Through that experience he drastically changes in personality and is able to experience much more action than previously before, at the bottom of the barrel. You may be annoyed with the MC and many supporting characters in the beginning but that quickly changes as the character begins to go through a change no one in this fantasy world has experienced before. When Iįirst started reading this story definitely pissed me off to the point that I was like "Does this even get better." Of course, like many stories, it starts out slow. The story is filled with plots that make sense, flowing with extremely well written character development, assisted by very good character interactions. I assure you that that opinion is completely wrong.Ībsolutely solid, it flows extremely well and is probably one of the best adaptions of a LN into a Manhwa I've ever seen. You may be skeptical about reading it, perhaps you think it will end up trash like many generic RPG/MMO style anime/manga. This isn't your typical "MC becomes crazy OP" story where the OP MC becomes absolutely boring af. This part really cemented Solo Leveling as nothing more than bad power fantasy with good art. The arc can be summed up as presentation of the the strongest characters the Hunter Association has to offer only for all of them to be beaten easily so the protagonist can waltz in and save the day effortlessly like the Gary Stu he is, takes a souvenir corpse to summon another overpowered servant and that's the arc done. Not only the story of the arc is a porr man's cheap knock-off of Chimera Ant arc from HxH, the writing is terrible. With it, all the weak aspects of Solo Leveling are even more obvious. Update: Since the 1st season of the webcomic is now finished, I'd like to comment on its last arc. Overall, Solo Leveling is a fine read, but certainly nothing revolutionary. On the other hand, it's not that's much different from most of webtoons of similar genres.

It's full colored, atmospheric, and the action is well drawn. The best part of Solo Leveling is undoubtly art. Most of the time the manhwa is fine, but from time to time the edginess spikes out of nowhere, probably in an attempt to make the comic more interesting, but the result is exactly opposite.

I'm not that fond of using the "edgy" buzzword in a review, but in this case it fits as the description perfectly. It is thanks to a bunch of random item drops that conjuret the potion of plotforwarding, sure, but that's still better than nothing. And this substory about ill mother? You would would expect that to get attention right after the protagonist gets strong and loaded, right? Nah, it doesn't get mentioned until much later when the author remembers that they made this substory in attempt to make the MC more likeable.Įdit: With the new chapters, the story does actually go back to the "mother is ill" part of the plot. The MC himself went from likeable underdog that works hard despite being the weakest to help his ill mother to not really giving a heck and having no problem straight out murdering someone. But at the current point of the story, the threath is there no more. You were worried about the protagonist as there was no telling whether he'll make it out arive. Which is why the first few chapters were the best. In fact, there is just no thrill anymore. All the arcs after the first one go like this: MC enters a dungeon, something "unsusual" and "unexpected" happens, the expected difficulty increases, everything looks dire and unbeatable, MC starts doing stuff, the threat turns to be irrelevant as MC triumps over it relatively easily. The greatest weakness is the repetitiveness. It's still a fun read, don't get me wrong, but it's hardly something I would call great. The story is fine, more or less what you would expect from the genre, not great, not terrible. I guess him being shown as strong all the time would hinder self-insertion. This "underdog" is now stronger than almost everyone else, yet still has tendency to try to hide his abilities, for no apparent reason. (Also the starting quest is ripped straight out of One Punch Man). Yes, he technically has to do quest to earn progress, but just the ability to do quests itself is unique to the world and is given to the protagonist with Protagonist is weak, encounters trouble and is handed down some op abilities out of nowhere. Solo Leveling is pretty much your typical "zero to hero" story, despite what fans might claim. Note that this review contains slight spoilers. Does it live up to expectations? Not really, no. Now that it started being released physically too, it's finally added to MALs database. Ah yes, the highly praised webtoon, Solo Leveling.
