[Season 2] Chapter 92
Christmas week has suddenly returned.
I'm spending this Christmas with my work, as expected… it'd be nice if I could spend Christmas with people, huhuhu...
This chapter has very fast story progression, so I put a lot of thought into it. I hope it came out well.
In the case of webtoons that one reads through scrolling, many readers may miss parts if there's too much content in one chapter, so I kindly request that you read parts thoroughly cut by cut, like a book.
As for patrols, the fact that there are many patrols doesn’t mean that they are stronger than high-leveled patrols. Of course, they are difficult to face in some ways, but depending on the terrain and conditions, they can appear in this fashion as well.
Then, please look forward to the next chapter as well, and I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Thank you.

[Season 2] Chapter 93
It's the last afterword of 2013.
Though there were many regrets and mistakes,
being serialized alone on Naver Webtoon for a whole year
made it a worthwhile and thankful year.
I came to learn that I had so much more to improve on,
and when I didn't know, things I couldn’t see,
pondering about the realities of webtoon, comics
Things I need to do from now on....
Perhaps things in life are learned through painful mistakes.
To talk a bit about this chapter,
Laure is a regular who has great ability when it comes to
'knowing and controlling' Shinsoo.
Though of course, because he's sleeping all the time...
he doesn't make too many appearances.
To compare to Viole....
Through his unmatched talent,
Viole uses strong skills and methods to plow through the enemies, whereas
Laure is seasoned veteran who will
manipulate shinsoo as the situation calls for.
In terms of positions, saying that Viole is a fisherman
and Laure is a traditional wave controller would be fitting.
Then, in hopes that you enjoyed this year's serialization,
I hope you end 2013 well.
I pray that everyone will have a happy new year.
Thank you ^^

[Season 2] Chapter 94
Blog
So that was the first chapter of 2014. I hope you’ll enjoy my work this year, as well. ^^
I was actually very busy due to the holidays and to New Year, so I overworked and my wrist condition has drastically worsened. These days, I think it'd be nice for webtoons to take breaks during holidays and the New Year. Although I know that this is almost impossible due to the webtoon system, I think that it could be good for not only the artist, but also for the art.
Well, I'll end my amateur artist rants here hehe and I shall call this chapter a... 5-minutes chapter. Although 1 minute would have been enough to read it, the final scenes were decided right before the deadline. There are times when I don't specify important parts during planning and leave it to later, thus times I left it to the deadline haha...
To be honest, there are many parts I regret even after posting it, and I feel like I could have done better at any other time. Well, what can I do. I have to draw believing that it is the best I can do at the moment.
Next chapter will continue with some battle scenes. It seems that those of you who found the rules confusing will be able to read a Tower of God that smells strongly of a sonyum (Shounen) manhwa.
Then, please look forward to next week, and may many of you be blessed in 2014!
Thank you.

[Season 2] Chapter 95
I'm so late. Sorry for those of you who waited T-T .
To be honest, my condition these days hasn't been optimal, so I'm having difficulties completing my work. I feel sorry because I'm lacking in so many ways. My heart wants to work while in 100% top condition, but it's quite sad that, as a human being, I cannot do that, haha.
The battle scene in this chapter became much shorter than originally planned. The final match still remains, and because Beta was not a plot device that I intended to drag on for long, I wanted to show as much as I could in one chapter, but I personally am not proficient at drawing action scenes and when my wrist starts acting up, I can barely work, so the chapter was too short and there were some areas in which I lacked freedom.
Well, those are all excuses and I'm lacking very much. I'll try my best to fix these things as I progress. ^^
The Hwajeop Gongpasool (Butterfly Flower Pierce Shatter Technique) has a quite beautiful meaning when you translate it. At first, I was thinking of giving it a visual effect of butterfly wings, but I thought that was too beautiful haha, so I changed its appearance.
Next week, the long tournament will finally end. There have been many tiring and tough times, but thanks to those of you cheering me on and reading my work, I feel encouraged. I'll put my all into the work.
Thank you ^^

[Season 2] Chapter 96
I was late again TT TT
It looks like I'm more used to posting at this time now...
To be honest, there were many complications this chapter.
Occasionally, during work, there comes along a chapter that makes me ask,
What did I draw in this chapter again?" and this chapter was like that (...)
For the relationship between Beta and Viole,
I was actually more into Beta's emotions.^^;;
Strangely, I have the tendency to get into the character of the
antagonist rather than of the main character...
This really messes with me during planning;
The main character must win,
but the antagonist has a point!" is what I hear;;;
In truth, Viole is right.
There's nothing Beta can get out of hurting Viole,
and even though Viole appears soft, he is, unexpectedly,
quite the stubborn character, haha
so I think his words would have been quite painful to Beta.
It feels like winter is also nearing its end.
Also, the Workshop Battle will also conclude this part,
and begin a new part.
Some of you seem to have been misled by Reflejo's words at the end,
but the overall story of Tower of God has quite a way to go.
Please stay healthy for this week,
and see you next week, haha.

Happy Lunar Year!
[Season 2] Chapter 98
Afterword (ch97 + 98)
Sorry.
In the end, it took one week to write the afterword.
More than anything, I apologize for making many people worry.
It’s all my fault.
Please don’t worry so much. hehe
Trying to write the afterword after so long sure is tough. kuku
It was only a one-week break!!
It’s been a while since Urek’s backside as well as Androssi have made an appearance.
Many people say that I only draw favorite characters pretty, but
that’s not true. hehe
It’s just that during important moments or for entry scenes, I try a bit more.
It has nothing to do with what characters are more comfortable to draw.
Because of my wrist problems, I haven’t been able to put in as many details.
I wonder if that was the source of such complaints...^^
There have been many asking about my wrist status.
Perhaps delaying the surgery; it’s not that I’m drawing after recovering,
as it’s at the point where recovery without surgery isn’t possible.;;
I also wish it were possible for it to suddenly heal magically. kuku
More than anything, because of my wrist,
I worry about things being cut out from chapters.
Then, I hope you enjoy the next chapter as well,
and thank you for cheering me on.
Thank you very much~!

[Season 2] Chapter 99
Looks strong.
This is the afterward for chapter 99.
I was able to write it in time today, haha.
Actually, many of you have been telling me to take a break to recharge,
and it's something I myself have thought, and continue to think, much about.
A while ago, I also considered a hiatus for similar reasons.
However, the Workshop Battle is coming to an end,
so I'm not planning to take any long breaks.
You could say that the battle scenes are the highlights of this chapter forward.
I actually wanted to dig deeper into Sophia's relationship with the kids,
but since readers seemed to focus less on that topic,
I decided to be less greedy, haha.
If you were to ask me to pick a weapon from the Workshop Battle,
I think I'd pick Bonbon and the White Heavenly Mirror.
Bonbon looks like it'd be very convenient,
and the White Heavenly Mirror... is for later, haha.
Many of you asked me about who the heroine is,
but there's still a long way to go, haha.
It's Rak for now...
Well then, have fun watching the Winter Olympics,
and I hope to see you next week.
Thank you^^

[Season 2] Chapter 100
Part 2 has reached chapter 100.
Thank you.
I never thought I would be able to keep drawing Tower of God for this long,
but all of a sudden, I find myself having drawn it for over three years.
I think having drawn consistently for this long alone is enough to be proud of, haha.
To be honest, I worry a lot about the length of chapters these days.
Mm, I think it’s a problem that appears as a manhwa goes long-term.
It’s difficult.
I’m receiving a lot of questions about Reflejo’s identity,
but there’s a big difference between the abilities of an E-Rank and a B-Rank.
As there is a top 5 in E-Rank, there are also strong individuals in D and C ranks,
and a B-Rank is a Regular who has surpassed such individuals.
More will be revealed about Reflejo’s abilities next chapter,
so please wait one more week ^^.
The Mad Dog’s Blood Tamara
is indeed a fairly overpowered item,
but I think it’s best to see it as an item that goes well with him.
Bonbon’s transportation ability is only limited by distance and weight,
and is quite flexible overall.
The problem is that depending on the enemy Lighthouse’s capabilities,
the destination could be predicted or sealed,
but such Lighthouses are not common among E-Ranks.
Also, if the Lighthouse is destroyed before that… ^^
