These posts are by no means officiaLly Translated and are fan translatedThis is one of aniwiza special posts and hence you will view the next of siu blog posts at aniwiza specialsThis took a lot of time so please do not mind the small popups Overall I hope you enjoy these secrets about the tog universe
This Afterword is a bit long, so I’ve numbered the points.
The E-Rank Workshop Battle is over, but another
Workshop Battle could be included in the story.
Once the characters have climbed up quite a bit and the
relationships between them have been established,
it might appear about one more time, with special items on the line. ^^
The reason Quant and Hwa Ryun gave different explanations of the Hell Express
will be explained in the next arc. It is not a miscalculation,
but rather different ways of saying almost the same thing.
For an easy telling of the story, the rate at which the current
Regulars are climbing the Tower
is slightly higher than in the original setting.
In terms of storyline, I must consider the events after their Regulars days,
so I would appreciated it if you kept this in mind as you continue reading.
I can’t completely break the setting either,
so there could be a long timeskip in the later parts of the story.
In this Workshop Battle and its Epilogue,
the Part 2 characters have less screen time than usual,
but the Part 2 characters (like Yeon and Prince) will continue to stay with Baam
in the next arc, so I don’t think there’ll be anything to worry about from here.
I think we’ll be seeing frequent bickering within the team.
However, it looks like it’ll be difficult to see much of Goseng and Horyang from here on
The next arc, as many of you are expecting,
will be the Hell Express arc.
The games will take place both inside and outside the express train,
and although the scale is smaller than the Workshop Battle,
the travel distance and map is long,
and I think it’ll be faster and have more action and game-like qualities.
One very powerful enemy will also appear.
I’m also considering a match between the Mad Dog and Viole later on
I’ve also prepared a Zahard Princess arc.
However, I think it might run a little later than expected.
The reason Beta said Cassano could be stronger than Viole
is because Viole still has room for growth.
Cassano has an almost-complete power
They say that it’s not possible for me to chat in the café.
I’ll find a different way, haha.
If I remember anything later, I’ll add it ^^
Regarding my wrist condition, a major hospital
recommended that I recover without surgery, so I decided to do that.
I’ve heard that it can get better if I equip an orthosis for a while.
Of course, it’s a matter that can only be decided after some rest,
but I think that other than being slightly uncomfortable, it turned out great.
Thanks to that, the hiatus has been greatly shortened.
During the running of the series, I’ve declined all paid offers
such a subcontracts and advertisements due to my wrist.
I’ve held on, thinking that I should take responsibility for this arc no matter what,
and although it was tough, I personally felt prouder than ever.
I got seriously depressed around the middle,
but it’s all good and I’m very happy now that it’s over.
Indeed, we must keep our bodies strong.
After I get healthy, I shall return with more fun story,
as a complete artist who works hard and makes money.
It’ll be a long time, but I’d appreciate it if you thought
of it as investment for a better work,
and wait for me.
Thank you. ^^
Ps. if you’re wondering about something please leave a comment.
I’ll pick a few and answer them during the Hiatus.

[Season 2] Chapter 111
I wrote a pretty long afterword...
Mm... It's been a while, so I wrote a fairly emotional afterword.
Sorry. This shouldn't have happened.
I think I responded in a very sensitive manner to some of the readers' stories.
I'm sorry.
I finally returned after some time. When I posted that I’d be gone for 6 weeks or more,
I was very worried about when I'd actually get back. In the end, I returned later than
expected... but earlier than what I was worried about. I was prepared for over half a year at most...
I still think that it must have been a very long time for you.
I'm sorry for coming back so late.
To be honest, my wrist hasn’t fully healed.
What I felt during the treatment was that the pain caused by ligament damage or fatigue
accumulation is almost impossible to heal completely. I was warned that if I begin drawing
again, I might experience early arthritis or shoulder pain, so I returned a little late.
The warning of the Almighty Doctor is still effective,
so I might need another break when I'm afraid of overdoing it. ^^
Back to talking about the work.
For now, the next few chapters will be peaceful.
It's been a while, so I felt the need to control the pace...
I'll most likely get the engine started next chapter and move into a new arc after 2 weeks. ^^
I'm looking forward to it.
Actually, Chapter 2 of the prologue was quite uneventful, so in a way, I have decided to lean
away from big impacts and continue more slowly, since I've just returned.
This was a somewhat difficult a decision for me to make.
This afterword has gotten too long.
I guess it's because it's been a while ^^;;
I'm nervous about several things... for now, I'm planning to set aside my greed and to slowly
build up from the beginning again.
I'm planning to show a more solid storyline and various battle methods, so I think it'll
provide diverse forms of entertainment, because above everything,
a definite 'enemy' will make an appearance.
Then, please look forward to the next chapter, and I've really wanted to say this:
I hope to see you next week. ^^
(I think one more article about a Slayer will be posted during this week or the next.)
[Season 2] Chapter 112
To be honest, my hand hasn't gotten used to it yet,
so it takes a long time to draw.
I'm also not accustomed to Baam's new look after the haircut,
so it might take a few chapters to do it naturally, haha.
I actually had a lot of complaints about my artwork as I drew this chapter.
I will try to improve over time.
Various storylines did get started,
but I thought quite a bit about whether the prologue should be 3 chapters or 2.
I eventually decided to finish in 2 chapters and quickly get started.
Due to that, various complex emotions were shown and there were many lines spoken.
Actually, Chapter 2 of the prologue progressed quite uneventfully,
so in a way I have decided to lean away from big impact and start more slowly,
since I've just returned.
This was a bit difficult of a decision to make for me.
Next week, the main story begins.
This arc will contain a lot of new things.
If the Workshop Battle was a 'slight' extension of the conflict structure from Part I,
this arc will contain a lot of new material in terms of the relationship structure between Regulars and the story.
I think it could make it more fun to read, keke.
Anyway, please look forward to next week...!
Then I hope to see you next week.
Thank you!
P.s.
The Slayer material will be released this week ㅠㅠ,
I was too busy out of my mind last week.
Sorry.
[Season 2] Chapter 113
This is a bit late, but here’s the blog post.
It’s been long time since Yuri last showed up.
Lots of you people wanted to see her.
Yuri is actually supposed to be the main focus for much later on, in the Princess arc.
So only glimpse of her have been shown, and hints about her provided,
without revealing much information.
However, along wih Maschenny, the two princesses will show up much more later.
I was unsure about how to cut this chapter.
The story mood needed to be freshened up,
so I went for Yuri and Repellista.
However, it’s feel empty if it were too long, and unappealing if it were too short.
So after much consideration, I cut off some parts at the end.
Instead of putting in too much at once, I decided to to focus on one thing at a time.
So Yuri now definitely knows that Baam is alive.
Baam and Yuri’s relationship will have important part in this Webtoon.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for different story beginning next week.
Thank you. ^^
[PS: Cafe management stuff]
[Season 2] Chapter 114
I had to go on hiatus last week due to some personal problems.
I can’t say it in detail, but it was something bad and difficult.
The work was actually basically all done, but I needed to put in the finishing touches.
The management team suggested taking a week off, so I did.
Sorry for making all of you worried. I will try my best so it won’t happen again.
Now the Hell Train arc will begin.
I had many worries about when to cut it off,
but I ended up cutting it off and decided to start properly next week.
Next week I will have some real story going on, along with some battle action.
I’ll need some time to adjust to starting a new arc too.
I will try hard starting from next week. ^^
Thank you!

[Season 2] Chapter 117
It's been a while, this is SIU. ^^
Many of you seemed worried that I hadn't been posting things on my blog.
Nothing serious is going on, but I've been quite busy. ㅠㅠ
First of all, I moved.
Much of my surroundings have changed.
I needed some time to get accustomed to my changed body and new situation,
and above all else, I think I wasn't very emotionally stable.
(GoDai: I don't think this is to suggest that he's been emotionally unstable;
the word "안정" just happens to mean "stable, calm, relieved, at rest")
At times like this, it is difficult to work 100%,
and working at all can be a bad thing.
I think I underestimated it too much.
It was quite harder than expected, haha.
Anyway, I think it's a part of becoming an adult.
Regardless of where this is leading,
I'm in a rather comfortable state right now.
It was actually very tiring because it was my first chuseok holiday since becoming independent, though.
Even this week, I was often behind and had to pull all-nighters
Starting next chapter, the central plot of this arc will slowly unravel itself.
Should I say that it's the beginning of the story...
I think I'll be able to actually work with a clear head now.
Then please enjoy the next chapter,
and starting next week, I'll be writing afterwords like before. ^^
Thank you!
[Season 2] Chapter 118
Until today, preparations were made for the main story.
I feel that since it's a new story,
the preparations may have been a bit long.
I was actually considering diving right into it today,
but I thought that it might be awkward without the material covered today,
so I ended up doing it this way.
Since it's the main story starting next week,
I think that the story will reveal and be more focused.
The Hell Express is a long arc,
so I have no plans to rush it.
I'm planning to steadily increase the emphasis on battle scenes as well,
and as I foreshadow various things,
I think it will be fun for you to spot them.
Thank you for coming in today,
and see you next week ^^
[Season 2] Chapter 119
Hello, its SIU.
I've been to Ghoungzhou and back again safely.
I was gone for 4 days but since I live in suburban/rural area,
the time spent travelling is closer to 5 days.
It was fascinating to see that people knew me in China,
and since I was going as a cultural representative of Webtoons in general,
I was pretty nervous.
In any case, we successfully concluded the signing event and think that it was a meaningful time overall.
I think that going abroad,
regardless of whether its a temporary hiatus or not,
requires a period of getting re-adjusted.
Almost like you've gone and visited an entirely different world and back.
Due to this, I've tried to squeeze in some drawing while I was in China.
Problems arose when my laptop started malfunctioning
(maybe due to the long distance travelled)
and I had to stay up at night trying to fix it.
As a result, I barely got to do any sight seeing in China.
I have no regrets, however, as the purpose of the trip itself was important.
Sometimes I wonder what I would be like if there was no Tower of God the Webtoon.
I think to myself, "Maybe I would be nothing"
All of a sudden this comic has become this huge presence in my life.
Same goes to you readers as well.
You have my thanks for always cheering me on.
I will return next week with an even greater episode.
Have a nice day! ^^
[Season 2] Chapter 120
Hello, it is SIU.
This post is a bit late. Sorry. TT
I had some personal problem last week, and next week is military practice!
Being an adult is hard.
Forced to be totally focused in working now.
These days I am getting a bit distracted.
And new characters and events seem to require long pace for introduction.
But now most of it is settled, so I can use action and story next week.
Tournament is main in Train City but considering later stories I hesitate going straight in.
Next chapter will have Ran's action.
I like him because he is small.
Also he seems strong.
Discounting some wrist problem, seems my schedule seems to be settling down.
