[Season 2] Chapter 102 Afterword (101 & 102)
My blog management is a mess.
Sorry TT TT
I feel like I'm always writing not-so-good news
or depressing stories on my blog,
so I've decided to just say "I'll try better next time~" on those days ^^;;
This chapter was split into two parts,
with different content in each.
I suppose that could have made it difficult to understand.
To be honest, when I was drawing Cassano's part,
I found it difficult because he wasn't someone the protagonist had to save or defeat,
but instead entered and left this story arc with completely different thoughts and goals...
He was a different character compared to the realm of sonyim (shounen) manhwa.
It's a plot device needed for later, but I still wish it were more natural...
Or perhaps I should have been more extreme... I have these regrets.
Emile's power will reappear with an important role later on.
There are about 3~4 chapters remaining in the Workshop Battle.
There's not much left, so I'll try my best, haha.
The winner of the final match,
and the fate of the Rankers observing them will both be decided soon.
Then, please look forward to it,
and thank you for reading this week^^
ps/ Congratulations to those of you who have started a new school year.
I also paid a visit to school today, and freshmen were everywhere, keke.
The age difference has become so great that it's even awkward to buy them lunch, keke.

[Season 2] Chapter 103
For the first time in a while, I write the Afterwords on the day the chapter is released.
These days, the story is progressing at a somewhat slow tempo,
but it's hard to suddenly shift gears,
so I decided to just keep that speed until this arc ends.
And I also had some health issues.
This is almost over, so I don't think it'll matter too much;;
I said a while ago that I'd want the White Heavenly Mirror and Bonbon,
and I think this chapter would've helped you see why, haha.
The WHM was designed to be given to Koon from the start.
The other two abilities will be revealed later on,
so I hope you stay interested in those, as well.
I believe some of you may think that the travel range of Bonbon is too wide,
but due to the increasing Shinsoo pressure on higher floors, this range will be reduced accordingly.
On top of that, it can not be used effectively if there is a good Light Bearer or Wave Controller on the enemy's side.
(Ron Mei's Lighthouse was already broken here.)
I have a medical checkup this week,
so I'm not sure if there'll be a chapter next week.
If there's a break, I'll let everyone know ahead of time...
On last week's afterword, I congratulated you on starting school, showed up at my old school to meet freshmen and got an amazing response from everyone.
Sorry, I think I've been away from school for too long, keke.
Then, please enjoy the upcoming week.
I hope it's a good one.
Thank you~!

[Season 2] Chapter 104
I apologize for inevitably taking a break.
It was recommended by the doctor, and the week was set aside more for rest than for treatment,
and to be honest, my heart felt extremely heavy while I wasn't working.
The reason the hiatus alert got up there later than expected
was because I still hadn't decided whether to draw a chapter or not by then.
I apologize once again.
I think there are about 3 chapters left for the Workshop Battle.
Part 2 won't completely end here, though,
since there are quite a few Arcs left after the Workshop Battle. ^^
To tell you about the Thorn, I want to say that
its full function has not been utilized yet,
and its versatility depends greatly on the user.
I’m honestly not a fan of main characters with deus ex machina roles,
and there is almost no chance for such events to occur in the Tower of God universe,
so I plan to leave the Thorn as a 'growing weapon' as well.
Of course its power will explode when it needs to explode. ^^
It is undeniable that the Thorn does possess fairly overpowered capabilities.
The fight between Mad Dog and Androssi has not quite ended.
The current goal is to rescue and escape (& date),
so in terms of the story, battle scenes such as intense clashes feel slightly awkward.
Of course showing such a side is the virtue of a sonyun (shounen) manhwa haha.
I think it's a difficult issue in many ways.
Then, please look forward to next week,
and I hope you enjoy much of your day in the spring weather.
Thank you. ^^

[Season 2] Chapter 105
You were surprised by the suddenly-blooming cherry blossoms, right?
I was too, haha.
The weather suddenly got better, so going outside would be ideal.
As the characters of Part 2 meet those of Part 1,
there's a little confusion over Viole (Baam)'s name and what to call him,
but I will try to sort that out afterwards.
If not, then... whatever...
I personally tend to think that if the character Ho from Part 1
had more power and had grown,
he could have become a character like Reflejo.
From here on, rather than focusing on personal grudge or envy,
I plan to frequently deal with the relationships between those with power and authority,
so I guess... Reflejo is a sort of last boss in this department ('2)... haha.
With regards to the Princesses of Zahard,
a Princess who is a direct descendent of one of the 10 House Heads
is especially influential and powerful.
As you can probably tell with Androssi at the moment,
being a Princess of Zahard is an incredible position,
and if a Princess is from one of the 10 Families,
she will become the central power of that Family in the future,
so this is even more incredible.
You could say that among Princesses, Androssi is on a fairly warm and human (?) level.
As for Princesses from the 10 Families, they have clear hierarchical relationships
and don't even treat Regulars as human beings if they're not from the 10 Families.
Of course, they're also just that rare, and there is only one single Princess
who is a direct lineal descendant of one of the 10 House Heads.
Even if we count just the number of Princesses from one of the 10 Families,
there are about 3 of them.
Much information about the Princesses will be revealed next arc,
so I will say the rest then.
Then, please enjoy this new warm weather to your heart's content,
and have a nice week.
Thank you. ^^

[Season 2] Chapter 106
This is the afterword for Chapter 106.
It's been a while since I had a sweet scene in this manhwa.
I don't know how it was, but anyway... haha.
This chapter was around 90 cuts long,
and that would not have been considered very long a while back,
but it was harder than expected. I'm concerned about my wrist and all.
I was greedy, and I wanted to increase the length a bit.
As I go on with the story,
sometimes the content may seem to conflict with
the details on settings that have been written already.
For example, the Workshop actually has a security system
that is difficult for outsiders to infiltrate.
This time, there was a spy (?) in the Workshop, which made that possible.
Usually, even a Ranker like Hachuling would not find it so easy to hack.
The word 'teacher' in the chapter refers to the higher-ups of the Workshop.
I guess you could say that the Hosts are their students.
Normally, at least one great teacher is commissioned to the Workshop Battle.
The teacher didn't get tricked or anything; it's more like they didn't come on purpose.
As for the fight between Ro and the enemy Ranker,
this is a lower Floor, so the shinsoo resistance is small,
and the fight is much freer than it would be on a higher Floor.
To comment further on Reflejo,
I'll say that unlike the villains of the past,
Reflejo is a case where his personal grudge has led to
an obsession with an ideology.
Although what Reflejo did was harmful to Viole,
from Reflejo's perspective, it was a good deed for the Tower,
so that is why he was able to do such things.
You might say that it was an act for the greater good,
but it may also be ironic that it started with his personal grudge.
I think parts like these will need more thought and care as I go on,
since FUG is a bunch that will continue to be important, and all ^^
Anyway, thank you for reading this chapter,
and hope you enjoy this week.
As for my plans after the Workshop, I will let you know
as soon as I decide.
Although there is the hiatus,
I think there might also be some interesting news for you soon.
Thank you!

[Season 2] Chapter 107
I was planning to post the afterword a little earlier,
but I couldn't because the Internet suddenly stopped working. TT TT
So the Workshop Battle is finally over.
It's an arc that I could tell a lot about,
but in terms of story, the important bit is coming up,
so I'll have the discussion after I wrap up the remaining materials.
I was actually going to leave the full reunion of Baam and friends
to the arc after the Workshop Battle arc.
For a couple of reasons, I ended up compressing that into this arc,
and a few problems arose due to that.
In conclusion, the pace of the story has sped up,
and there are pros and cons to that. ^^
The line "Welcome, everyone!" near the end of the chapter
was one that I was seriously unsure about including.
No, I really wanted to take it out.
It's too generic and felt out of place,
but I couldn't think of anything else that I could put in there.
On top of that, it's hard to forget a line that you've shoved in there once,
so it's easy to think that it's the right one;;
The part where you see Rak, Koon and Baam sleeping side by side
is one that was decided on from the moment that
I decided that they should meet at the Workshop Battle.
This includes the Suspendiship and the background,
but the result did change over time.
Unlike the Floor of the Test, the Workshop Battle had quite a normal ending,
so there were parts where I actually had to be more careful.
However, I strangely wanted to end the Workshop Battle that way. Not sure why. ^^;;
Next arc, we will be returning to the main plotline.
Now that one of the 10 House Heads has finally shown his face,
I think we will gradually climb to the higher Floors, and include the appearances of
D-Rank Regulars and important figures, little by little.
Of course, we will have to tell the story of the true Prince of Zahard, haha.
Then, please enjoy this week as well,
and I hope to meet you next week.
Thank you

[Season 2] Chapter 108
As I posted a manhwa during a time when the entire nation is praying ,
I felt that I had to be careful.
Although brief, I once walked the path of an educator,
and I can't ignore it, because many young students are reading my manhwa,
and that's really painful to bear.
This chapter included, the epilogue chapters will literally be wrapping up the story.
These include the direction proposed for the upcoming stories,
and team compositions.
Of course, new enemies will appear one by one,
but I feel that from now on, new characters will not appear all at once,
unlike the Workshop Battle.
Additions are additions, but several characters will tend to be left behind.
from now on, other members of the 10 Families or
Princesses of Zahard, who have not been expanded on extensively,
will make appearances,
now that we're getting to higher Floors and all. ^^
Next chapter will be about Ha Jinsung and Karaka,
and a date (?) may be possible, haha.
I think the plot will head in that direction.
A rather important story is waiting,
so I hope you enjoy it.
Please stay healthy this week,
and see you next week~~

[Season 2] Chapter 109
The weather's a bit chilly these days.
I bought a few T-shirts because they said the summer weather was coming.
What is this...
This chapter was a bit long.
I worked extra hard, but I'm still disappointed in a few things... haha...
I wanted to put more work into the direction and... um...
To be honest, the date is not the main thing in this chapter.
Instead I wanted to portray Baam, who came into the
Tower alone and without proper human relationships,
taking another step on his path to establishing these relationships.
In that process, Androssi was not supposed to lose her characteristic charms,
so it was difficult and I had to be careful.
More importantly, I was pressured to fit it all into one chapter ^^;;
Baam is a popular character in many ways,
so it looks like he'll be popular in the next arc, regardless of who he meets.
This will be hard for Androssi.
Of course, Baam is popular in the 'bad way' too.
This will be hard for Koon.
On top of that, Rachel is gradually surfacing...
Once every while, there are some readers who ask about my health.
After completing this Epilogue, I will take a break.
I don't think the hiatus will be longer than expected,
but the possibility of a long-term break is also there.
I will let you know for sure next week.
When the break begins, I plan to put up gossip-like posts
on the blog again.
If there are things the readers want,
then I would appreciate it if you’d let me know. ^^
Then, please enjoy this week as well,
and it's chilly, so watch out for the cold.
Thank you ^^~

[Season 2] Chapter 110
Blog
Finally, the long long Workshop Battle and Epilogue are over.
I had actually planned to continue for a bit longer,
but due to several circumstances including my wrist’s condition,
I decided to cut it short slightly sooner.
That’s why the cuts got all elaborate and the content and
chapter lengths increased at the end. ^^,
The stories that were not finished in this Epilogue will probably
be included in the beginning of the next arc as a recollection.
Of course, I’ll have to get started on the work to know the exact details.
