Hello TL Community!
I'm glad to see so many other people enjoy the manhwa, Tower of God, as much as I do! I created the ToG thread on TL when I thought it was an extremely promising manhwa that was on the verge of blowing up big. Today I present another manhwa that I've fallen absolutely in love with and shows similar promise.
Black Behemoth

Why it's so good
Just like Tower of God, there is an grandiose background behind the entire manhwa. The author does a fantastic job of creating a whole new world that is immersive and captivates the reader. However, don't be mistaken. This is not another Tower of God. Don't expect a virtuous BAMF main character although there are plenty of kick-ass characters nonetheless. Instead, expect more feels (poor Maxim!) and a less linear story. The suspense doesn't happen at the end of the chapter (like in ToG), but during the entire chapter!
Unfortunately, there is no weekly update. The manhwa is up to Chapter 92 in the Korean version, but the scantalators for Black Behemoth are severely understaffed.

Ambiguous genders: the secret to all successful manhwas!
My Own Personal Thoughts so far:
I love the characters. ALL of them. Even the minor ones. Holy shit. One of the few mangas/manhwas that can get me interested in a character without having to know their entire background. I love the world it takes place in, if it even is a world (spoiler alert). And I love Chapter 16 cause it gave me the feels.

Hopefully, the lone scantalator finds some help soon and they're able to get the English translation up to par with the RAWs (chapter 96 atm)!

They're already short on hands, considering the "ads" they put on their ToG chapters explaining that they're consistently "late" because they don't have enough people. They also regularly mention how they're busy aside from translating/cleaning/typesetting, so I don't see them picking up another work.
