The premise of Solo Levelling is very simple: A weak character with strong principles who obtains an unqiue ability of "levelling up" and improving his strength and skills in a relatively static environment where power levels are fixed. The Manwha constantly enforces this where we see him grow constantly and the comparisons and contrasts to other characters.


Story- 8/10
Once this is out of the way, we see the story revolve around this. There isn't too much in the story: the world-base is fascinating where we have "hunters" with supernatural powers who appeal (or seemingly) to the common good by ridding the world of monsters, typically through clearances of dungeons. Dungeons vary in difficultly based on ranks that correlate to the ranks and ability of hunters. The story starts out very intriguing giving the reader the glimpse of the real world dread of the story seeing the real glimpse of what a dungeon represents. The MC on the brink of the death manages to obtain a mysterious power- turning him from the weakest hunter into someone with unlimited potential. The story follows the MC with the pondering question of who or what the system is through the interaction of the interesting world. At this point, the story of the MC is average since we don't truly dive into the main plot points. It gets a boost for it's interesting arcs of exposition and environment.

Art- 10/10
The art is truly spectacular. The manwha clearly displays consistent, versatile effort with some of the most spectacular shots. There isn't much more to say.

Character- 8/10.
While we do see the MC change quite noticeably and gradually along the series the character does seem to lose some of it's intrigue and fleshiness glimpsed in the beginning of the series. Sure, the MC gets powerful along the way, but he quickly becomes quite bland and generic. To some this may appeal because it displays "being a badass" but often, there seems to be a divide over the series into the reader understanding him as a character such as his more vulnerable parts. Again that ties in to becoming more powerful, he is still likeable and grows but becoming stronger increases his confidence and we rarely now seem in his deathly or dire situations that show out his character. Perhaps this will happen in time.

Enjoyment- 10/10

Seriously, this Manwha is action packed to the max where every chapter seems to have amazing scenes. The thrill by the author of having more and more characters in an enormous world keeps an endless potential for readers to see both the aspects of the world itself and the MC's dynamics towards it. The best part? Every arc is worth it because we as the reader are rewarded with seeing the MC grow in power- new skills, skill point enhancement (think RPG), job classes, its always a thrill.

Overall- 10/10

This isn't everyones cup of tea. Solo Levelling definitely appeals to a more generic audience looking for amazing skills, abilities, monsters in an interesting setting with easier and quicker payoffs. The pacing set allows readers to never feel dull. Because of the many aspects of the world and character, readers can be captivated knowing each chapter is worthwhile.
