Let’s Manage the Tower Chapter v126 epilogue Discussion

It is a very similar yet very different story to the manga. Although I do not mind it being more PG13 compared to the manga's PG15-17 it does execute things in a way that leaves no decent payoff.

Thematically speaking, the story is an encapsulation of the MC's journey in the other world yet fails to showcase any highlight as all areas of the story range between average to subpar. It gives the feeling the story lacks any sort of clear vision and the author could not come up with anything else to set it apart within the genre.

• • There is not much adventuring done, though that's implied through the quick capture of the tower.

• • Not much management is done outside experimentation on evolution and tower systems.

• • The romance is lackluster and the character interactions are fairly... simplistic as far as chemistry goes, specially so in the later parts of book 1.

• • Not much is mentioned about the tinkering of the MC and how he creates tools.

• • Bounces between everything yet offers no interesting detail on anything.

Book 1 of the story has a lot of things it can use to showcase an interesting story yet fails to properly execute any of them leaving the ending of book 1 quite... mediocre with no effective payoff. As it stands, the manga is a refined and far better execution of the same story within the scope of book 1 as of the writing of this review where latest chapter coincides with volume 20~.

Overall, it is not that great of a story that ends up not being that enjoyable.

The criticisms mentioned by mddesigner are also valid and do not help the story's case.

The story seems to continue on book 2 but I could barely get through the start of that one after the 26 volumes of the 1st book. The reason is not its lacking execution (even though it should be but years of reading w/lns have softened my standards) but rather the MC himself losing their... MC spotlight and transitioning more to a side character in terms of influence, actions, and behavior. Towards the end of book 1 it was particularly bad. It might seem that book 2 could fix that but I do not have much faith after whatever the hell book 2 volume 1 was and being tired of the previous 26 volumes. Thus my time with this story ends here.
