And so Jinwoo continues his quest to become stronger and stronger... until he feels like it's enough, but I don't think he'll stop getting stronger.
Animation was good and damn that cliffhanger but at the same time i like cliffhangers sksk.

Jinwoo literally solo leveling inside the instance dungeon got me giggling like a Japanese school girl. It was so epic seeing him taking down small goblins and steel fang lycans to a big serpent. His level progression is exponentially growing. I love how he just took down that one D-rank stone golem with one throw of his half broken sword. So badass!

This episode only further solidified my already existing love for Solo Leveling.

Be it the different colored names that indicate the difference in strength between player and monster, the inventory, the drops of weapons/potions, the shop, gold or the stat distribution through level ups. All of these aspects that I am very familiar with and that find their home in MMOs are implemented in anime form in a detailed way, which makes this anime all the more entertaining.

Sung may have put the points he received before purely into strength without thinking, but his physical progress is noticeable. And as is typical in many MMOs, all injuries disappear when you level up. Still, I wonder how this sword ended up in Sung's inventory in the first place. At least he was able to climb up to level 15 at an incredible pace, meaning that many of the monsters that had previously been considered dangerous to him no longer posed any threat. He also could have used the teleport stone he had acquired, but decided against it, which again speaks for his immense mental strength.

The fight against the dungeon boss in the form of the Blue Venom-Fanged Kasaka further tested Sung's aforementioned mental strength. His unyielding desire to gain strength that would open up every possibility for him, his constant progress and the terrible experience from the double dungeon push him further and further. His dialogue coupled with the incomparable OST in the background made this scene magnificent and gave me goosebumps. As a result, his self-confidence is now rising to unknown heights, which will also benefit him in the upcoming fights against even stronger opponents/monsters.

The newly obtained dagger, which has a chance of paralysis and even drains HP, should be a very suitable weapon for now. Even if the potion has a big drawback at the moment, the 20% DR on physical damage will undoubtedly come in handy later.

The ending made me so hyped up. Sung's perception underwent a tremendous evolution. Not only did he immediately sense the boss on the other side of this giant building without much effort, he was also able to determine the ranks of the hunters present. The throw with the broken sword, which instantly broke through the boss's defenses and ultimately led to the Hunter's victory, proved to be the icing on the cake.

I'm so excited to see peoples reaction to the obviously changed Sung. Especially from the Hunter Association, which previously had no interest in him.

Great action sequences! I think EP4 is the first "wow" episode in this season for me. I am looking forward to more impressive stuff like this one. The show has the most generic premise ever but now I kinda understand why so many love it.

So he goes from not being able to beat 1 wolf, to being able to just beat 2, to being able to beat 20, then being able to solo a boss unarmed that is stronger than the boss on the street that a full team with gear couldn't beat.

You know how Force Awakens sucked in part because Rey was a Mary Sue who could beat a Sith Lord trained by Luke Skywalker despite having never used a sword before?

This guy is 100x worse.

Also the fight scenes were pretty terrible.

Oh well, wasn't expecting much but this is well below.

Pretty much this. Also, dude was terrified to fight 1 wolf but decides to CHARGE 20 of them a few moments later??? Makes 0 sense. Facing 20 is plain and simple idiotic. Fighting 2-4 makes sense, but 20??? If a freaking mob is charging you, your only option is to RUN or perhaps find a narrow place where numbers don't matter that much, otherwise you get swarmed from all sides and torn to shreds - as I said, idiotic even from gaming perspective. Such an anticlimactic moment, as if MC became self-aware of plot-armor; and mobs conveniently took turns to attack instead of swarming. He wasn't that strong to begin with but it was stupid and suicidal to rush 20+ mobs; the show however decided to depict all that BS as him being courageous and cool. No, he should have got bodied and died like a moron. 0 brain moment.

Another great episode! The atmosphere, the music, the battle execution... the battle with the snake, ending with Jin Woo standing on the platform after strangling it, and then the dungeon disappearing, was simply a gorgeous transition! The whole fight really felt epic! Can't wait to see more!

He's becoming OP waaay too fast. Good for him. Pretty cool fight scene with the snake! He's becoming confident which I'm sure helps him become stronger. Impressed that he was able to pick up the sword tho lol

I rarely try to spread negativity, but by god this episode finally broke the camels straw. Decided to give this show one more episode to convince me, but I am done with this. I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with a storyline being obvious and following a treaden path; all stories do that, and there is nothing new under the sun, really; but this show really does a poor job of making me like the main character, and it goes out of its way to insult my intellect with the way the MC finished the bossfight. If someone remembers that Arifureta-show, that aired a few years back: That show was hated because it had low pruduction value. But this show is exactly the same, only that people spend more money on frames and sound effects. And somehow it is over an average of 8? Well, I am just happy that I am done with this, those who enjoy this show for whatever reason, I hope you continue to do so.

Well damn Jinwoo didn’t get his cheeks completely penetrated. He somehow had some other dude’s sword and used that to persevere through that dungeon all by his lonesome. I’m guessing since he’s the only Player in this world he won’t be able to bring others along with him on these Instance Dungeons and other stuff that he comes across.

Right now though he’s made a crucial step in becoming a better Hunter. He basically dealt with two bosses alone. Had he not cracked the armor of the Rock Golem thing, those adventures would have been CLAPPED.

Now how can Jinwoo get the money he needs to help out his mom? I’m looking forward to how this progresses.

Amazing episode, i love seeing Jinwoo get stronger and grow.

The dungeon he went through was also very interesting, i liked the Steel Fanged Wolf enemies he fought and how he overcame a whole hord of them and leveled up a bunch. The leveling sysytem is something i wanna learn more about, i love how he is focusing on strength but his other abilities level up from him leveling up.

The snake boss was also very cool i liked how the sword couldnt penetrate the armor but since Jinwoo has grown so strong his onw hands could. It was a very nice fight to watch.

The fight with the golem was also cool the stance Jinwoo did before he threw that sword was great, and the power behind that sword was immense.

Keep growing stronger Jinwoo its already paying off.

The jumps are smooth, it's the fruit of hard training. The terror, awakening, strength can be felt. The fight was interesting and the animations are pretty neat.
Jin woo became strong, I feel as if he wen through second awakening while fighting the serpent but still not enough... need to get stronger. Just one throw and the defense got weak😮. Plot is not lagging and to the mark.

The battle against the blue giant snake was epic but Jin Woo was so cold when he threw the broken sword at the golem to one shot it. And leaving the scene like that.
