Idk what to post saying Abt me planning beating ToHH without skips

I’ve recently beaten ToAE, and my choice for next extreme fell on ToPB. I was surprised with all the hate to this tower. Some people even begged me to not grind this tower bc it’s like too bad, too long etc. Despite this I’ve actually made some runs on ToPB and I can say it’s not bad. I’ve actually enjoyed playing this, and it’s barely holds 20+ minute mark. It has a lot of button progress and you can get literally the safety net on f6. I don’t know why this tower has THAT hate from community and I wanna know what other towers are overhated/overrated than it actually should be.

The best tower i have ever beaten ❤️❤️

Yaaaaayyyy🥹🥹

ToCA is the most punishing tower in the game, so I thought everyone would choose ToIG. I have no experience with these two towers, and I guess my journey through the most punishing insane towers continues

Uhhhhhhh... Well, its my 2nd insane, and ill compare it to my beaten 1st insane - ToBT (bc why not).

This tower presents new mechanic - Honey blocks, and while touching them you will stick to them and fall very slowly. This tower was taken from original parcour in Minecraft, where honey blocks are being used. This tower you can split in two parts, as gameplay totally changes on second half. The first half, which are f1-6, is quite forgiving and has lots of nets. Once reaching f6, you basically are on f7, as its fully netted (unless you fail random stupid unclimbable 12 stud jump). I find this half of tower harder than second half, and the hardest floor is probably f5. It has VERY easy outsides, so u will probably reach second half (after some loopfailing ofc) on every run. PLEASE NOTE, that this tower has A LOT of random dif spikes and stupidly long jumps, in which you will probably loopfail. But you will get consistent really fast. The second half, which are f7-f10, the gameplay totally changes. These are the most punishing floors in entire etoh, so u can guess every fail leads to death. But these floors are from mid to peak rem, so they are easier than the first half (in my opinion). But you must understand that there are still dif spikes and annoying jumps in this half, so if you want to grind this you must be ready To strugle. There is a speedrun section with rising instakills in f10, which most players consider as final stretch. These instakill section is VERY lenient and like intense difficulty, but pressure and nerves can make it much harder. I cant say for sure what tower is more punishing: ToBT or ToUH, as both are punishing at their ways, but bc ToUH is netted at first half ill say ToBT is more punishing.

What about button progress? I got really upset when i found out the only button progress in the whole tower is a ledge grap on f2. Even ToBT has more button progress than ToUH. Every other button is a timer. This tower i find really boring at grinding. I dont wanna say it bad, its just boring. You only lock in on the f7, before that you just loopfail. The other reason for my boreness is music. Its so quiet and the choise was awful. The only music that i liked from this tower is on FS. I think music in tower is a really important part. Ive grinded a lot of towers just because of music. Without good music for me its really boring to play tower. ToBT has much better music than ToUH. What about enjoyment? If not taking the music and just gameplay, its really interesting to play when you have just started to grind ToUH, but i think creator could have built more obstacles with honey blocks, which could have made the tower more fun. I really dont like when gameplay changes from mid easy to peak impossible. And ofc easy sections are netted, while hard ones arent. Second half is much more creative than first one, but even here after super easy gameplay comes really hard jumps and wraps. I really dont know is this tower co based or purist.
If you wanna grind this, please practise all floors. Practise not only second half, but first half to prevent loopfailing. This tower can be hard to sightread so practise this tower. If you are consistent with first half, try to make practice runs from f7 to winpad. Practise especially f9 and f10, as they are the hardest floors on real run. This tower is really short, but not shorter than ToBT, so in perfect runs it will take around 10 minutes.
Here are my ratings:
Design: 6/10
Creativity: 7/10
Gameplay: 5/10
Enjoyment: 4/10 (as second sc, can be much lower as first sc)
