Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard: “The Preys” (Episodes 19 through 21) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 4, 2020, I started and finished Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard’s fifth story arc: “The Preys”. This arc made me realize how well-crafted these past few arcs were into making Ja Wangnan the perfect foil to Viole—the character who will remind him of the Baam he used to be. Ja Wangnan’s character development throughout The Prince of Zahard made him worthy of being the secondary protagonist.

Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard: “The Untrustworthy Room” (Episodes 11 through 18) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 4, 2020, I started and finished Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard’s fourth story arc: “The Untrustworthy Room”. While the rules to the latest test were kind-of complicated to follow, I did enjoy the message behind the test: Teamwork! The basis of the test is for the other participants—like Ja Wangnan—to conquer rooms and gain allies before Viole could defeat the Ranker and steal Yeon’s room.

Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard: “Bath” (Episodes 9 and 10) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 4, 2020, I started and finished reading Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard’s third story arc: “Bath”. The story arc centered on giving everyone bath and rest before the next test. We’re given more time to know the new characters during this arc and the politics involved with Viole’s status as FUG, a Slayer dedicated to killing Zahard. Associating with Viole would brand the rest of the candidates, which was a similar situation to when everyone discovered Baam was an Irregular during Volume 1.

Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard: “The Strongest Regular” (Episodes 6 through 8) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 4, 2020, I started and finished Tower of God’s Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard’s second story arc: “The Strongest Regular”. Initially, I found investing in new characters kind-of difficult, but knowing Baam—going by Jue Viole Grace—was in the new group helped a lot. This arc was fascinating for introducing us to this new version of Baam, who likely went through a dark phase after Rachel’s betrayal. The subverting of audience’s expectations was strong in this arc.

Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard: “Last Chance” (Episodes 1 through 5) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 4, 2020, I started and finished Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard’s first story arc: “Last Chance”.

My Hero Academia Volume 25: “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” (Chapters 236 through 246) Manga Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On October 9, 2020, I started and finished reading My Hero Academia Volume 25: “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin”. I had such a great time reading this manga book after catching up with Tower of God Webtoon, that I decided to binge-read the rest of My Hero Academia’s latest chapters currently out after this manga book. With 288 chapters total out at time of this review’s publication—meaning I had 42 manga chapters to read—the reading challenge didn’t take too long.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Chapter 205.1 “Special One-Shot” Manga Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On October 4, 2020, The Promised Neverland and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba dropped bonus chapters. The hype was real for these unexpected bonus chapters coming at the start of October, especially with those manga series having concluded earlier this year. For those interested, my manga review for The Promised Neverland’s bonus chapter is here.

The Promised Neverland Chapter 181.1 Manga Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

The Promised Neverland bonus chapter is centered around Ray—prior to the start of the series—and his emotional journey learning and processing the truth about demons eating humans. While we were shown many scenes that were showcased in the manga, this one-shot chapter dove deeper into Ray’s mindset and why he isolated himself from the other kids to read his books.

Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Tiamat – The Journey so Far. Written by Aaron Ngo.

I’m writing this post to give y’all an update on my D&D campaign so far, and how my journey as a Dungeon Master has changed my life—as a professional writer and a person—for the better. This blog post will also highlight the first three seasons of my campaign, and how I fulfill my duties as a Dungeon Master and a storyteller.

Tower of God Volume 1: “Epilogue - Rachel” (Episodes 75 through 78) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 3, 2020, I started and finished reading Tower of God Volume 1’s twelfth story arc: “Epilogue – Rachel”. I have officially finished Volume 1—the first 78 episodes—of Tower of God. My first five days—August 30 to September 3—reading this Webtoon have been an interesting climb up the Tower.

Tower of God Volume 1: “Last Examination” (Episodes 57 through 74) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 2, 2020, I started reading Tower of God Volume 1’s eleventh story arc: “Last Examination” and finished on September 3. I enjoyed the payoffs regarding Anak, Androssi, and Lady Yuri—she finally arrived into the narrative—and their faceoff against Ren. Honestly, I’m more invested in that storyline than the Baam and Rachel drama. Plus, the 13-month series weapons and the lore behind Zahard’s Princesses are so cool.

Tower of God Volume 1: “Submerged Fish” (Episodes 52 through 56) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 2, 2020, I started and finished Tower of God Volume 1’s tenth story arc: “Submerged Fish”. This story arc dealt with the Hide-and-Seek aftermath, and who would end up being qualified for the final test. Khun’s actions—failing his team on purpose to protect Baam and Rachel—were also addressed in this arc, and why he was so invested in their drama.

Tower of God Volume 1: “Hide-and-Seek” (Episodes 35 through 51) Webtoon Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On September 1, 2020, I started and finished Tower of God Volume 1’s ninth story arc: “Hide-and-Seek”. This was a long arc—16 episodes—with good action sequences, more beautifully-drawn and consistent artwork, great emotional moments, and a darker tone that displayed how far the characters were willing to go in order to climb the Tower.
