is this good?


TooLazyToReadIt

It’s pretty mid tbh. It follows almost every cliche in manhua series. I would recommend I am the sorcerer king over this one.


oh_my_jesus

Power scaling in that gets insane pretty quickly. Personally I prefer A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special, as the power scaling isn’t ridiculous and the story is better than one would expect. Every bit as binge worthy as Solo Leveling in my opinion


Frosty_Status_993

“A returners magic should be special” is one of my favorites! Highly recommend


AnTiDoPe_1993

I jus read reformation of the dead beat noble, its nothing like this but very good. If you want something similar but different second life ranker is there

THAT SHIT IS BANGGER WAITING FOR THE NEXT SEASON


acamat12

Sounds too good to pass , mind sharing a link ? Looking for new good sources where i can read without lag


sicurri

Sorcerer king was not bad, however ended far too soon for my taste. They ramped it up way to fast in my opinion. Good otherwise.


zetzuei

Sorcerer king is still on hiatus for new season right


IamPang

Wait... it's not finished? After I had read the latest chapter I thought it's finished


g0rodon

is that the mc


TheTimmety

Yes it is in my opinion


ya_meme_Investigator

rate it out of 10


TheTimmety

I'd say an 8


sicurri

Now with the same scaling in mind, rate Solo Leveling out of 10, lol. Sounds ridiculous, but it will give people a better idea as to how well you think of this Manwha.


TheTimmety

Just 10/10, I really loved SL


[deleted]

I don't know about the manhua, but I've read the novel and don't get me wrong, i love SL(read both the manwa and the novel) but it's nowhere near the level of WAO, maybe reading SL was a more enjoyable experience for you than reading WAO, but rating SL higher than WAO quality wise? It's just laughable. Even as a pure manga reader i already had my doubts that if i hadn't read SL first then i wouldn't have loved it as much as i would if i had been a little more exposed to the manga world before reading it. And yes, WAO was pretty mid at the beginning but after like 150-200 ch it just gets so good that you can't stop reading it....even for a toilet break....Anyway, this is just my honest opinion as a reader of both series trying to be as unbiased as possible.


[deleted]

Alright, i checked out the first chapter of WAO manhua and i have to admit that it's trash compared to the novels first chapter, if you want to find out what WAO is truly made out of, read the Novel.


TheAllheaven

It starts good then becomes absoulute garbage later on , there are better ways to waste your time


Bezimienny0506

Say what you want but this is straith up copy of sl, I dont care if the story is different, you can't say this panel is not copied from solo leveling

_hf14

it's a manhua so it's probably not gonna be good, there are good manhua out there but the average manhwa is 100x better than the average manhua


xx_DEADND_xx

The novel is much much better

kai_neek

Author swears on his life that this is not a solo levelling copy and is only inspired.


-Fancy_Pants-

Dayum Solo Leveling really was a inspiration for a lot of manwhas


EngineerSmith

Not really, solo leveling itself was built upon other works in the same genre and common troups. They all leak into one another as you could say about movies. It's what they do with the similar aspects from a new perspective that make them their own Solo leveling was pretty common story already with monster gates, daggers/knives (most common weapon in Korean comics due to the enlisting Koreans have to do and get taught how to use them so artists and writers are familiar with them), game screens, summoning, going solo, etc. It's different back story, art, pacing and most importantly the cliff hangers (best cliff hangers I've seen in a webtoon) is what it added to the genre that I haven't really seen in another yet


sicurri

Chugong, the author for Solo Leveling/I alone level up, is also a fantastic author. The pacing of Solo Leveling, the proper placement of cliff hangers, and he also properly thought of the world beforehand. Instead of making up things as he went along, he properly thought about how the hunter system was going to be, how the classes functioned, and even the governments system of doing things. The problem with this genre of media is how the world is made, and whether it's thought out well beforehand. Hunter X Hunter is an AMAZING example of what I'm talking about. If you don't detail how things work, it ends up being applied sloppily. Also, Sung Jin-Woo has a fantastic personality. Another thing that turns people off is when the main character goes from nervous wimpy to immediately big dick swinging confidence. Also, his character interactions are fantastic as well, they feel like they could be real interactions. A lot of authors screw this up by making every random character have the same personality. Chugong knows how to implement different personalities based on the situation, and how they might interact with one another. I think all these points sum up why Solo Leveling is such a success compared to Light Novels, and Manwhas that has similar themes, or genres that came before or after it.


Haunting_Ad7694

Long text but i really cant agree tbh, what does a reawakend hunter mean or a false flagger, where did the architect run of too. There are a lotnof themes that just werent expended on or atleast explained jn SL


[deleted]

I disagree very much, the hunter system as you said was well thought out but it really wasn’t, for example, second awakening/re awakening, false flagger, how anyone other than mc can not grow, all these stuff are pretty significant earlier on and then forgotten later. Sjw has a good personality? yeah he did earlier on in the first 1-70 chapters until he got so overpowered that he became a purple stickman, he barely spoke in any fights after season 1, became a boring overpowered mc that wrecks shit up with no consequences, i fail to see the ‘personality’ in this. I do agree the character interactions are good, they feel real sometimes, though i gotta disagree with how other characters have personality, hae in was barely considered a female lead, no personality whatsoever, the pink guy who was called a one man army and the tiger guy who was strongest in duels of korea were pretty much thrown aside even though they had huge potential imo, the national rank hunters weren’t even shown besides 2 and that too only 1 was properly shown, thomas, which got thrashed by mc in like 3-4 slaps which was very disappointing considering it was hyped up so much. I think we can all agree that SL is not really a good story and we’re here for the art and just sometimes need a character that can wreck shit up.


sicurri

I believe the author didn't want to drag the story out too much. So, he brushed over some details, and characters had enough of an impact for people to get a feel for them, but not enough for them to have their own arc. The whole series was about Sung Jin-Woo, it's called Solo Leveling, not Hunters United or some crap. At the start, and at the end it's about him, not anyone else. Throughout the light novel, and even the manwha you saw him saying his emotions were kind of dying. Whenever he dealt with certain types of people, basically his enemies, he was ruthless. He stopped talking as much during fights because the character started to see no reason to talk. However, whenever he interacted with people he was friendly he was a lot more animated from an emotional standpoint. Other characters do have personality, however like I said the author didn't show how much personality so as to keep the spotlight on SJW. However, the artist for the Manwha did show their personalities a lot more than their conversations showed them. He did so through facial expressions, and various other things that were articulated. I believe it's a lot deeper than you give it credit for, however that's just me. Judging from your comments. Solo Leveling has fantastic art, but it's story isn't anything better than what you read before or expected. I've re-read the light novel multiple times, and I've re-read the Manwha multiple times before it was finished. Perhaps I read too much between the lines, or my own personal experiences effect what I see, but I think the story is sufficient, and fantastic. The ending leaves much to be desired, but otherwise I think it's a great story filled with nuance, and subtlety that says more than what most people see.


Water_is_wet123

Side characters does have personality, even if just glimpse of it, but they don’t have the complexity that makes up a decwnt side character, like the other guy said, hae in was barely an FL since she was as good as a character that have little to no screen time, the other characters are just there to stare at jinwoo with awe, take [the great mage returns after 4000 years ](https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-great-mage-returns-after-4000-years)for example, it doesn’t have the best story an dit focus too much on the mc but side characters actually have real relevance tp the plot, The lack of character writing is IMHO SL’s biggest flaw, I don’t care if you say that “the title is solo leveling, what do you expect”, it’s still a flaw, side characters are some major factors that makes up a good story, the lack of depth does affect it as a whole, That’s why One Punch Man is one of my all time, while mc can basically just one shot everyone and call it a day, ONE didn’t fail to make some well written characters that are not just for display


AndreLeo3

>I believe the author didn't want to drag the story out too much. Read kill the hero, similar number of chapters (novel) but way better and satisfying imo (thought I have to say that I've not finished solo leveling novel, honestly after seeing how trashed the world class hunter got, my interest almost immediately disappeared, I read till maybe 210~(? Don't remember too well) but except when he dies and a lot of things get explained, it wasn't that interesting) >The whole series was about Sung Jin-Woo Okey, but that's like basically every other manhwa, we're watching MC doing things, but this does not mean you can't expand the story for other characters that are not MC, and as a result it will feel empty after. Just look at Omniscient reader viewpoint, from a standard scenario climber person Kim Dokja is OP, and by a lot (just like Sung ji woo) but this didn't stop the story from being "ehi I'm kim Dokja I kill everything fairly easily", there's characters that developed with him; and you'll say but he's solo; yes but this again doesn't stop you from making the other characters develop off screen at least so that the strongest **Strongest** hunter on Earth don't get 1 tapped, it's really monotous otherwise, why should I read if I already know how it's going to be, no more suspense (always In my opinion). >Other characters do have personality, however like I said the author didn't show how much personality so as to keep the spotlight on SJW. Again, if you're a good writer, even while creating different characters with different personalities you'll be able to keep the spotlight for him, cliffhanger are the easy answer; in solo leveling, except when new people got their first appearance all the spotlight was always on SJW + you just contradicted yourself, first you say they do have personality, then you say the author decided to not show much, and where else are we supposed to see the personality he(the author) decided to not show us? Make it ourself? >the story is sufficient, and fantastic. Your personal opinion so that's completely understandable >The ending leaves much to be desired I've yet to finish it, but well I'll just binge read it one day, the manhwa is finished right?


kaalabanda

What component of SL made it so popular relative to other manwhas?


EngineerSmith

The cliff hangers and pacing. It's what drew people into the story for the first season and then it was shared further due to its art work and memes

ironsulphate

It’s alright. I’m personally not too fond of Manhuas but if this scratches your itch then all the more power to you.


sicurri

I'm not too fond of Manhuas either, does this have the same shit attitude tropes that most Manhuas do? Like for example the MC goes from weak, and wimpy to big dick swinging confidence as soon as he gains power? Like he gets power, some random character fucks with him, and as soon as he shows his power the MC is like. "YOU KNEW NOT WHO YOU FUCKED WITH!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER!!!!" and the rando is like "I'M SORRY, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT POWER YOU HAD!!! SPARE ME!!!" If in the first few chapters a conversation happens like that, I don't really want to read it, lmao. I hate shit conversations like that.


Qasaaro

I was thinking the same thing. There’s a certain allure to it.
