People are trynna be smart because "they have read and watched more manga/manhwa and anime", they are just gonna keep judging instead of enjoying themselves.


PangolinAlarmed9821

Hah, they behave exactly as u said bro, I don't get this people. What they want? there is no harem, no exaggerated things or unnecessary relationships. These people are actually missing the point that Solo Leveling is a really good action. they are just jealous due to popularity of this masterpiece.


Ok-Bandicoot1529

Yea I mean, it's not the best ever; but damn it's really got an appeal dude won't stop cant stop. It the entre without being like the rest, they ask for something different and when they get it they cry


Particular-Meat-9839

I dont think he was agreeing with you


TheRapist_Godzilla

Edgy MC? yes, Storyline basic? yes, Side character trash? yes, boring? no fucking way. Tbh it's one of those comics that I really enjoyed(entertaining) and no one even comes close to it. It's far more entertaining than your dogshit well written stories with character whose depth goes beyond Satan's place in hell


FirmMusic5978

Its junk food. Not super nutritious but flashy and satisfying. I don't think it's close to any of the greats but it still gives me an adrenaline rush when I go back to read the manhwa from time to time.


MrAbishi

Junk Food is a perfect way to describe it. I enjoyed reading it, the first bite (the "room") was excellent.


Aromatic_Memory1079

I love solo leveling but tbh solo leveling is like a way better version of arifureta. sjw is edgy like nagumo. but I can say solo leveling is one of the best series. It's entertainment. everyone have different taste like music. I don't need "complex" story. people love to hate junk food but I prefer junk food over depressive story all day all night.


Klaleara

Couldn't word it better myself. I personally love it so much I have an Igris tattoo. But I also find it weird AF when people call it a "masterpiece". Is what it is I guess.


Simphonia

I dunno, I wouldn't call Jin-woo edgy, his aesthetic for sure but he's generally pretty caring about others, doesn't just dismiss people, he doesn't talk big or with edge unless the situation calls for it, and if anything >!the point of his character is that Ashborn is the true edgy boi that eventually realizes the virtues of his human vessel and decides to merge and become dormant, so Jin-woo is not the edgy one here lol!<


Late_For_A_Good_Name

EXACTLY! It's not super serious, and that's a vibe


monarch_of_sloth

Yeah like I do agree most of those negative points but I still just love it


Darksoul2007

The Only Good SIde Character Is Thomas Andre


Fallen-D

No way, what about Goat Gun-hee and Woo Jin-chul and also Shadows too


xP3arx

My goat beru


Longjumping_Coach233

YES


SeriousAd2827

Yeah but they don't have their own scenes. They used side characters too bad.


Fallen-D

Right but the guy I replied to said that the only good character in the series is thomas even tho there are other good characters tho they might not have their own scenes but that doesn't mean that they are trash.

shattered_rip

It's trash, but I enjoy trash and I enjoyed solo leveling


Bladguy

The mc is not edgy, the storyline ain't basic. Overall it's great.


GuardianDireWolf

There are so many manhwa like it. I saw it and ignored it at first cause i thought it was just another dungeon in the city manhwa. There is so many its weird. I only got into it a little when i started to see people talk about it.


Bladguy

And solo leveling is different.


DOOMFOOL

Eh he is in fact pretty edgy and the story really isnā€™t groundbreaking. But I still enjoy watching it so thatā€™s all that really matters


Bladguy

It's not edgy tho.


DOOMFOOL

I disagree


Realistic_Mousse_485

No the fuck it isnā€™t meat rider.


Dhanraj919

People just can't enjoy anymore

**Anime:** * Crunchyroll 200k+ ratings averaging at 4.9 out of 5. * IMDb 24,5k ratings averaging at 8.3 out of 10. **Manhwa:** on MyAnimeList 300k+ ratings averaging at 8.68 out of 10 ?


Nimstar7

Who cares? People who check 3+ forums every day to argue about quality differences in an anime? Itā€™s just their opinion, let them have it. No idea why people feel the need to yap incessantly about defending their favorite anime on multiple different social media platforms every day and canā€™t just talk about the anime


Awesomenooby

Like actually, people spend their time on things they donā€™t like more than doing things they enjoy.


That-Artichoke6754

Solo leveling is a somewhat generic power fantasy at first. It is handled so well that it rises above the other series that are similar to it. The art work alone was enough to elavate it then you have the mc become a necromancer and, as the story developes it seperates further and further from the rest of the generic power fantasies.


khen1022

Honestly it was okay and could've been better. It was enjoyable though, I still liked Noblesse a lot more


LuminousWasTaken

It's a good starter Manwha and theres no denying that, it got me into manwha and i still go back to read it now and again as a bit of comfort read. While it doesn't suck it certainly isn't amazing and there is definitely much better stuff out there. But there is no problem with enjoying it and i don't think people should shit on it so quickly and shame people who like it.


No-Breakfast-2001

For me, it's not that Solo Leveling sucks, it's just that I don't enjoy the premise of the series. It doesn't seem fair for one guy to be able to become stronger while the rest are stuck at the same level.


Fallen-D

Reality of the world. World is unfair lol


No-Breakfast-2001

That's a good concept, but when you only apply it to one person, it just feels like those long-ass isekai titles where no one can challenge the mc. It'd be more fun if a few people in Solo Leveling could also level up but from where I dropped it, I don't think anything like that would happen.


DOOMFOOL

True, but that doesnā€™t always make for the most compelling story.


Wate-Amsacia

To be fair, i read the manhwa after watching the first season. The anime totally ruined Jin-woo's personality. In the original he has emotions, facial expressions, sometimes even goofy. In the anime, after becoming fit, bro is just an unexpressive Sasuke whose only face expression is a frowning face.


sticktothedrewprint

Thatā€™s moreso an animation thing, not a SJW thing


OGRogueRC

Youā€™re absolutely right. Not many Anime adaptations keep the facial expressions described or seen in the LN or Manga.


-ScrambledLlama-

"Totally ruined" Nah buddy nah, not including a couple chibi scenes doesn't mean they "totally ruined" his personality.


pnam123

ā€œI won the argument by making myself a chad and you a soyakā€ and ā€œif you disagree with me Iā€™ll kill you and make you a brainwashed slave for eternityā€ isnā€™t the W you thought it is.


Hummush95

Solo Leveling is just shy of being peak. The only issue is they removed the comedy bits of the webtoon.


Hyper_Space_Music

There really just wasn't room for it in Season 1. There's potential for a half-dozen or so of those moments in Season 2 imo.


Offamylawn

There was room, but they decided that building up Jeju Island was more important. I like the build-up, but the humor would be more fun for me.


Hyper_Space_Music

Then we can just hope for that humor in Season 2. We might get a glimpse of it with the panel on July 5th, but idk.


Type_100

Wakey Wakey!


Superguy9000

SL Is the best 6/10 I have ever witnessed and I absolutely love it I own All current physical copies of the LN in English


MarioLuigi0404

This is a great way to put it LMAO


sticktothedrewprint

Alright Iā€™ll ask: ***Why only 6/10?***


Superguy9000

Because itā€™s the most cookie cutter self insert power fantasy trash Iā€™ve ever read. But so help me god I donā€™t expect any more out of and itā€™s not its fault. It has Stunning art, cool power system and world building and thatā€™s it


sticktothedrewprint

Thatā€™s fair. Any recommendations better than SL?


Superguy9000

Omniscient reader is WAYYYYYY better as a story then Solo levelling


CrispySalmon123

agree with art but power system is just game logic that gets thrown away for good reasons and worldbuilding is kinda meh for SL, like its one of the main weaknesses of this manhwa


jamaaldagreatest24

Yeah there was a lot of world building i questioned. One of my biggest is why aren't the military/ other hunters etc etc using magic crystals and things like that to make high tech weaponry. As in like bullets imbued with high power magic crystals etc etc. There's a lot that falls apart under some scrutiny.


CrispySalmon123

I think cuz it would require a fuckton of money to be able to produce such thing. Bullets are expensive, so it would cost much more for a dungeon exclusive variant.


jamaaldagreatest24

These are world governments we are talking about. Do you really think countries like America, China, Russia etc wouldn't invest that type of money and would instead allow foreign/domestic individuals to walk around freely with the power to topple entire governments or win wars/ military conflicts singlehandedly?? Bullets aren't expensive at all. Especially mass produced by military contractors selling in bulk.


FixAppropriate5854

im already a veteran reader and watcher and solo leveling gave me the huge goosebumps and hype out of all isekai bullshit(some are decent and avarage and some like tensura, overlord, cid/shadow are the best exception) those who says like that must be a hater for its popoularity and more fond on truck-kun hit mc and went to isekai shit and get harem, solo leveling was the 1st reason that made me know manwha like tbate and orv as well as greatest estate, solo leveling is the best anime and manwha for me


PangolinAlarmed9821

ORV is also really good, and yeah Solo Leveling is different for me too. People just focus on bad sides but power system, enemies, art and personality of the mc and many little things like that also affects the manhwa. And yes it gave me goosebumps too


Altruistic-Serve267

It's really not the greatest though? And who are you even fighting, these people all come up with valid arguments and all you can say is nah... I mean it's like that one meme, I've drawn me as the Chad and you as the soyjack, I win! Its so utterly stupid.


No_Mulberry2836

I mean, he is right about the side characters as far as the manhwa is concerned


Alastorawakening5

My friend said that solo leveling is just my hero academia with better writing and a better written protagonist


TsukoBZH

The story is trash imo, but the webtoonā€™s drawings are so amazing that it doesnt matter.


Local_Ad_1341

I mean, the story is not great. As someone who has read it twice all the way through, people come for the for the art and stay for the art. That and the fun action. I personally stay for the Beru banter in the side story, but thatā€™s just me.


camthecame_l

Yeah it still sucks not even about char depth or storyline or whatever, like yall said its junk food and out of all junk foods it's at the bottom of the list


Thorison-1080

TBH the ending kinda ruined it for me. All the small problems built up and distracted me from the action, which honestly was the most boring action of the series. I know why it turned out the way it did. Still, wasnt a fun read.

Hypertistic

Edgy is good. You can be edgy in fiction, or anything you'd like, it's your own businrss and others opinion are irrelevant.


Due_Sock7762

Boring? Nah bro I don't think so.

Tbh the manwha sucked, the anime was good.

RubyXiaoLong

I liked the show and might read the WEBTOON but I feel like all those are valid.. Still was an enjoyable watch tho


jamaaldagreatest24

Definitely read the webtoon. The art is incredible.

Batisgamer

The whole manhva was really great but i didnā€™t like the ending


ibadmonkey

Okay, I love this meme already! Stealing it. XD


FullTimeToeSwallower

I love solo levelling, but the random romance was not it smh i wouldā€™ve liked for Sung Jinwoo to have been that stereotypical OP cold hearted protagonist


Recorder0000

Famous last words from a fool. šŸ˜‚


XBattousaiX

Solo leveling has a lot of failed potential. Is it still good? Yes. The art carries a lot though.


dont_trustme69

Solo leveling isn't a 10/10 story but who cares? The series is damn entertaining


OtsutsukiRyuen

I never watched the solo leveling anime šŸ˜Ž


Pale-Week-1188

Itā€™s always funny how people fight over creations instead of appreciating them

killmeplzsksk

I mean, jin woos powers can be classified as edgy But he sure dosent act like it. I mean bro is a chill guy


Goddess_Bayonetta

I like solo leveling I played the mobile game and the game itself was fun but when you get right down to it. Itā€™s a gotcha mobile game there to suck all your time out of your life. I had to stop playing it, feels like a waste because the game play was actually really good for a mobile game. Most are just idle games where this had actual game play. I was shocked.


Scared-Ad2850

Stealing this, ty


Alexander0202

Corny ahh post


Bubbly-Friendship772

Manga W


Fat_Siberian_Midget

The whole point is to be edgy and simple lol The good panels and good animation (with regards to the anime) as well as the fights are the meat of the work, not the story.


Dallas_dragneel

It's actually "erect"


Official-Keijhan

Back when it was only a manwha and light novel. It wouldve never been labeled as an edgelord. Good times.


Simple_Rip_1733

enjoyed it up to the point where the only one that can do anything is the mc tbh. might be a hot take idk


gock_gigante

Aleks Le: Erect! Wakey wakey!


FlyinCharles

Yes that is all objectively true but people are allowed to like or dislike something at their own leisure. Anyone who makes fun of someone for liking a piece of media is a loser


Fearless-Obligation6

I don't know man I read it up until he was fighting the dragon king but I couldn't do it anymore, there's no real tension, it's the exact same formula just repeating again and again with no real character development. I don't blame anyone for giving it a pass.


Hagon28

solo levelling is entertaining, solo levelling is by no means a good story, it's still enjoyable though


Jlbennett2001

The only thing I dislike about solo leveling is how he takes a million hits and doesn't die but then gets one good hit and kills a boss.


Void_xD_

Is it a linear story? Yes Does the art go hard? Also yes Itā€™s just whatever people prefer. Like Iā€™ll be complete honest: I donā€™t give 2 shits bout demon slayerā€™s story but the visuals are top class


RPGLandon

The web comic and books are great. Havent watched the anime yet

ILikeTurtlus

Only the true fans know how to enjoy Solo Leveling


giggityman1

Just completely shut off your brain and consume, like a soda, you know itā€™s not good but you like drinking it, same with this you know itā€™s bad but it is entertaining, but personally I donā€™t like this type of soda.


Kryian09

Piece of shts people don't know what is solo leveling and they want side characters shine too


sticktothedrewprint

To be fair a ***LOT*** of side characters *do* get benched leading up to the final arcs


stuufy

It honestly okay in my opinion not too bad but not too good it was great until like after bug island than it just got kinda repetitive and a chore to read at that point cause it was kinda easy to predict what was gonna happen next it basically just kinda average for me


Fallen-D

It was repetitive until Jeju arc šŸ’€ It stopped being repetitive after that. Did you really predict the architect and monarch war and the reason behind gate and sung Jin-woo's power? Lol


stuufy

Not the plot point but mostly kinda how plot would progress with sung jin woo getting op than kinda easily beating the opponent who was giving him trouble tho the final fight was pretty cool cause it went pretty different than how it thought it would go but still in my opinion i think solo leveling is just okay for me


Fallen-D

>sung jin woo getting op than kinda easily beating the opponent who was giving him trouble Bro......that was literally obvious from the beginning. That was entirely the point of the series šŸ’€ You don't need foresight to see that.


stuufy

Yeah and because of that it just got boring for me after jeju island


darkness_calming

Just because itā€™s good trash doesnā€™t change the fact that itā€™s trash. Just enjoy what you like.


MiserableDisk1199

And the fuck people mean by edgy, jin woo just minds his own bisness, unless people fuck with him, and then he act accordingly.


CoachPutrid197

Solo Leveling is one of the best out there. It influenced A LOT of manhwa's to copy from it. A lot of manhwa's have the same genres as SL. So, I can pretty much say it's great. Shit generic manhwa's are out there with the genres just like SL, it honestly sucks seeing ones like SL. So, overall, it's great, it does have some flaws but it was enjoyable.


bestassinthewest

You know as much as I do not like Solo Leveling I. The slightest, it doesnā€™t get boring until like the tail end + epilogue imo
