Similar to english colloquial use of "on top of it" e.g."Not only is the movie theatre cramped, on top of that (previous condition), the screen is also small."

Hơn thế nữa/Không chỉ... mà còn
『上に』diễn tả một trạng thái, sự việc nào đó là không chỉ có tính chất/nội dung thế này, mà còn có tính chất/nội dung thế kia nữa. Tính chất/nội dung ở vế trước và vế sau của『上に』phải có cùng chiều hướng sắc thái, hoặc cùng tích cực hoặc cùng tiêu cực. "Hơn thế nữa/Không chỉ... mà còn..."
『その上』mang nghĩa “ngoài ra, thêm vào đó”, được sử dụng như một từ nối để bổ sung ý cho câu trước.

May I suggest maybe another explanation for the grammar point on this page?


"On top of A, B" or "In addition to A, B"


The current explaination on this page is "Not only A, but B as well" which kind of gives me te idea I could do a phrase with it like "Not only Sara lies, but Carl as well". Now this sentence probably cannot be made with 上に and maybe me interpreting the current explanation that way is a resoult of my poor english, I don't know, fact is that I think the two I suggested are easier to understand (for me, and hopefully for others as well :S)
