Ore dake Level Up na Ken Season 2: Arise from the Shadow Episode 3 Discussion

Pretty lame we didn't get to see the fight between DILF and Hwang /: I would've preferred that over Jinwoo looking at his stupid inventory.

I think this has also been extremely rushed like the previous season. The last fight was stupid.

What was the point of the swimming scene? I really don't mind fanservice, but why?

I can't believe they cut out the funny scene someone else pointed out ;-; Jinwoo seems too serious and stiff imo

What an Utter Trash Studio, Rushing it so hard that things make no sense now. The Thrill is Far gone and Everything is a mess. LoL.
Disappointing 😞😞😞

@Elyshan You're right, it just felt a little unexpected on my end because of how slow the pacing of the first season and now with the second season, the pacing is the same as the webtoon/manwha.

So many comments are saying it's rushed and stuff but this is exactly how those scenes are played out in the webtoon, he's OP, so he melts through most enemies.

The second season is not rushed, it's not cutting anything but it's actually adding new scenes and dialogue to the story.

I'm annoyed because the first season was so fucking bad and there are ppl complaining about this season because they think it's rushed.

Oh this is Jinwoo and Jinna's father back from the dead... I mean gate? And Hwang didn't stand a chance against him, the agents commenting how was fast he was defeated limited the landscape collateral damage. LOL

So this episode will be the weakest of this season and that’s saying something because it was still good. To summarise for people who don’t like to read much, my criticism for this: feels too rushed and fast paced.

They did remove the Baek talk about red gate incident with the news, but I suppose they removed it as it was done to lead to him to talk about jeju island which they covered in S1. So the people thinking they removed a lot, they cleverly put events in different order.

Now what they actually removed? Well after sung defeats vulcan/was fighting him as well, his army did help here and there, while also iron took his head off to deliver to jinwoo for comedic purposes. Do I dislike that? Not as much as the other thing I disliked the most about this episode.

When the preview came out and it was confirmed it will cover the whole demon castle part 1, I got anxious. Why? There’s dialogue or to be exact moments that should in theory be given time for the viewer/watcher/us to read and understand like the items he acquired and let’s say how Jinwoo would feel after gaining these items. These were removed… It’s like 2 panels at most from 5 chapters, it is impressive they covered all that in one episode without technically removing anything but it’s still bad because why would you do this, only for you to just make an exposition dump in the last 2 minutes about what Jinwoo took? Like it made the pacing feel soo off for anyone watching this.

Now does this worry me? Yes, because next episodes cover one of my favourite parts and it involves zero fighting. The interactions should be fire with the dialogue but if they have no patience for some you know giving time to the watcher to understand without telling them, I don’t know.

I still understand why the pacing is this way because they are literally covering two big fights this season, demon castle part 2 arc (I expect 3 episodes) and jeju island fight (I expect 4 episodes). But I would prefer them to add an extra episode and make it 14 to make the pacing better than sacrificing a full part/episode for it.

An extra fear I have, if it’s 5 chapters per episode then ironically I am afraid for the jeju island arc lol. They could actually do it in 2 episodes and make the other 2 the epilogue part of it which would actually make me pissed off more than anything.

Extra: I also had hope they would add scenes for the fight between Sung Ilhwan and Dong soo but I am disappointed to say nope, and they actually removed some interactions between them, when I looked it up. Like please don’t rush the dialogue again especially in the next episode

Check your facts man....there are 13 episodes first thing....
And what are u even saying man....I have a solo leveling Dp so what?....you gave the dp of 86.....not much difference in rattings...And ya there are 4arcs being covered...so what....most of them are so small.....What significant scene they skipped in ep 3??... nothing much honestly....And i didn't say anything wrong in the previous post as well....most people will agree....

after two good episodes one boring one..
at least this Dong-Soo is hopefully dead, he deserved it a lot!
but the fights in dungeon could be made better and more interesting
I like it that he owned them easy, but show some nice animations and not only when he fights ultra strong enemy for no reason...

So Jinwoo's dad must be S++ that was insane. He made quick work of that S-rank hunter. Jinwoo has also become insanely stronger. Idk if he is S rank though. I think maybe high-A-Tier. When he said, "Do immortal monsters feel fear?" It gave me the same vibe when Batman said "Do you bleed?" Seeing his evolution is wonderful. I can't wait for him to save his mum.
I'm not shocked his dad is strong. Spending 10+ years in a dungeon meant he was fighting every day without fail and probably eating those monsters' flesh for nutrients. I am assuming that might have given him a boost in strength.
Genuinely wonder what horrors he saw in there going from dungeon to dungeon.

@The_Black_B3ast Without getting into spoilers, remember that once someone awakens as a hunter they can't get stronger through means like fighting or consumables. Food would've kept him going like any other human being, but wouldn't have any effect on boosting any stats or something like that


I kinda get what you mean, but is it really darker if they're just empty puppets, compared to actually retaining their personality and awareness while being enslaved and practically forced to obey?

Besides that, you will see later in the story why it's better this way. It's one of the things that made SL a bit more unique and loved.

Mostly no complaints, but they need to slow down the damn status screens. They pop up and disappear in less than a second, constantly forcing me to rewind and pause to read them. Is spending an extra second so we can read them really going to ruin the episode?

@JCDRANZER This season is rushed, lol
