[Season 2] Chapter 62
The prodigal Viole has returned.
I considered dragging Anak and Ran's fight on longer...
(It's fundamental for such a fight to take up two or more
chapters in most sonyun manhwa.)
However, as expected, I decided
to stay loyal to the game rather than to the battle.
On top of that, I kinda feel like keep forgetting
the true style of my manhwa...
The technique Ran used in this chapter
can only be used in small and somewhat enclosed
space due to its range and specificity. Of course, if
used by a Ranker with excellent shinsoo management
capabilties, it can summon natural disasters
like hurricanes ^^;; That would require a Contract with the Guardian,
so it seems Ran still has a long way to go haha.
This chapter was somewhat short, but it will be
like this for the next few weeks. After that, I'll be on break~
I'll be returning when I've improved my condition a bit.
Although I've been recommended to get a wrist surgery,
it seems I'll need a few more examinations before
I get the full details ^^; I have a lot of things I need to do
during the break, as well... But as expected, I want to finish
this arc without any long breaks in between.
Also, for those of you who're students,
I hope you get great results on your exams,
and I wish you a good week.
Thank you ^^
[Season 2] Chapter 63
The events of this chapter were actually supposed to be included in the last chapter,
but I wasn’t confident in my ability to handle all that work,
so I divided it into two.
Thanks to that, the plot progression seems to have slowed down.
If this was the past me, I would have been
determined to pull an all-nighter to finish it huhuh.
Although you guys probably feel the same way,
I get frustrated when my body doesn’t listen to me while I’m drawing.
I’ve realized the importance of taking care of my body these days.
I think I’ve gotten better recently after regularly visiting the hospital,
I hope I can return to good shape soon ^^.
Today was Children’s Day, and I hope you guys enjoyed it.
It’s on Sunday, so I actually feel it may have lost its meaning keke.
I hope you had a nice day.
I’m planning to change the neighbour-exclusive
materials on the blog to public view very soon.
As for the slayer candidates profile,
I’ll organize and post them over the break.
Then, please enjoy this week, too.
Please look forward to next week.
Thank you ^^.
PS.
This game (arc) has about 2 chapters left.
[Season 2] Chapter 64
Viole is fighting well alone against many opponents.
Story-wise, it's inevitable, but the plot has been quite frustrating^^
So I reduced the psychological presentation and emphasized the action side.
When drawing scenes like this, the artist works with feelings similar to those of readers,
so the drawing is actually more difficult haha.
The length may seem shorter because there're so many battle scenes,
but the length is actually not that short.
The technique Reina, used by Verdi in this chapter,
comes with a myriad of limits.
Viole only fell to it because Leesoo's team went all-in on this plan.
Also, this item has no effect on regulars above a certain level,
and has no effect on Rankers at all.
(As I mentioned before, Items have level requirements.)
Now there's a bit of this game left,
and the plot progression is about to move on as well,
so please look forward to it, and see you next week!

[Season 2] Chapter 65
I don't know if you’ve noticed, but
the progression of this game was focused on the meeting
of Part 1 and Part 2 characters, as well as their relationships.
On top of that, most of the important plot events are concentrated
in the second half of this arc ^^ starting next chapter,
the mood will shift significantly, as I've already told you.
What I am focusing on the most as I draw the Workshop Battle
is the utilizing of many characters. I have to express
each character's charms as much as possible, instead of just as extra
characters that are just there to make the protagonist look good,
or cliché characters that die at the hands of the boss character.
I want to draw them to be individual characters, each with their
own history. That's why the next goal is to make the readers
think "Fun" and "Get into character" no matter what
character is the main character.
Now, most of the relationships between characters have
been established, and the real fun begins next chapter,
but unfortunately, I have been forced to take a 2-week break.
Although it's difficult for me to exactly say what’s with my
wrist, more than anything it's to the point of greatly affecting
my work, so I had no choice but to make this decision.
Please understand TT TT.
Although I will sadly be taking a 2-week break, I will keep
you updated, and I will organize and post materials
that I couldn't post before, so please don’t be disappointed.
I will appreciated it if you wait a little
longer for the next chapter.
Thank You!
P.S
I also thank Naver Webtoons,
who advised me to take 2-week break.

[Season 2] Chapter 66
I always feel this way after a break, but
2 weeks sure go by fast.
Time flies like when you’re on vacation.
First of all, after getting my wrist checked up in detail,
it seems that it will be difficult to avoid a surgery,
so I think I may have to take a long-term break after this arc.
I hope I'll be able to complete this arc without overdoing it. ^^
Now all that's left to do is to organize the stories introduced
since the beginning of Part 2 and present them to you
in an enjoyable way, but that's not easy to do haha.
Drawing manhwa is hard.
The setting for this chapter was the cool atmosphere of a
swimming pool, but because it revolved so much around
Androssi, it kinda felt like an Androssi swimsuit special...
Mm...
This was actually the first time I drew a bikini.
It's hard.
Guys are easier.
The host duo introduced in the beginning is indeed a Daft Punk
parody. Of course, everything besides the concept is original.
They released a new album and they kinda fit, so I put them in.
They look really evil.
I'm working very hard on the information regarding Slayers,
but I have more work than expected, so it's being delayed.
I'll reveal them as soon as I finish typing them up.
Well then, it's getting hotter and hotter, so beware of heatstroke,
and see you again next week.
Thank you~

[Season 2] Chapter 67
So Rak and Koon finally meet.
Although it's not a huge shift in terms of storyline, it is
indeed a chapter with important changes in the emotions,
so I allowed it some length. Then again, I'm not sure if
I distributed it across the chapter well, haha.
It's very difficult to draw slides with only talking.
Difficult to draw on the entertainment side, too.
Because I tend to fit the story of Tower of God to the
frame of a sonyun manhwa, I sometimes
worry when I draw parts like this, and think things like
"I do want to draw it, but will it be okay?" as well. However,
I actually haven't decided on one genre to draw according
to, so I plan to try everything I want to try the
way I want. Who cares.
P.S
There's a limit on Neighbour Reveals as well
II II
P.S - 1
Although I revealed information about FUG Slayers,
I still left it only revealed to Neighbours. Although there's
a lot of talk about Neighbour Reveals, what I worry about
the most is that readers who don't want to see it may see it
when I reveal it to the public. Because the information on
Neighbours are spoilers to some degree, I think that if readers
came to the blog and accidentally read such information,
it might not be the most pleasant thing.
For this reason, I've left it only revealed to Neighbour request,
but because I only recently learned that Naver blogs have a limit
on the number of Neighbours you can have,
I'm in a difficult situation now.
So I'm not stopping people from taking the information on
Neighbours so that people who want to see the information will be
able to search it up (although it's difficult to completely allow it
due to copyright matters, I'm not stopping you.)
On top of that, the reason, in spite of all this, that I brought
up the idea of making the post public is because I've become
too stressed about this matter. Each day, I received several pages
of hate mails and notes, and bad opinions about the problem
started to arise all over the place.
(Someone even said that I only accept requests from people I was close with)
Of course, it's also my fault that things ended up this way, TT
so I'm not saying that I'm being falsely accused.
In conclusion, I do not want this info to become public.
This is not because I don’t want to show you the information,
but rather to only reveal it to those who want to see it.
I don't want all of my readers to read my manhwa thinking 'based
on the information given on the blog'
As expected, the best way would be to run a separate blog for this
background information, but I really don't have that time π π
I think it'd be best to receive someone's help. I'll try to solve it as soon
as possible, so until then, I'll appreciate it if you found the information
by just using the wiki or searching it up.
P.S -2
It seems the mobile version was uploaded in an uncorrected state
The PC version is correct.
I'll send a message for it to be fixed tomorrow.
I've decided to put it on a separate background section of the fancafe.
For now, I've decided that rather than revealing it
publically, it'd be best to put it into a separate section
because that would be clean and less burdensome for me,
so I've discussed it with the cafe staff and decided to put it in the cafe.
From now on, you can check the revealed information
at the fan cafe.
To the cafe staff who are helping me out in this busy time,
I give my thanks ^^

[Season 2] Chapter 68
One could say that Emile's story starts now.
I lengthened the beginning to focus on the games and battles later.
It might feel a bit long for those who wanted to see the tournament.
It looked really bad when I tried to put in the middle ^^;
But from next week onwards, I will take more time to draw the battles.
Ro made a short appearance,
I tried to make Ro the one opening the door for Androssi at first,
but that made it look a bit too rushed and confusing, so I canceled that for later.
So Emile would look more important ^^;
The truth about Emile will be shown at later parts,
But I will focus on the Regular's relationships at the moment.
Please wait for next week,
And have a good week!
[Season 2] Chapter 69
I heard that it's been 3 years since I released my first chapter.
I'm not the type to place much importance on things like this. ^^
Regardless, to think that I've been releasing a webtoon on a
big internet portal like Naver for 3 years,
it does make me very proud of myself haha.
Both the betting game and the battle is based on the team tournament,
so the individual matches will end a little quickly.
I think the tournament itself will also be a little different from normal tournaments.
^ ^
The weather is hot these days,
and with exams on top of that, you must be quite stressed.
I hope you enjoy the webtoons and get a boost in spirits.
Thanks for congratulating me on my 3rd anniversary.
See you next week.~~

[Season 2] Chapter 70
Hello, I'm a rapid-growth artist
Ah... Yes...
I accidentally drew Wangnan without the Plug again.
It was definitely in the original copy;;;;
I keep messing it up. I'll fix it.
Although Prince is a rapid-growth character,
the other characters develop so fast that he unfortunately doesn't seem to be one...
I actually don't want to make him very strong.
Strong and cool characters are good, but
I also like human characters who break easily,
so I want to draw both kinds in an appealing way.
This chapter was a little long,
and after my hand got bad, my colouring has changed significantly.
The lines are more prominent and colouring is easier,
so I think for the time being, I'll probably keep drawing like this.
As for the names of the Regulars, besides a few characters,
I honestly make them up without meaning.
I don't think you need to put much thought into them haha.
Next chapter, the Mad Dog will make an appearance
and the approximate direction of the tournament will become apparent.
I hope you enjoy it ^^
Thank you~!

[Season 2] Chapter 71
Everyone seems to be here for Baam.
He is popular in many ways.
The problem is, most of them are trying to kill him.
Perhaps the Gongbang tournament will be the first time Viole fights for real.
So far, he fought enemies who were either too strong or too weak, sometimes because of game rules.
(Something about how it is hard for him to write battles as being the main part of the story.)
So far the story is somewhat peaceful(?)
Next week, the popular protagonist will be shown briefly.
