Nope, not at all. As of this moment, this manga is the third highest-rated manga being above Fullmetal Alchemist. Contrary to what most fans say, this is an average 'weak mc gets some power only he has and becomes strong' story. Only reason it's this high up is probably because it's newly added and only fans of the manga have bothered rating it while the people who found it to be mediocre don't even realize it has been added to the database. Not trying to hate on the manga or anything tho, just don't want people to expect something special like I did. |

It dropped and will definitely drop again. Now #5, I'm waiting it to be lower than Monster (sorry) and 20th Century Boys as well. |

Someone get salty manhwa they don't like got ranked higher than their favorite manga. Then they decided to make bot to down votes. Time to get popcorn and enjoy the saltiness. Just another day in Myanimelist. |

ayy this got added to the database? Any idea if this is gonna get removed later on or will it stay here? Anyway to answer the question, even though I would rate this 10/10 purely on enjoyment and the badassery, it isn't really the deep emotional series that everyone would seek from a top rated series. There's no complex plot thread or really fantastic characters, nor was the world building or anything like that great.. .. but, it does have really amazing art, and if anyone loves watching a weak, bullied protagonist becomes OP and topple everyone, this is the series for you. Anyone who's in love with dark based power will really like this series too. The art is so on point. There is a reason why this is so popular across the web. |

Probably here to say, also I could see it being enjoyable but as you said there are a lot of weak points that's why I don't see it being this high up. If you're into the genre, I guess you would like it though I haven't watched read too many stories like this so I can't say. |

The reason its so high is obviously due to the fact that all the fans were waiting for it to be accepted, love it unconditionally and rate it a 10 (lol me) It's obviously going to drop as time goes on because more people will see it and read it. Especially the bots, the bots have already seen it and are scoring 1/10 in mass right now lmfao. I definitely think it deserves it's #1 spot in Top Manhwa though, holy shit so much better than any other Manhwa I've ever read. |

Give it few months and it will drop out of top 100. The fanboys are just overreacting because this got "finally" added to MAL. BTDee said: I definitely think it deserves it's #1 spot in Top Manhwa though, holy shit so much better than any other Manhwa I've ever read. Interesting. I don't read much manhwa, but this was certainly the weakest webtoon I've read. I'd suggest reading better manhwa. ToG25thBaam said: ayy this got added to the database? Any idea if this is gonna get removed later on or will it stay here? It got added because it got a physical release, so it won't go anywhere. Worst case, it ends up in a similar position as SQ: Begin W/Your Name! where only one volume of the webcomic got physically published, so the MAL entry reflects only that one volume (which most users seem to ignore anyway, considering the high mean score.) |

It's not just the fact that it's got good art, but the artist knows how to draw in a way that makes it look cool and get you hyped. Here's another example, that casual flex just gets you so hyped. this perspective shot is also insane, it just exude dominance. there's a lot more but yeah that's basically it. Also while I am looking through the manhwa again to get these images, I notice that there's actually a lot of details in the drawing compared to many other manhwa, which is quite impressive. |

The Hikaru no Go guy ^ knows what he's talking about. The manhwa doesn't have a complex plot, but on pure enjoyment I would rate it a 10. It's like if ToG were added on MAL. I would give it a 9 or a 10 as well. It would probably also be pretty inflated at first too (probably low 9s). Do I think it deserves that rating? Maybe not. But on pure enjoyment the rating makes sense. |

But if it is average or not I guess it depends on your tastes. For me at least it is one of the most entertaining and hype series I've ever read, so I think that, at least, you should definitly give it a shot. |

Yup. It’s definitely a very interesting read because of the great art and concept/ worldbuilding. Definitely an 8.5 imo because its writing is pretty repetitive. It’s satisfying to see the MC be underestimated and then shock everyone with his power, but it occurred SO MANY TIMES. The characters are also very poorly developed (even tho the MC is refreshing to watch), but the webtoon isn’t very character-driven so it’s fine. |

x_Articuno_x said: No I mean what is good art to you, because those drawings are amazing, just the art alone conveys so much details about the scene.. like the 3rd spoiler image that I showed you..It just personal opinion, and I don't have knowledge of art in the first panel, we see a thrust motion, a blade went through the armor and pierced someone, and later on we see the full picture, getting a sense of what happened. You can also tell they're in a blizzard the way the coat's being drawn as well as the smokes around the ground area.. and then the protagonist's being engulfed in darkness, showing he's ready for action. Good art is basically arts that can convey something to the readers without going too extensive on the script. Of course, going by simpler term, you can just say it's good or bad depending on how cool you think it is. I am just confused why it's bad drawing to you, since you claim you don't see anything great about these scenes. |

Ive read the web novel which I would rate around 8.6/8.7 as its really good on most sides but a bit jarring with the hamfisted OMG ITS SUNG JIN WOO rhetoric. Ive only seen the character designs and a few scenes I wanted to see drawn but id say top 3 is a bit much for the manhwa but its definitely a great read. |

As a solo leveling fan .. I would love to see it in top .. but if someone were to ask me why it deserves the top place.. I won't be able to convince him because this series is often bashed as something close to fanfiction.. Right now this is the Only Manhwa in the top 50.. just shows how much MANHWA as a whole is underappreciated.. but then , is Solo leveling better than those big names like FMA, berserk, vagabond , one piece , Monster etc.. the answer is no... It doesn't even begin to compare with these great titles... For me, Attack on titan, berserk, Fmab and Monster are some of the greatest stories ever told and I respect their authors for that.BUT.. I never felt like re-reading them ,on the contrary , NOBLESSE and SOLO LEVELING are the only two titles that I've re-read countless times .. the only two series that made it difficult for me to wait for their updates.. why.. well there is no one answer to that .. but I can tell one thing for certain.. deep inside I've always wanted a badass characters as protagonists.. and that's what these two series offer.. After all you are reading and watching to enyoy and get entertainment out of it.. not to become a CRITIC or JUDGE. |

The S ranks, who seemed overpowered at first and were probably the main source of hype, regressed into nothing as the MC became stronger. In fact, the MC didn't even fight them once, which I think is a waste. Dont misunderstand me tho, I really enjoyed the webtoon. |

Imo I'm fine with people giving it an honest rating. I rate animes based on how much I enjoyed watching them rather than on how flawless they were which is why me being an old fan gave Solo Leveling a 10 (which is probably an inaccurate rating) People rating honestly, giving it a 6,7,8 or anything is ok, what's annoying are the toxic people rating this a 1 without even actually reading it just because it's too high in the ranking right now. It'll go down in ranks soon enough there's no need for this bs |
