There is no standard set. Fans are being excited that they are getting their webcomic produced as an anime when it was thought it would never get one. They are basing their values from the webcomic and projecting it towards the anime. The show has not set a standard since it has just begun. I don't know if it'll be good or bad as the show progresses. This first episode is not a blockbuster. But when people hype any series, the first episode traditionally isn't where any of their hype comes from. It has to do with the series as a whole. when i see people hyping up a show, i excpect it to be at least somewhat good, this wasn't the case. the first episode is supposed to get you hooked and it didn't have that effect for me, so i'll be sitting through this dumpster fire to see how bad it gets |

Each episode has it's own plot, and it's rare for it to have an arc that spans multiple episodes. |

Clubby said: I dislike this show for multiple reasons: - The overly simple plotline. Sure, sometimes a simple plotline works. But when it's attached to a comic that has so much hype, it doesn't work. - The characters. This MC looks to be my most hated of this season, if not this year. He gets thrown into an unfamiliar environment, doesn't have his bearings, and somehow manages to move on to the next test in around 15 or so minutes, and once at the second test, survives just barely because he kept on getting lucky. That's not MC material. Either you make him weak or overpowered, but not lucky. It's just some boy unexpectedly being sent to do tests he doesn't know about. There's many questions to be said about this scenario that I think don't make this a simple plotline. The MC qualified the first test through his instincts. He's surviving the 2nd test because he is being lucky. There is no standard for him to be overpowered or weak. He doesn't have to be weak nor overpowered to be qualified as the main character. From what I'm seeing, he seems to be lucky and weak. Power level shouldn't define characters anyways. |
Stop talking about the webtoon and other series. You're messing with people's expectations and borderline spoiling this show. |

You all need to watch Nami. |
| Know what the problem is? the webtoon is not that good, its not bad, but its nothing amazing, people hyping it up just because it is korean are just stupid....The studio didnt do anything bad with the adaptation soo far, but this is not ufotable...Only they can turn a regular and honestly, boring manga into a good anime(demon slayer). |

Your first message here on MAL is mere bait. If you have something worthwhile to say, you shouldn't make a substanceless, one-off statement attempting to throw all credibility of a series. |

The first episode of this series is neither too bad/good in my opinion. pratiksingh1594 said: Chickened said: Stop talking about the webtoon and other series.

If you're not going in-depth about the anime then there's no point in my opinion. Just carelessly talking about bits of this show's webtoon and comparing it with other Japanese cartoons/manga debases expectations like mine. |
Gal3riel said: I wish solo leveling was animated rather than this but its ok, i think that the TOG gets better but i still find it rather boring i forced myself to chapter 200 and i still think it is avreage. But well i cant like everything. This is decent, slightly above average i would say, but solo leveling? that is just op protagonist wish fullfilment basic garbage....We alredy have your every isekai garbage in every season to do that. |

Beleth01 said: FriskySquid said: Literally everything in the first 5 minutes was telling me not to watch it, so I dropped it. It was boring, slow, cliche, edgy in the intro for no reason so I even skipped the intro and this was all in the first 5 minutes of the show. I'll let other people waste their time with it, and once they review it - if they give it praise then I might pick it back up. Such an idiot. Great job... Didn't even finish the episode and shitting before even opening pants.. There is nothing wrong with dropping a show in the first few minutes of the first episode. Some people can tell that early if it's their cup of tea or not. Rather than risking to waste time on something you think you might not like, it's better to just drop, and then pick it up again later if something make you reconsider it. Pretty reasonable logic if you ask me. |

| its interesting, i find the animation a bit weird sometimes but for the most part its decent. nothing too good and not bad either, it was an ok first ep |
| I'm fine with an anime being "hated" on, but guys, only the first episode has come out. You havent even given the show a real chance and it is definitely not as bad as people are making it out to be. To be honest most people are only complaining about this show because its "overrated" or "popular", but dont actually criticise the anime itself. They just want an excuse to show off that they have better taste than "mainstream" anime, which is pathetic. |
| Because the MAL community is trash. |
Miaya said: Because the MAL community is trash. the MAL community is trash, but to a certain degree. Alot of people who went into this with an open mind and having not read the source material found it to be lackluster and mediocre, myself included. Liking the source material obviously means that you'll hype up an adaptation of the series, but going into it from an outsider's perspective, it doesn't live up to the insane amounts of hype this got leading up to it's release. |

Donnefen said: because it's shonen trash. not that the animation is bad or anything. but the webtoon is just over hyped shonen trash. It's not shounen. Shounen is demographics of manga and manga publishing magazines. This is webtoon - korean webcomic published on Naver's site. Demographics are not a genre. |

| Okay, so I just finished ep 1. I see the what's going on with the negativity now. I didn't read the manga, so from an anime perspective only, the anime didn't appeal much to me if I were compare it to series like Btooom, Darwin's Game, Gantz, etcs. Needless to say, this is just an average anime neither good or bad that somehow ranked 3rd with the most member watching on MAL this season. It's not trash. It's just so-so okay. The sheer amount of attention it get make it vulnerable to criticism. That...you can blame the webtoon reader for drawing those attention. I hope they release a korean dub ver for this series. The chinese dub for series like King's Avatar and Tales of Demon & God was enjoyable. |

| I haven't said or rated anything on it yet, because I'd rather not judge from one episode alone. However, my take from ep. 1 was that it was no better than an off-brand magi anime. I think if you like this type of show, you'll really like it. But if you dont have the taste for it pre-set, and you judge it as harshly as other anime, it's really not all that good or entertaining. But hey, we're only one ep. in and thats just my experience. If you're seeing a ton of negativity in the community, its probably due to the usual hype effect. |

| The first episode was truly OK. First episodes of super popular anime such as Naruto (or even Bleach) are rarely incredible, people should just wait for the story to develop since the genre is shounen-ish. Very few anime manage to have a memorable (dramatic in medias res) first episode (Death Note, Code Geass or 3-gatsu no Lion are a few examples of the contrary), nothing really surprising there... The art was unusual but I heard that it will improve so no problems so far. There were no real fights, so let's hope that the animation will be fine from this respect but it's probably too soon to call it bad (mediocre in the ancient meaning at worst, i.e. average). The camera angles if I may say have nothing outside of the ordinary, but if they are true to the source material, there's nothing to argue there too. Plot-wise, let's say that the LN type unexplained names is simply annoying (Princess of "something too long I can't remember", 3-gatsu no buki, etc). Otherwise, yes, it resembles to a lot of battle royal type of shows, but the universe is known to be vast and complex (from what I read from people manga readers) therefore it is also too soon to judge it generic. |
| Don't know about "negativity" but criticism is not a bad thing, personally I liked the art style, overall the show looks interesting. But this episode is still worthy of criticism, it had awful pacing, felt like it was taken from the middle of the series, not a good pilot episode if you ask me, not to mention the plot armor for the protagonist at the end of the episode and the bullshit about him getting helped twice just because he's "cute". I feel like the fans are overreacting (like in every other fandom to be honest), I mean calm down people it's no big deal, no matter how great you think this show is it can still be criticized, and stop bringing up the source material, no one cares. |
| People can critisize whatever they want and be negative about it. There are people who hated the shows i loved. Even from the first episode. I didnt go around crying about it lol. |

| I haven't read the webtoon or watched the first episode yet so I can't say much but I'm not a big fan of the art and the story seems boring to me. But that's just me |
