I'll start!
It was September 2024. I was watching anime and reading manga like crazy, and I had a pretty long list of anime I wanted to watch. Tower of God was on that list, and it caught my attention.
I didn't fall in love with it right away, but it was really interesting. Way too interesting. I remember watching every episode with so much curiosity, and whenever one ended, I'd be like, "Wait, it's over already? Nooo!"
I simply loved it as a series, so I decided to buy the manga. But when I looked it up online, I was surprised to discover that there wasn't a physical manga. Instead, it was a webtoon you read on a digital platform called WEBTOON. Before that, I'd never read a webtoon in my life.
When I started reading, things were a little confusing because I didn't know how the app worked, and I made a lot of silly mistakes.
Still, I managed to catch up with everything available at the time, up to around Season 3, Chapter 222, in just two months, from early October to late November.
I still remember the night I read the entire Workshop Battle. Best all-nighter I've ever had.
That's when I truly fell in love with Tower of God. I couldn't help it. There was so much story, so much content, so much of EVERYTHING. Beyond the magnificent story itself, I think the sheer size of the series is what made me such a huge fan. There's always something new to think about, explore, and enjoy!
And somewhere around the Hell Train arc, I became a KhunBam/BamKhun shipper. It's the first ship I've ever been this obsessed with. God, they're so perfect together. 😍 And Khun was the one who made me ship them. His obsession with Baam just seems so romantic to me!
After catching up with the manhwa, the era of crazy fics began. I've read too many to count, and they made me fall even more in love with Khun × Baam 🌰❄️.
I also discovered Yole's art. Actually, even though I mentioned the fics first, the very first KhunBam content I saw was Yole's artwork. She's now my favorite artist!
That phase lasted for pretty much all of 2025.
I also discovered Reddit and Twitter. I used both with anonymous accounts at first, and that's where I met some wonderful people.
There was u/Sir_Basson_Sonata. I had no idea someone could adore Hwaryun so much and be a living Tower of God wiki at the same time.
There was a Tomato, whom I always wanted to turn into tomato sauce. Pasta with tomato sauce—yum, yum!
There was u/Yuitheblackx_16, my fellow KhunBam shipper.
And there was u/hereforspoopystuff, the kind girl who organized contests I always participated in. After a long time, she would become my fandom mamá.
If I didn't mention you, please don't be mad at me! Tell me your username, and I'll tell you what I remember about you.
Around July 2025, I started developing an idea for some incredibly detailed analyses, and I'm still working on them. Basson is helping me with the project. If you're interested, feel free to ask me about it! It'll be a long time before the analyses are ready, though.
I've also been using the information I've collected to improve and expand the wiki.
I've always enjoyed Sapphic Week, a themed week celebrating lesbian relationships. I've written several fics just for myself, but they're way too bad to publish.
However, when the tags came out in August 2026, I decided to write something for the event. Here's the series if you'd like to check it out:

As silly as it might sound, I really wanted KhunBam to win Spooky's contest. So I gathered my courage and created a non-anonymous account. I called it Basil to pull a little prank on Tomato, and I posted a fanart collection!
Unfortunately, an automod removed it after about a day because my account was too new.
But creating a proper account had been a dream of mine, so I started interacting with the community, and now here I am, working on this daily-post project and The Strongest Ranker Tournament!
I'm afraid this project will probably run for one week on and one week off, since I'm busy with Flufftober, a writing event where you publish a fic every day based on a different prompt, like going shopping.
I'm also on Discord, and I love chatting in servers! You can find me as kanoi_.
And that's my Tower of God journey so far! ❤️
