While other webtoons are ranked as mediocre, Solo Leveling has become a top-notch manhwa masterpiece.
Solo Leveling attracted the attention of readers from the beginning, with the anime adaptation released a year later. The webtoon revolves around a hero who becomes stronger the more he trains, so it is not too difficult for the author to create a series of exciting and engaging battles. Even though it does not have many new or unpredictable elements, but that Manhwa still mesmerizes readers in its own way.
Grandiose battle scenes
The first highlight of the series is the action scenes, which allow the protagonist to flaunt his strength and abilities. The appeal of the action scenes in Solo Leveling has been compared by many readers to the intense combat scenes in video games. Watching Jin-Woo pierce through a crowd of enemies or defeat a powerful boss can be as satisfying for readers as watching action-oriented games like Devil May Cry or God of War. Therefore, the excitement of readers does not come from the challenges but from the grandiose battle scenes.
The protagonist can be ugly, but the antagonist must be beautiful and powerful
If compared to other manga-style stories with the same theme, the main character of Solo Leveling is clearly not handsome, even a bit ugly. However, this is unintentionally compatible with Jin-Woo’s ordinary and not simple personality. However, everything is completely different if you look at his opponents. The designs of these characters are all very impressive, from the giant “god” statue in the first few chapters to the King of Ants in the following arcs. That Manhwa has truly “reclaimed justice” for the villain club.
A persuasive world-building
The plot of Solo Leveling is not complicated or impressive, but the world-building for the story to take place is surprisingly convincing and logical. The encounters between hunters or the competition between S-Ranks … all remind the reader of how alphas fight each other in nature.
Not only focusing on human society, Solo Leveling also has small stories about the world of monsters and their motivations. As the series develops, Jin-Woo has encountered many more thoughtful enemies, who can communicate with humans. The peak moments in the protagonist’s psychological exploitation are the key to helping it.
Conclusion
Solo Leveling is a masterpiece of the webtoon genre. It has everything that a reader could want in a webtoon: exciting action, an engaging story, and relatable characters. It is no wonder that the webtoon has been such a huge success.
