It's below average compared to anything it is trying to mimic. It starts with a solid plot of a man trying to avenge his brother, and going to a world where there is a tower where one must rise through each Tower challenge after finishing a tutorial (Tower of God basically). Then late in the prologue and into the Tower parts the MC, who is a stiff wooden plank (wearing a mask so can't even show facial emotion), kinda wanders without setting clear goals for the reader. A few fights , mostly effortless "OP Protagonist" curbstomps, but otherwise low on action or direction.
But it is
...
somewhat tiring to read the constant info-dumps about random systems, skills and magic. I would estimate 70% of the written dialogue after the prologue is just exposition about endless magic/fetch quest/skill/training systems. A love interest is quickly thrust on the MC but in cliche fashion he is oblivious to her romantic adoration and only talks to her about exposition. Few characters who stay long term.
Finally the art is subpar. Typical mid 2D art for character closeups, backgrounds that are 3D renders. There was an early scene with an underground flooded dungeon that had a background that made me think of Mario 64's castle dungeon area, complete with N64 textures lol
Also he becomes a necromancer in a way exactly the same as Solo Leveling but with more exposition
