The solo mode is confusing for me too ╥﹏╥ How I understood it was that they were challengers once, but gave up their freedom to seek power ; and now they're anchored in the tower and can't go out ? But then does it mean they exist in each solo mode, so if Taehan kills them it won't change the other solo modes ? Or is it the same tower for these characters, it's just the challengers that are ?
And if I remember well the Guide of Sin are just monopolizing ressources to go further in the Tower ; that way they pressure every newcomer to join them (or die). They function on a hierarchy based on the floor you're in : the 20s, 30s, 40s, etc. The higher ups are the most influential and powerful (they're the ones we see talking in the round table in this chapter 109)
Sorry if my response isn't accurate it's been a while I've been reading this
Can someone explain the Guide of Sin to me and how they work? I'm just so confused. They stop ppl from climbing bc why?
I also don't understand how solo mode works. So all these "NPCs" like the ghost, dwarf Smith, the witch that's learning magic, the Guide of Sin captains etc, are also available in the other solo mode player's tower? Bc they have to be since the other two met that one knight that followed the goddess of beauty(?) earlier in the story.
