| Jin-Woo is lucky to be alive but he's now recovering and preparing his next move. He also gets a visit from his sister. Looks like this show has its standard RPG tropes incluing daily quests. Some of it feel overwhelming including a quest with a survival timer. yikes. It seems this anime isn't holding back on delivering monsters. We also got more flashbacks but it seems Jin-Woo needs to know the stakes of he's going up against now. One of the so-called 'instance' dungeon' had limits on when it's allowed to exit. Standard RPG stuff he should be aware of. I do hope Jin-Woo learns from all this experience. |
 |
| He was asking for a second chance and he got his second chance… as a PLAYER. Tbh, the first two episodes were like a prologue, as the real Solo leveling starts from here. That same hospital, those expressions, and then Jin Chul paying a visit. That man is someone we’d have to keep an eye on, as he’s here to stay for a long time. Though think how bad it’d feel, when you have just woken up after 3 whole days, someone from the hunter association is here to brief you… to test your rank in hopes that after this tragedy something might have changed, but Jin Woo is STILL E RANK lmaooooo. But now he could see something, which no one beside him can… those stats and those menus and all. I mean he needs to “level-up” right? So, there’s the way, he’d get his daily quests and he’d have to complete them. The grinding has started, and it will just go up and up from here on with those daily quests and sort. Yeah, it feels like a game, to him and to us viewers as well, but yeah that was the point lol. Still first proper dungeon experience while leveling up, and Jin woo is faring well, ig, against those goblins sort of, though the main thing is that wolf! Also, I can again see Cha Hae In and her guildmaster. Please no weird changes in an attempt to fit some original content, please. |

| Jinwoo's wild adventure as a 'reawakened' person begins. Alone, Jinwoo remains in the temple dungeon to save the few surviving comrades. Struck down by a monster wielding the sword of the deity, he should have breathed his last. However, when he comes to, he finds himself waking up in a hospital bed. To his astonishment, his lost limbs from the dungeon are restored, and before Jinwoo's bewildered eyes, a "window" appears, showing an unread message. Later, his sister Jinah and members of the Hunter's Association Surveillance team come to check up on Jinwoo. Man, that last episode was so freaking good that I couldn't resist diving back into the story from where I originally dropped it. And let me tell you, it's been one crazy ride. I've got this solid idea of where the anime might wrap up, especially if I judge by the OP. The addition of anime-original content with Jongin and Haein is just hitting the spot for me – I'm absolutely loving it. But, hey, those Hunter's Association agents should've heard about Jinwoo losing his leg, right? Why aren't they saying anything about it growing back? It's a bit absurd, but hey, I'll roll with it. And seriously, every text in the anime being in English? That's kinda hilarious. This time around, things are a bit more slow, but the trade-off is that we get a closer look at Jinwoo's struggles as the supposed weakest hunter. Also stop with these cliffhangers lol. Still, you can really feel it – he's leveling up, doing it solo. |
 |
| He did got his second chance. Consider lucky to be alive.  |
| Third episode is where it actually starts and progresses quickly. Even though he is at the hospital at the moment with some lost limbs, he's doing alright. He's still rank E though even after the test from the HA. The system is pretty interesting and all the quests he'll do in the future will be fun to see adapted. First off was the desert scene which was pretty good, it seems like the following episodes will be great. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Now that I think about it, the first 2 episodes would've worked much better if they were combined into one. And I didn't realize at all at first, but the bowing scene in the previous episode is the legendary meme lmao. I'm watching the Japanese version, so the MC for me is Mizushino Shun. It's gonna be a bit troublesome remembering 2 sets of names for everyone lol. Especially since I'm really not used to Korean names. Aaaa I'm so glad Mizuki survived too I knew he should've done that workout. 12:18 What is シャガール (shagaaru)? Google refers to Marc Chagall. Gotta check out the English version later. So I guess he will be increasing his stats, thus increasing his rank, and in the end become the strongest hunter in the world. The animation and art were amazing this episode. Best one so far. Okay, this is reeeally good |

| Now the grind begins. Jinwoo miraculously survived that dungeon massacre and gets a second chance at life, and now it's like he's playing an irl video game. As expected he's putting all of his ability points into strength. Despite all of his training and conditioning, he's still getting cold feet being in that dungeon alone. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| So basically it's just a IRL video game. Very interesting! |
| Jin woo sees a screen that nobody else him who see it and well he ignored the first daily quest and that's what happened now he need to fo that to get stronger. He sets all his points in strength. Very good episode. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Lmaoo man they did my boy so bold with the mana level test. Only a 10 is crazy. But honestly with the ability to level up who cares what the world perceives you as Since there’s no traces or remnants of that dungeon, I wonder if it was an instance dungeon like we see Jinwoo go into at the end of the episode. If those exist in other dimensions, other people can’t perceive them so it would explain the lack of evidence His sister was kind of nonchalant about her brother nearly dying in the dungeon and being in hospital lol. Guess everyone has their own way of dealing with stuff. Glad healer girl survived, I thought for sure she had death flags. Instead, she’s just permanently mentally scarred for life 😭. Sweet of her to bring flowers, too bad she didn’t get to see Jinwoo Hopefully we’ll see blonde waifu get some real screen time soon, she’s been teased a few times now but still nothing major. Seems her group is on the move now. I get that Jinwoo wants to make sure he’s not weak anymore, but you don’t want to be a glass canon either. Make sure to put some points into vitality and defense lol. That training routine on a daily basis is going to get him jacked though, for sure. It’s also ironic that the dungeons’ appearance is what’s caused his mom to become ill, but he has to go into the dungeons to afford her life support. Messed up cycle And off to the first dungeon we go.. someone who couldn’t even take down basic monsters before now has to clear one entirely on his own. Cliffhanger ending, can’t wait for next week. As usual, OST was insane today |

| well the grind has begun honestly this is the boring part of solo leveling but after the grind things fire up wonder how long will they make this season probably to jeju island arc since they showed it in the first episode |
 |
| It looks like he got his second chance!! This really is like a game; the daily quests remind me of some games I play. Although that penalty is pretty brutal. I'm looking forward to seeing his growth. |
| Yeah, as expected , the detail of this show make no sense as usual. An individual with body strength of an average person = 10 can run 4 hrs full speed none stop? He is beyond world champion in terms of stamina because even world champion cant run at full speed none stop for 4 hrs. (It's not the same as Marathon because they don't run at full speed, plus mc nvr get any Marathon related training ) Also he's running on a dessert so it takes even more stamina to run. Should have just make the quests 4 mins survival to make the scenario more believable. Plus if mc can avoid multiple deadly monsters like that for four hours, there's no way he'd get injured by Goblin or in E dungeon. He can outrun all of them. |

| > MC doesn't want to exercise = Exercise penalty for 4hrs... 🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| First instance dungeon, next week is going to be awesome. In your face anyone who called this MC a self insert (LMAO), like who would want this life? God I wish I could binge this but it's hard to say no every week. I can't remember where I left off in the manhua either, that was years ago (the writer/artist was on hiatus?). |
 |
| Awesome. I'm liking Jin Woo a lot. He's getting stronger and leveling up. Hyped to see what he does next. I'm beginning to feel addicted to this story. |
Reply to DeRickz
Bro is gonna be so jacked following Saitama's workout daily
| @DeRickz For real, I was thinking the same when I saw all the workout thing. I mean, he did it for three days straight... If he keeps going, he will be bald soon enough, and match Saitama's power, wouldn't be epic? |
| Nice episode.We got to see the aftermath of the Dungeon episode. Sung Jin Woo has woken up and we got glimpses of other survivors and other important characters.We got to see Jinah meeting her brother Jin-woo face to face in this episode and showed how much she cares for and loves her brother. And Jin Woo has gained a system that is like a game. And this system makes him stronger.And now he already entered a dungeon on his own.Waiting for the next episode. |
 |
| Finally, it's here. I thought the series would go off-rails from this episode but I was mistaken. But maybe it's better this way. So, Jinwoo did receive special treatment. But he still needs to work his ass off to utilize it properly. I like it this way where the MC still needs to work for things instead of having them handed to them. It makes for a much more compelling power fantasy. This series has the biggest cliffhangers. Always makes me keep wanting for more. Hopefully the build up will be worth it. |
| jinwoo has a second awakening and is now a player time for some solo leveling up |
| Amazing. I liked the window panel n the glitch effects. It gives the Vibess, now we are just 1episode away to see a totally different MC with new personality and new looks. Kinda excited XD Joohee, u were just few steps away to become the best girl of the show...... and u will regret ur hesitation, u missed a Chad. |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| Funny how they all looked the same 4 years prior... |
 |
| Very good episode, love it. Now he needs to clear the dungeon alone. Aah :D |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Really detailed adaptation with a lot of anime only scenes which result in a much better world building. Previously it was 5 chapters per episode, but this time around it's only two and a half. They'll need to skip something to finish the Igris fight in episode 12. And they changed a lot of stuff, like Kang Taeshik was at the hospital. Did the studio do this as a foreshadowing? I wonder how this change is going to impact episode 8. They skipped the part where the nurse asks why is there sand in the hospital room. That was so funny, don't know why they didn't show it. I saw that lot of people didn't understand why he put all his stats into strength. It's because he's too weak to kill anything. Intelligence and sense is useless this early in the story. Vitality means he dies slower. Agility and dodging increases fatigue. Survival skills won't help him because if he can't deal damage he can't defeat his enemies and he can't level up. It was the right call and people will understand it next episode. |
| Now we know why it's called solo leveling. He is legit playing a gacha game in real life without having to spend any money. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |

| @Marinate1016 This show really is growing into its own thing. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |

| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| It's unfortunate how short each episode is and how it ALWAYS ends on a cliffhanger. Have some mercy ffs |
 |
| He survived 4 hours with that monster!? Lee Joohee having trauma is understandable, hope she'll overcome it. Like how she's always sweet Jinwoo. What's the deal with that friend of Jinwoo sister, she stands out that outfit. Ngl not really a fan of those game screens in anime and fortunately I already know it'll go down a road I'm not a big fan of, but at least for now I'm enjoying it. The anime really catches the atmosphere of the world well so far. |
