Stuck in the Tower Chapter 38 Discussion

I would consider this in the junk food category of tower novels. It does not make a lot of sense and is not perfectly internally consistent, but if you want to see an OP person struggle against OP monsters in a tower climbing genre with skills/stats go ahead.

While not being internally consistent is annoying, it is possible to ignore it if you don't think on it too much. Here a a few fairly non spoiler examples. Entry into the tower itself. This one could in theory be explained later, or the author might forget about it. At the start it is presented as fairly random, though within the tower (you can't contact those outside of it until done as far as I know) most characters are already affiliated with a guild. Maybe there is some special way to enter. For the story to make sense there has to be given lots of people seemed to know they were entering ahead of time/trained for it. Yet at least for the MC it felt really random, and was never explained. Not the end of the world, just odd.

A second example is that the MC discovers all sorts of super hidden things none of the large guilds/government has before. Fair enough. Some of them were hidden, some of them really were not. Something like kill extra mobs unlocking a hidden quest no one has discovered before. It is really hard to believe no one has tried to farm out more mobs as practice or to farm points that are needed in the tower. I could see it being uncommon.

Lastly, the MC's luck seems oddly high. Generally speaking, I can accept a certain degree of luck. Typically one lucky event leads to others (without a need for luck). As far as I can tell, he had insane luck at the start which led to some opportunities. This insane luck resulted in him acquiring one really good skill. That skill resulted in him getting a second good skill (which he does not seem to regularly use unless he needs a power up mid fight even though it is a skill that leads to the creation of new skills, which he probably should have practiced before rolling the dice and hoping for luck mid fight?). Then, with no really good reason as far as I can tell, the tower decided, hey, you have two high ranking skills, here are infinite lives. Have fun. It was a reward for being the first to have two high ranking skills? It really does not make a lot of sense. Also, he does not really seem to use the extra lives mentioned in the novel description. I am sure this will change, but it feels really odd. Having infinite lives in a world where most people have 3 (with 6 being really really good) and that being mostly irrelevant to the story seems odd.

Love this book but chapters are missing from my version. Is that the same for everyone? There is no 64, 68, 69, 73-75. I didn’t notice at first until I looked because it felt like missed something lol. Thank you for a great book! I can’t wait for more.

It looks real...... and it creates more room for imagination.
