I read way too much of this, so take my word for it when I say this isn't worth it. You can stop reading this review right there tbh, but I will elaborate anyway. This manhwa has good art, but there are much better alternatives of the same genre with much better quality. The fight scenes are what you read this for, and while they can be hype sometimes most of the time they just feel boring because MC steamrolls them. It has the same gimmick that Solo Leveling has where MC gets progressively stronger over time, but unlike Solo Leveling you don't feel it ... nearly as much and it doesn't feel nearly as earned. It can be turn your brain off fun rarely but my praises end there, it's better to spend your time reading something actually good.

This started off good, however I saw way too many similarities to Solo Leveling and I understand a lot of people say that about most manhwas BUT NO THIS ONE ACTUALLY copied a lot from solo leveling! The Necromancy for starters, by chapter he doesn't even summon the dead aside from like 2 times (maybe 3) so there was absolutely no need for him to be a "Necromancer" he doesn't even really use its abilities aside from sucking the souls from people which could easily be a different skill. He starts off as a F rank if you could even call it F since he ... "didn't have any talent" to now being a S rank (still growing)
second the "red gate" but here they call it "abnormal gate" then the whole "guy seeking revenge because MC killed someone who attacked him first and pulling up to his world" like in solo leveling, where this guy is supposed to be sooo OP and is after the MC.
They even have a "authority" and a "Ruler" enemy like in solo leveling with guess what THE BIG STATUES!!! The MC is a necromancer who uses daggers JUST like Jin Woo...ugh the list goes on, the author straight up wanted to be a second solo leveling but with cringe fan service moments. Then the incident where something happens in Japan and guess who comes to the rescue! I dropped it right after the MC headed that way not to mention the annoying female character that starts begging the MC to not go, all that dialog I skipped only to just drop it the next chapter because it just became a dumb story.
The main reason I started losing interest is the lack of story, MC's emotions (not like Jin Woo but differently) the fan service and not to mention this should have been titled "CLIMBING THE ENDLESS TOWER" because that is literally what this manhwa is about him climbing the tower. No world building, no character building, no friends, annoying girls, stupid moments and villains that lack personality. Just straight up "Crazy eyes with their tongue sticking out"
What happened to him getting revenge for his parents death which he mentions in chapter 1, or showing everyone he is strong? He hasn't even killed monsters that invaded earth aside from 2 dungeons WHICH AGAIN copied Solo leveling INCLUDING his best friend in solo leveling well a little replica in this story with a similar "I'll just carry the stones from the monsters you killed" theme going on. NO ORIGINALITY!

This manhwa is the prime example of unoriginal. which most times in manhwa isn't a bad thing. Like Solo Leveling, it isn't original but it just executes the premises better. All this manhwa has going for it is its art. I had to force myself through boredom to continue reading.
The characters are very typical as well, the story becomes extremely predictable adn you never even fear for the mc because you know he's just going to beat it. If he enters a dungeon that's supposed to be (lets say "F" class) you already know something is gonna go wrong, and that it isn't a normal ... dungeon. The mc barely has any personality and just feels empty, not in a depressed/sad way.
If you are looking for a manhwa with every basic manwha premis combined into one, read this. Otherwise i would never recommend this.
