I believe the main reason people compare it to sao is due to a very popular YouTuber making a video saying that it's literally sao but better. The video is called solo leveling is the sao you wanted with over a million views

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.


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.

Dude, I know it's hard, but maybe you should rewatch SAO.

They're both power fantasy harem with a bland protagonist self-insert, so there are way more similarity than that title.

I didn't say it completely doesn't exist, I said it's almost non-existent as they clearly don't focus on it.

If you learn the meaning of Incest and Harem, SAO is by no means any of them heck its not even Isekai. They are not similar either because SAO is scifi anime with futuristic technology and deals with realistic like problem on the other hand Solo Levelling is all about MC defeating Villain without any struggle. In fact, Solo Levelling is just a normal power fantasy. It will be good for actions. Only SAO haters compares SAO with Solo Levelling because they need a irrelevant and senseless reason to hate on SAO.

SAO doesn't have dungeons and Solo Leveling has very little focus on romance.

SAO have dungeons, the boss hiding deep in the labyrinth is just dungeons, idiot

I am an SAO fan, and I LOVE SOLO LEVELING because after I started reading the manhwa i was like, i fell in love with the art. But now, since the anime is announced and nosy fans started asspulling deep shits about the show, I've never compared SAO with SOLO LEVELING, because the Novels of SAOP are just totally different and SAOP is like on par with the manhwa but i never compared, still you guys are so so so damn annoying, that now I'm starting to Hate on Solo Leveling just because of you people

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR AMAZING WAY OF CONVERTING FANS TO HATERS!

Agree. Solo Leveling is much more better than SAO.

>>Agree. Solo Leveling is much "more better" than SAO.

First you correct your grammar then find mistakes of SAO.

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).

Does that mean Solo Leveling will actually have well-written side characters?

So, I have not read SL, but I am a big fan of SAO and I have followed it for years now and from what I am seeing on this thread it seems like SAO and SL have baseline similarities but are different when looking into the finer details. Also, I do not think it is bad for for SL to be compared to SAO because regardless of what critics the series has been for over a decade now, so I don't think there is any shame in being compared to SAO in my opinion.

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.

Clearly you didn’t read the manwha because of the countless female characters only 2 of them ever wind up to be potential love interests to Sung Jin Woo which in the manwha we never formally get to see them together, and the size of the dungeon has nothing to do with the content of the story.

but they both have dungeon like labyrinths with a boss at the end of the tunnel. And by fall I didn’t mean full on fall in love, but almost every girl in the manwha (at least early on) says some sort of comment about jin woos hotness.
When jin woo first started working out, the nurse literally asked for his phone number, I think that counts as falling for him.
Jin woos sister’s friend clearly has some thing for him, even if it was minor.
When jin woo went to his sisters guardian teachers meeting every girl there was admiring him. Unlike sao it isn’t a major part of the plot, but it is still there.

I can't believe people in the anime community calls sword art a generic power fantasy with a self insert protagonist, then proceeds to call Solo leveling a well written story with a developed cast.

Bruh you have to be like 14 or something…
Go read an actual good story like vagabond and try come back to tell me “jin woo has good development”…

His favourites are enough to explain that he is just a 14 years old wannabe edelord kid

🗿 If the girls like the mc doesn't mean it's harem and in the while series there were only 2 girls who felt that way towards mc and others just thought mc was cool(it was only show in 1 page lol) and finally only 2 girl has feelings towards mc 1 is the s rank hunter and the other is his sister's friend man and it was only for 1 chapter too
And yea go search the meaning of harem lol
Sry if there are any grammar mistakes and I'm not a Sao hater i like both shows 👌

That's just your interpretation.

Ah yes "only 2 girl", I know SL side characters are awful, but even the fan forget about them smh.
