Talk:Vol.2 Ch.261: 43F - Hell Train: New Power (2)/@comment-31470550-20170808121124

I'm really pissed that Tower of God's plot has become so cheap and improvisational lately. What's happened to all the cunning spider web plots we all knew and loved?? Now SIU's just not fair with his readers. I hate it when random miracle items are brought in to write the story out of a tangle, like the "Bell of Dawn" or that stupid "Soul-Stirring Ladle" we knew nothing about. And what about situations in the story over which such a fuss was made over before? Like, does anyone remember that deal Yuri made with Maschenny over the Black March?? And don't you wanna know the deal with Khun's sister Maria?

Asimov said it best (about mystery writers, but it could obviously apply to writers of any genre):

"It seemed to me that [writers] could be just as unfair to the readers. They could deliberately hide a necessary clue. They could introduce an additional character from nowhere. They could simply forget about something over which they had been making a great deal of fuss, and mention it no more. They could do ANYTHING."

ToG's pretty much doing all of that (^) right now.

I love(d) Tower of God, and I have huge respect for SIU, but at this point I'm just reading out of loyalty.
