Synopsis

Ten years ago, "the Gate" appeared and connected the real world with the realm of magic and monsters. To combat these vile beasts, ordinary people received superhuman powers and became known as "Hunters." Twenty-year-old Sung Jin-Woo is one such Hunter, but he is known as the "World's Weakest," owing to his pathetic power compared to even a measly E-Rank. Still, he hunts monsters tirelessly in low-rank Gates to pay for his mother's medical bills.

However, this miserable lifestyle changes when Jin-Woo—believing himself to be the only one left to die in a mission gone terribly wrong—awakens in a hospital three days later to find a mysterious screen floating in front of him. This "Quest Log" demands that Jin-Woo completes an unrealistic and intense training program, or face an appropriate penalty. Initially reluctant to comply because of the quest's rigor, Jin-Woo soon finds that it may just transform him into one of the world's most fearsome Hunters.

For those who want to know, as of writing this, the anime S2 covers up to and chapter 108 with only a few changes that doesn´t affect the overall story. it´s pretty popular and has an ending so I would be surprised if the rest doesn´t get adapted. The last 20 chapters or so are epilog that sets up for the sequel/ties up lose ends so the main story really ends at chapter 180-190.

Overall is both the art and story pretty good I would definitely recommend, there are some new takes on old ideers mix with some good twists, some more telegraphed than ...

Mixed Feelings
The most action packed manhwa you'll find is Solo Leveling in a nutshell. While it may be extremely entertaining and if that's what you're looking for this manhwa is perfect but aside from that it lacks in every category and is extremely poorly written.

I'll start with the pros, Solo Leveling was one of the first manhwas to do dungeons, necromancer and system this well and it also had good entertaining fights against the many many generic antagonists. The artwork is extremely well done and only adds more to the insane fight scenes.

Now for the cons, first Sung Jin-woo is one of the worst protagonists I've ...

Solo Leveling is a masterclass in how to take an interesting premise and grind it into oblivion with repetitive storytelling and zero character development. The protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo, transforms from a weakling to an unstoppable god with the emotional depth of dry toast. Every fight plays out like clockwork: enemies show up, everyone else gets obliterated, and then—like a bad habit—Jin-Woo shows up at the last second to clean up with minimal effort. It’s not suspenseful, it’s just lazy writing dressed in black smoke and glowing eyes.

The world itself is paper-thin, populated by NPC-like side characters who exist solely to be saved or to worship ...
