Plot
In my opinion, Solo Leveling is either hit or miss because, plainly speaking, it is a power fantasy. For me, it was a hit.
The narrative does not try to break the boundaries of already established formulas and plays it rather safe. And it does a great job at that. Never did it hit a level of mediocrity, it was always fun and enjoyable.
Overall it is an easy read with a good flow. The story never gets too weird or derails at any point. From start to finish it has one concept in mind and follows that one idea until it ends, that idea being our main character getting more and more overpowered.
A decent amount of arcs get introduced, with all of them being handled with care and adding to the overall picture. The story might be a bit slow for certain tastes at first but picks up speed quickly. I never got bored reading through the chapters and always felt entertained.

Characters
A strong cast of characters fill the manhwa. They won't shock you or surprise you, but they are solid throughout and perfect for the story the author is telling. We get a good mixture of different traits and motivations, some being more developed than others, but all of them fulfill their given roles.
The main character follows the simple rule of being a total badass all of the time, which might be a bit too much for some, but he also shows a soft and caring side from time to time. Sung Jin-Woo does get a harem, sort of, but thankfully they didn't go overboard with it.

Art
It's stunning. Seriously, the art style is amazing. Beautiful colors and lots of details everywhere, yet still easy to follow and crisp. You can tell that a lot of passion and love went into the art.

Overall Opinion
A great manhwa from start to finish. Even better if you are a fan of fantasy and have a soft spot for overpowered characters. Just for the art alone, it's worth giving it a try and as long as you don't expect some never-before-seen mind-blowing story development, you will have a fun time.
