Summary:
One ordinary day, the world changed without warning.
Mysterious black towers suddenly appeared across the globe, towering over cities and nations alike. Along with them came monsters, deadly trials, and a system that selected a handful of people—the Awakened—granting them powers to challenge the towers and fight for humanity’s survival.
For most, this was the beginning of a heroic legend.
But for Bong Joohyuk, it should have meant nothing.
Joohyuk is a complete nobody—physically weak, constantly unlucky, and barely scraping by through part-time jobs. He isn’t brave, talented, or ambitious. His biggest concern on any given day is whether he can afford dinner. After another exhausting shift, all he wants is to enjoy a cheap cup of ramen in peace.
Then, everything shatters.
[Bong Joohyuk, you have awakened.]
Confused, terrified, and absolutely unprepared, Joohyuk is dragged into a world where strength determines survival. Unlike the flashy heroes and overpowered elites, Joohyuk possesses no overwhelming combat ability. He is painfully aware of his own weakness—and he has no intention of dying just to look cool.
So he does what he does best.
He thinks.
Instead of relying on brute force, Joohyuk approaches the towers with careful planning, ruthless efficiency, and cowardly—but effective—strategies. He avoids unnecessary fights, exploits loopholes, sets traps, and survives situations that should have killed him ten times over. While others charge ahead and die gloriously, Joohyuk lives—one calculated decision at a time.
What begins as pure self-preservation slowly turns into something more. As Joohyuk climbs the tower using intelligence instead of strength, people begin to notice. His methods may be unorthodox, even shameful—but they work.
And in a world where the dead don’t get second chances, survival itself becomes the greatest achievement.
A Wimp’s Strategy Guide to Conquer the Tower is a refreshing tower-climbing action series that flips the genre on its head. It tells the story of a coward who refuses to be a hero, using strategy, caution, and common sense to conquer a deadly world—proving that sometimes, the smartest way forward is knowing when not to fight.
