SAO is basically a damn incest harem first before it becomes an Isekai, Solo Leveling actually focuses on the story and characters. It has more in common with Shield Hero than it does SAO (not saying it's like Shield Hero either).

one of the good things about it is that it doesn't even focus on romance and the mc isn't stupid shit who have a harem. they mostly focus on action and that's what I like about it.

It could be 20 minutes of someone just taking a shit and it'd be better than SAO.

Over powered mc. Check
Level based power system. Check
Every girl the mc meats falls for the mc. Check
Big dungeons. Check
Everyone is not important apart from the mc. Check
There is alot of similarities. But SL Is massively superior. But I don’t think sao is bad. I can’t really think that as it is my first anime.

It's weirdly always had the tag "SAO done right", no idea why because they're nothing alike. Even the stories and setting are completely different.

Sao does have dungeons. All the boss rooms for the floors have a dungeon leading up to them. And i never said romance, just that every girl they meet fall for them or make flattery comments about them.

I have seen lots of people saying Solo Leveling is Sword art online done right. Which isn't a bad thing imo. SAO have a really interesting premises but got ruined very quickly unlike Solo Leveling which maintain its constancy throughout the series.

SAO has levels but they're not dungeons, at least not by the literal meaning of the word. Danmachi has dungeons, SL has dungeons but SAO does not.

What about his sister friend? She definitely had some kind of feeling for him even if they were minor. And when jin woo went in for his sisters guardian teacher meeting. Every gilr was looking at him. And the nurse when jin woo first got out, she straight up asked for his number.

In sao the dungeons are called labyrinths that lead to each floor, wear the boss lies.

that was pretty unnoticeable to even care about, plus it was only one scene not like a girl keeps following him everywhere like other shit harem isekais, and also mainly.
Jin-Woo doesn't give a shit about them all.

because SL is getting an adaptation, and it's from A-1, the same studio that made sao that's the main reason why people compare them.

From the little research I've done, this statement might be true, because it shares some aspects like dungeon/instance crawling and RPG elements, while NOT sharing cringe like THE worst romance I've ever seen, sexual assault and random shit happening for no reason.

There isn't any 'cool' fights at the beginning and it still managed to become one of the most popular manhwa's. When he does become OP, the story gets better.

It became popular because the art was good.
And the secret room they found was a mystery that people wanted to know.
Too bad the mystery was bad and the ending made it seem like everything jin woo and the rest did meant for nothing

Nope. The Web Novel was already popular in South Korea, after the webtoon was released it continued to shot up the popularity rankings and got a lot of critical acclaim. The whole "it's only popular because of its art" is nonsense.

development? didn't u fucking see how Jin woos personality significantly changed? from an ass protagonist to one of the best to exist.
while I do agree other characters are kinda boring but ATLEAST way better than alot of other animes. plus I feel like the characters are the thing SL lacking mostly on.

??? That is not development. That was a generic “weak loser suddenly gains power and is now confident”
That’s the same thing that happened to the Highschool DxD protagonist πŸ’€
If you want real development look at Johnny from steel ball run, or Musashi from vagabond

Again, that wasn’t real development, he didn’t even do anything, it was basically given to him.

Many had been saying that, but if it really is true I hope to see this similarities be better like the game SAO is created inhopes of finding someone who can break the system then recreated the system which will later develop to a world that hopefully create A.I that have artificial soul whose purpose is to become a pilot to Unmanned Military Jets, oh boy SAO got real crazy at last season.
