lilial, Shilial, Tiara... And they're not even side characters...

Shilial on the list too? She clearly has different personality compared to Lilial. She is cool headed and calculative, almost like the opposite of her twin, she is more like Maschenny than Yuri.

Tiara is already down! Serpent Master vs Cobalt seems destined to happen!

Cobalt could be the guardian that Hemus is searching for!

Why Cobalt of all people? It's one of Traumerei's Shinheuhs.
Hemus seems to be around the same age as the twins! Cobalt was originally a poison frog that became a deity (perhaps recently) and it doesn’t seem like Lilial was ever fed those snake stands!

So you are claiming that the snake strands that Laura acquired were given to Cobalt instead of Lilial? If I were Traum, I'll just order Kirin to cut most of the snake strands, that way I'll get more strands which means stronger Cobalt.

The MS belongs to Traumerei he captured him quickly after his birth and kept him for centuries. Stranded Snakes are like wine :XD. He obviously took them to empower Cobalt.

MS gave something to Laura for Lilial's survival but she couldn't possibly eat strands as a baby. Unless it was liquefied or something.

Cobalt was probably empowered before the twins's birth.

SM said some years had passed after Lilial's birth before Laura return and ask SM for the strands. Didn't Merr said Lilial's skill were ordinary when they were at Grizzly Bear nursery? I think Lilial start eating after graduated from that nursery.

I'll reread the chapters later but when Mer was talking about this I didn't get the impression she was referring to Lilial's skills, but her behavior. Now she is haughtier and less approachable.
