It is fun, but it plagarizes the setting to regressor to very poor effect. That work starts with a council of the strongest and last humans debating who to send back in time to fix things. This one puts a council of gods doing the same. Both works have the MC, the newest member who rapidly caught up to the old ones, be chosen. Then various members list out goals and objectives they hope can be accomplished.The plagiarism was blatant to me, and I am sure you can see the same if you compare them. In fact, I saw commentors pointing it out as well.The problem is that the plagiarism does not fit the new setting, and it is the central point for the whole plot. MC goes back in time to save the "tower" from "outsiders", but we are never told why he cares. The perspective we get is Spoiler
the "tower" integrates earth killing the vast majority of earthlings. This is probably because the author further plagiarizes regressor, where a malicious god wants to see all life forms fight it out in an arena so humans are put through tests to cull the weak. However, that work clearly puts God as the antagonist and humanity as the target to be saved. This one puts the "tower" in the position of both the antagonist and damsel in distress. It goes on to not ever mention the whole genocide of Eathlings again and it is only ever talked about as something to be protected.
[collapse]Plagiarism is not specific to this work. The entire genre is filled with works that "take heavy inspiration" from their predecessors. However, it was done to the detriment of the story here, and I believe most Korean novels are for profit (making it more scummy).Aside from the entire premise being a plot hole, it is a fun novel though. If you enjoyed similar works, this one will be right up your alley.
