Yo guys!
Sorry to break your hopes a little, but this isn't a new chapter. I know I said in my first notice that I'd be dropping a new one within two weeks… but let's just say I've been a mess when it comes to organizing my time, and right now, I'm swamped.
That said, I won't lie — I do have a bit of free time, and I use it to read fanfics or novels. I've also been writing tons of little fanfic drafts, just to practice or jot down random ideas that pop into my head. When inspiration strikes, I just can't help myself — I gotta write it down.
But don't worry, I'm not about to start a whole new fanfic while my Tower of God one doesn't even have five chapters yet. That'd be chaos. Maybe once the TOG fanfic is more developed — like around 50 chapters — I'll consider a second project.
If that ever happens, what kind of story would you want? Another Tower of God one? One Piece? Solo Leveling? Maybe even Lookism? Fun fact: I actually have a little Lookism fanfic draft lying around… but it's super rough for now. Still, it's one of my favorite manhwas, so don't be surprised if some Lookism references show up in my TOG fic!
To wrap up this first part — I've finally got a clear idea of how I want the plot to go. It won't be perfect, and I can't guarantee everyone will love it, but I can say this: the next chapter should drop sometime next week. Unless something unexpected gets in the way.
As for the first arc: it won't be a complete rewrite of the original, but it won't be a copy-paste either. Some of the canon tests will still be there, but the way the arc concludes… let's just say it'll be unique. No spoilers though!
Now, onto the second and most exciting part of this update:
I was casually scrolling through my TikTok "For You" page when I suddenly saw a Tower of God video (super rare, considering how quiet the fandom is over there)… and guess what?
TOWER OF GOD IS BACK BABYYYY!!
This hiatus was way shorter than the last two we've had over the years, but who cares — this underrated manhwa is finally back to shake the internet!
Now, it's not a new chapter of the main story, but a spin-off focusing on one of the most beloved characters in the series: Urek Mazino. It's dropping on April 29 (so in three days!).
We're finally gonna learn more about him — his origins before entering the Tower, his connection to Phantaminum, his trials and journey inside the Tower… and maybe even his fight against Arie Hon, the strongest of the 10 Great Family Leaders.
With the new art style, if SIU gives us that fight, it could seriously bring massive hype to the series — and honestly, it deserves it.
Who knows? Maybe we'll even get a glimpse of the enigma himself, Phantaminum?
Anyway, I'm hoping SIU cooks with this spin-off and doesn't leave us with a bunch of filler no one cares about.
That's all I wanted to share for now. SIU's return has given me a boost of motivation to get back to writing — pen in hand (or well… fingers on the keyboard?).
Hope you all have an amazing day or night, this was your author signing off. Catch you soon, take care ;)
Last thing, to all the Jinrang detracker fans, he's going to get cooked by Gitae again.
