So i am up to date. to tell you honestly, Solo Leveling is surprisingly boring. Giving 5/10 is enough. I had high expectations since there's a huge hype surrounding this series and people keep on saying it's great etc etc so i tried it out.
I am so disappointed
(1) the story: this is elementary level story.
I remember watching Sailormoon back then, when they have the same scenarios repeated for several episodes lmao. SL is not different tbh. A gate will open, team will enter it, thinking they can handle the monsters, turnout it is stronger than they expected, Jinwoo would appear and save everyone while displaying his OP skills. And the cycle goes on and on. It's pretty tiring. I was waiting for some kind of twist or surprise but to my dismay, the story is pretty mid.
(2)characters: Jinwoo is a boring character. no development whatsoever except his growing powers. yeah, he's OP but that's it. not really fun to watch. well, some people might enjoy him but not for me, i expect for more. and surprisingly,other characters are just like him, dull and boring. the only character that amazed me so far is Jin Ho. the rest are like his shadow army, lifeless.
(3) Art: top-tier is an understatement. the only reason why I was able to finish it is because of the art. The art saved this series. if without it, SL will be a total waste of time.
