Don't know how the webtoon is but this anime is simply bad

The story is just the good old climb the tower and get a reward, may sound a bit cliche but given proper execution and it would work wonderfully. Sadly that's not the case with this one. The pacing is just awful. Specifically, they don't explain much about the power system or the roles other than just naming them out, nothing more nothing less, and this is supposed to be a prologue. Then there are these games that do build proper suspense, only to be crapped on by retarded solutions and of course that "All ... according to plan" line everytime.

The art is lazy as hell. Somehow a lot like to defend by saying "Just look at the webtoon artstyle and shut up" which actually made me laugh more than the comedy in this show, but more on that later. The animation is just lackluster across the entire show. The fight scenes while nowhere near the worst, definitely are among the most boring and hilariously lazy, with slow frame rates, stupid camera work, near zero choreography and looneytune-ish violence with how they treat the moves and the characters.

The sound design just adds to the boredom of the fights by having almost equal level of looneytune-ish. The OST is probably the best thing about this show, but then is by far Kevin Penkins weakest contribution. And the director sure does a good job of wasting them by arguably the worst timings in modern anime. The voice acting starts off rather strong at first but just decline in quality at a rapid pace towards the end

The characters are actually pretty interesting, only to be murdered by bad execution. There is this one intense scene between two characters involving the typical revenge plot that then turns into a slapstick comedy with no transition or reasoning other then the director feel like it, no joke. Or towards the end, characters just forcefully turn into friends with vague reasonings, some even lack completely. And the biggest problem is the protagonist who is just boring and annoying, precisely because how badly they portrait his innocence, good heart and determination.

The only actual enjoyment out of this show is some of the entertaining dialogues and a few funny gags, but the majority of them are just slapsticks or stereotypical sarcasm and have awful timing. But then for me, this is among those "so bad that it's good" type of shows so I still got through all of it.

Overall, try episode one and you will know whether you will enjoy it or not, since it is without a doubt the lowest point in the series. For me, as an anime-only, this show is merely 4/10, maybe even lower once I read the source material.
