Webtoon Talk: The World After The Fall volume 1 · Dad Needs To Talk

0:05
What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
0:07
talk, I'm your host, Robert. And today, today, I'm going to
0:11
be answering the call of the tower.
0:13
As we talk about the world after the fall.
0:18
Now the world after the fall, this one.
0:25
Is published by is a press, which is a imprint of Yen press
0:34
that focuses on Korean series. So the one of the farm is a
0:39
Korean manhwa / webtoon. And yeah.
0:44
So first of all, shout out to his, a press /, idle wise for a
0:51
given me access to a digital digital review copy of this
0:54
series. and so, Before for the diamond to the series.
1:01
A while back, I came across it as I was not because y'all know
1:06
those other matter of following me for a while.
1:08
You know, I'm always keeping my eye out, just looking ahead a
1:10
lot. Okay, what's coming up?
1:11
Coming up in the future that I might want to review or talked
1:14
about or whatever. And so I came across this a
1:16
while back, but didn't think too much about it.
1:19
I was like, you know, I was like to cover looks pretty cool but,
1:23
you know, it just didn't speak to me for whatever reason Style,
1:26
No One passed it then the other day, Circle back.
1:29
I was okay. Let me see what else is on the
1:31
right. Coming up soon.
1:32
And this came across my eyes against, I was like, you know
1:34
what, let me just slow down and look into it.
1:38
And one thing that I found out the biggest thing that put it
1:43
back on my radar, is it? I found out that this series
1:46
comes to us from the same Creator as omniscient reader now
1:53
while I haven't read, omniscient reader myself yet.
1:59
I have heard nothing but great things.
2:01
So when I saw that in the kind of like description, I was like,
2:05
oh maybe I need to look more into this series.
2:09
And so I did this is the reason why I'm even recording this.
2:13
So the world after the fall, Is a series that within a couple of
2:22
pages they waste no time. It goes 0 to 100 years out the
2:28
gate because the setup for the story is that one day out of the
2:35
blue, these giant Towers start cropping up in cities all over
2:40
the world and of course everybody's freaking out.
2:44
You just go about your normal day and a giant Tower ominously
2:48
Tower, just pops up out the ground, and people start getting
2:54
a little message prompt in front of them saying, hey, please
2:58
respond to the towers call if you wish to prevent Humanity's
3:02
Annihilation, as. So, like I said, this is all
3:06
within like a couple of pages and so immediately I kind of
3:12
perked up and dove into the series.
3:15
Now, I was reading this at work. Because it was a slow day
3:19
yesterday, whatever. And I was kind of looking
3:23
through, like what I had coming up, whatever.
3:24
And I got the email, saying, hey, here's access to the word
3:28
after the false. I'm not, you know what?
3:29
It's little bit slow. Let me just, you know, check out
3:32
a couple pages and a couple hours later.
3:37
I came out on the other side because this first volume it is
3:44
jam-packed with ten chapters. Under eighty eight pages and
3:51
much like our MC, which I believe his name is pronounced
3:56
J-1. I was.
4:01
Intrigued, I didn't know what to believe for was real.
4:05
What was what what what all happened in the story across
4:09
these ten chapters. But I was nonetheless
4:13
enthralled. Because like I said, you get
4:18
this pumped or whatever and a bunch of people, of course it
4:21
except and they get transported into their respective Towers,
4:25
depending on what area they are around the world and thus these
4:29
people they get presents. It with items and weapons and
4:34
skills and all this stuff and they begin their Ascension
4:39
through the tower thinking that they are on a journey to save
4:42
humanity and they become known as Tower walkers.
4:51
And first of all, when they first get into the tower there
4:56
are these screens that show them what is happening in the real
5:00
world outside of the Tower. And there are these events
5:04
happening called Tower impacts which is basically just like
5:07
these monsters and demons and stuff.
5:09
Just like attacking humanity is just chaos and Devastation and
5:14
thus Seeing that kind of just pushes these people to.
5:18
Okay, hey, we need to send this Tower and try to go on this
5:24
journey to save Humanity while throughout the Tower or
5:30
throughout this journey, which many years past like years, I'll
5:37
talk about one or two. I'm talking about some years
5:39
passed as these people are ascending this Tower.
5:45
And they end up coming across this gemstone that says that.
5:51
Hey, if you want to, you can use the stone to take all of your
5:57
powers and everything that you've acknowledged and stuff
5:59
and go back to the beginning and basically start over because
6:03
it's like, hey, you've reached a point in the tower where it's
6:08
tough you having difficulty progressing, well I guess kind
6:12
of a kind of like a new game plus except for you didn't.
6:15
Game so to speak. And so some people choose to do
6:18
that, not really knowing where they're really going, if this is
6:21
already true or not, but a lot of the characters continues
6:25
forward and that is the basic setup and premise for the world
6:33
after the fall. And yeah, like I said, it just
6:38
immediately because of course, with the with this being a mom
6:42
or a webtoon it is for color. So it looks beautiful, the
6:49
action, the world, the, the just, the Intrigue of, like I
6:54
said, when you have a story that just immediately just starts off
6:58
with just like, hey, towers are popping up.
7:02
Hey, press, yes, or no. If you Save humanity.
7:07
And so yeah, that is basically how things start off with the
7:11
series. Now there are some twists and
7:14
turns that I will get into in a little bit when I get into
7:17
spoilers because I definitely to talk about that.
7:21
But I will say, if you are somebody who likes a series that
7:29
wastes no time getting to the edge, and you just want to know,
7:35
it's like a Adrenaline Rush of like, like Boom surprise.
7:42
All this stuff is happening. What is going on?
7:45
People dying people teleporting saying they're going back to the
7:49
past. It's a lot of stuff going on.
7:52
But there is just this steady thread of intrigue pulling you
7:55
along, then check out the world after the fall.
8:00
Now. We have to dive into a little
8:04
bit of spoilers because so much stuff happened that I had to
8:08
start taking notes about a little bit ways into reading
8:12
this or whatever. And so, like I said, if
8:16
anything, I've said so far and trees you, I encourage you to
8:19
look out for this series on the physical volumes or coming out,
8:24
I believe. I believe middle of November or
8:29
by the time this post is should be out relatively soon.
8:32
So, but just look it up. It should be out relatively soon
8:35
from from the point time, y'all are seeing this or listening to
8:40
this. So go check it out.
8:42
Now, for those of you that either just you just want to
8:46
hear more about it or maybe you've already read it.
8:51
So Midway through we get a huge reveal because some slight
8:56
towards, I guess when he gets close to floor like 98 or
9:03
whatever, he kind of starts to question, some things that is
9:09
happening, that is going on. And one of the Beast that he is
9:15
fighting at the time, is like if only y'all hadn't been, Or by
9:21
the nightmare stones, and of course, he's like nightmare
9:26
Stones. Like, like, like, what is, what
9:28
are you talking about? Like, like the stones I
9:29
mentioned earlier? That I think it's nice.
9:31
I think it's called idea. It's not Resurrection, it's
9:34
something so us with the our Stone.
9:36
But, but basically we find out once he reaches the, the last
9:44
level of the Tower and Beast, like, like the final boss and
9:48
gets like level 100, the final floor. seemingly he Encounters
9:52
this demon named be strain and it gets revealed that the true
9:58
nature of this Tower as called The Nightmare Tower and that The
10:04
okay, the regression Stone, that's what it was called.
10:07
But this Tower was a trap created by another demon called
10:13
The Dream demon and apparently everything in the outside world
10:18
is actually fine because the demon beasts rain is like okay,
10:23
no here. Here's some footage of what's
10:24
going on in the outside world and people are just living their
10:27
normal lives. Everything's cool.
10:31
And so the, the images of stuff that they saw the very Gaining
10:35
was all a lie are. So of course that message that
10:40
message with the MCS mind, he's kind of like, wait, what do you
10:43
mean that? That was all fake and inside of
10:48
the tower? It's been decades like 20 plus
10:52
years, maybe 30, but 20 plus years or so.
10:57
I think has passed and side of the tower 10, 20 years have
11:00
passed and It's revealed the everybody that is basically
11:07
inside of the tower is kind of like a game.
11:10
So everybody that's been trapped in the towers or whatever their
11:14
real bodies are actually and hospitals all around the world
11:17
and the coma. And so while it's been decades
11:22
inside the tower it is only being maybe like a month or a
11:26
couple months in the real world in real time and so yeah.
11:33
And so this Demon beasts. Rain basically he is trying to
11:37
convince Zhao Chuan, to continue.
11:42
Oh, I also I forgot the first thing there was revealed before
11:47
all of that or they ever wants to get to the top floor, is that
11:50
everything that he is experience for seemingly decades was all
11:54
the tutorial for a even bigger game that's going on.
11:59
And so, he's like, man. So all these people that he
12:03
thought his died. And all these years he thinks
12:05
this past this was all a tutorial and he is the only
12:11
person from his world from this world on Earth which they called
12:17
A World 294 that has cleared the tower.
12:23
And so be sure and he's trying to convince him.
12:25
I hey, you've completed the tower.
12:28
If you want to truly get out of here, whatever, now you got to
12:33
play the real game and so jae-hwan was like, nah, I'm not
12:38
gonna do that. And so he spent more time trying
12:44
to train to beat the actual Damon because the den like like
12:48
the level of power disparity between the demon and MC were so
12:54
great that all the monsters and stuff and beasts and stuff that
12:59
he's encountered over these decades trap traversing,
13:03
extending this Tower, it's nothing compared to be strain
13:07
and so he's like no, I'm not going to pay this man game.
13:11
I'm going to beat you, ask so days weeks, however, long ago,
13:17
by whatever, he's training training training, he comes back
13:20
every day, try to take them on. He Has he goes back, trains and
13:24
rinse and repeat. And so during this process he
13:29
starts to like I said, like a little bit earlier when he
13:32
started kind of like just like to second-guess of like
13:35
something here doesn't seem right or whatever he's
13:37
questioning things and that kind of gives him a I guess you kind
13:43
of kind of color like a sense of insight into and to the into the
13:51
tower and And it's true nature and so through him gaining this
13:58
and site, which I got to find out what it was called
14:03
Awakening. So, he basically awakens and
14:06
starts to, like I said, like get a better and a higher
14:09
understanding of what is really happening and things of that
14:15
nature, and that ends up getting him, the ability to beat b
14:24
strain and I stand outside of the tower because basically the
14:33
tower is basically a small part of this greater thing called the
14:42
tree of Illusion. And so all these different
14:45
Towers, all these different little locations everywhere are
14:49
feeding into this, I guess, metaphorically, this kind of
14:53
like tree trunk of an area that connects to this higher greater
14:57
realm or whatever. And so if you Traverse through
15:02
these towers, which are basically kind of like the roots
15:04
of the tree so to speak, then if you can break out of that and
15:09
get into the higher areas, then you can start the actual real.
15:14
Journey towards the great realm. And so yeah.
15:19
So just getting all of these reveals and stuff, whatever was
15:22
just so freaking insane and towards the end of the volume,
15:29
when he kind of know, when he breaks out and then he ends up
15:32
in this area called chaos and he meets these other Travelers and
15:36
stuff whatever he is, so broken and Opie that, you know, and
15:42
also, he doesn't really have like a True, full, understanding
15:46
and grasp of everything that's going on of all his abilities
15:50
and powers and stuff. Whatever.
15:52
Because he also has like this like a like this rare weapon
15:58
that he got from one of the bosses that he can actually feed
16:02
other items that stuff too. It's just Betty how to kind of
16:05
like kind of like a mythical magical store sort of weapon or
16:10
whatever and stuff so but but yeah it all And all it was a
16:16
blast reading. And also, like I said, just
16:20
like, makes me very eager to go back in to check out omniscient
16:24
reader because I'm Mike. If he put in, if this is what I
16:30
get from the world after the fall, I need to see what else.
16:34
These people that worked on this did with omniscient reader
16:38
because like I said, I've heard nothing but great things about
16:40
that. So I'm definitely that that was
16:42
already kind of on my radar of something I wanted to check out
16:46
eventually but after reading this that put that high on my
16:51
priority list as well and stuff. So I say so I'm very excited.
16:58
To check out that and I'm and I'm interested to see like where
17:02
things go from here with the world after the fall because
17:06
like I said, this was a jam-packed first volume that
17:12
covered so freaking much, but it did a great job.
17:15
Like I said, of wasting no time during the setup getting right
17:21
into the situation and then taking us on a journey.
17:28
Through this Tower through the supposed years of these people
17:33
going on an adventure to you know react the reality of our MC
17:39
being shattered and everything that he thought was true for
17:42
supposedly years. And decades was all a lie
17:46
Humanity. I saw the towers is seemingly,
17:48
fine and now he's Hot on a journey to through the greater
17:54
realm to see what else is going on.
17:58
It's get bigger and better understanding but that's going
18:01
to do it for this one. Let's do this.
18:03
A little bit lengthier for review, but because I had a lot
18:06
to talk about with this one and it was well worth the time.
18:09
