Solo Leveling

somesh 

Synopsis

Ten years ago, “the Gate” appeared and connected the real world with the realm of magic and monsters. To combat these vile beasts, ordinary people received superhuman powers and became known as “Hunters.” Twenty-year-old Sung Jin-Woo is one such Hunter, but he is known as the “World’s Weakest,” owing to his pathetic power compared to even a measly E-Rank. Still, he hunts monsters tirelessly in low-rank Gates to pay for his mother’s medical bills.

However, this miserable lifestyle changes when Jin-Woo—believing himself to be the only one left to die in a mission gone terribly wrong—awakens in a hospital three days later to find a mysterious screen floating in front of him. This “Quest Log” demands that Jin-Woo completes an unrealistic and intense training program, or face an appropriate penalty. Initially reluctant to comply because of the quest’s rigor, Jin-Woo soon finds that it may just transform him into one of the world’s most fearsome Hunters.

Reviews

  1. Solo leveling is a super fun read, where the MC is pretty much op but it never ceases to be entertaining. The story flows well and is a straightup an upgrade from the LN. Combined with the godly artist every page is just a feast for the eyes. This manhua is an example of op done right.Story : 9.5
    somewhat generic isekai power fantasy but that doesn’t really affect the story.Starts off slow but quickly turns into a ride you can’t get off. World building is done well in both the LN and manhua.

    Art: 10
    Most likely one of the best looking manhua/manga I’ve read besides berserk, being a manhua the colors just give that extra kick to make this an eyegasm

    Characters: 10
    MC goes from 0 to 100 real quick, many scenes where I just think damn, thats a fucking badass mf if I’ve ever seen one.

    Enjoyment:10
    I really can’t get enough of these new chapters, one of the few things I look foward to during the week.

    Overall: 10
    In general a fucking good read                            Reviewer’s Rating: 10

  2. This is average, no more, no less.Story (5/10)
    It’s a simple story and executed in a very average manner. A classic zero to hero and not much more to say about it. There are some plotholes especially in the world building but none of them are really that damaging on thier own though.Art (7/10)
    The art is good, having it colored makes it way more lively and for the action scenes, which after al are one of the strong points of the manhwa, it does work well. But it’s no more than that, good, do not expect beautiful art pieces you can simply sit there and admire. The art is streamlined for action, made to be scrolled through quickly.

    Characters (4/10)
    The characters are shallow, to feel empathy towards them is hard, borderline impossible in my opinion. They don’t feel like people, rather they are spotlights pointed at our MC to amplify his awesomeness.

    Enjoyment (4/10)
    It didn’t really make me wish to continue reading except on some particular panels in the begining. For me geting to chapter 42 was a grind.

    Well then, would I recomend this to anybody? If they are unable to accept black and white action scenes yes, otherwise no. The art really does, in my opinion, shoot this manhwa into the stratosphere when it really just wanted to go on the trampoline. I understand some people might’ve longed for colored action scenes for years but I don’t believe this manhwa is the one truly magnificent manhwa that deserves to be praised as the long awaited messiah. Wait a little longer and we might find something truly worth remembering.
