Solo Leveling

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint addpermalink

Both are set in a world with fantastic creatures, with a system of level up and different abilities. Similar art (both good) and a likeable main character, with promising side characters. Both also show several times there is no limit to anybody's power, making the level up journey even more enjoyable. If solo leveling is a 10, i'd say Omniscient Reader is a solid 8 or 8.5

It is somewhat similar to solo leveling but at the same time quite different. 

reportRecommended by OldestDream_

Both are power fantasies that take place in the real world, which has been fused with rpg game type attributes. The main characters both have abilities that put them 'above the system', allowing for some cool shit to happen. 

reportRecommended by Uji_Gintoki_Bowl

∘ Made by the same studio, so you know art will be at its peak.
∘ Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy - with an additional tag - Post Apocalyptic.
∘ The protagonist of both are really smart. Omniscient Reader's protagonist uses his wits in every, well, scenario.
∘ If you like Solo Leveling, this is a must read.
∘ The storyline of Omniscient Reader is a literal roller-coaster -- of emotions and of genres.
∘ The world of Omniscient Reader is massive -- like huuuuuuge.
∘ As of writing of this recommendation, the manhwa/webtoon is nowhere close to the absolute size of the novel which consists of 551 chapters and the massive universe I mentioned earlier.
∘ If you haven't read or didn't like Solo Leveling, this is also a must read for you as this is a story for "readers."
∘ Lastly, this is one story that I recommend wholeheartedly, as this, is a must read for "readers."

I heavily recommend these two!

Omniscient Reader:  
Story: 10/10  
truly incredible story that stands out in it's genre. It also has great character development and character interactions.
Visuals: 9.5/10
Very good visuals!

Solo leveling:
Story: 9.5/10  
The story flows well and it has great character development and character interactions.  It Lacks a tad bit when it comes to worldbuilding.
Visuals: 10/10
Stunning visuals that keeps you entertained. 

These could be for you  if you like
	- Action, Fantasy, apocalypse, monsters, mythology, isekai, shōnen
	- Leveling/upgrading/class system
	- male leads with black hair

Step away from your boring b/w comics and check these out!
Both comics feature a type of game leveling system, with stunning and colorful visuals fueled with action, fantasy and interesting male leads.  If you're into shōnen or wanting a story that feels more for young/adults, I'd say these comics will be a big step up and will probably not disapoint you. I suggest starting with Solo leveling, as the comic is finished, unlike ORV  which is currently ongoing.

My thoughts after reading them...
In my opinion Solo leveling is carried more on it's visual than it's story. This is not to say the story is poor, it is good and easier to digest than Omniscient Reader's viewpoint who has a bigger story/concept to play with and dive into.  The problem for me with Solo leveling is that it is a bit narrow minded when it comes to the viewpoint of other nationalities and doesn't take advantage of it's opportunity to truly worldbuild on its locations and people (which I find a repeating pattern of in other power stories with leveling systems as well, example  Kill the hero has the same issue).  Regardless, I did enjoy the story as it flows really well.  Out of the two I enjoyed Omniscient reader the most as it is unique and stands out in it's category - plus  I'm a sucker for the drizzle of mythology that it got. read more

Both have similar premises with 1) isekai video game / stat-raising mechanics, 2) protagonist that eventually becomes OP by their own intelligence, and 3) colorful cast of characters with their own "superpowers." 

However, ORV is overall stronger in terms of story and surprises - you actually have to be paying attention and actively questioning the status quo of the world. Quests have objectives that spice up the narrative. SL has better momentum because it's constantly hyping up the protagonist more and more, with the art and action sequences to back it up. Doesn't require much thinking on the part of the reader, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you just wanna see the main character kick ass. read more

They both feature a leveling up/growing concept, with amazing fights and art, however, unlike the easy to digest and constant hype building of SL, ORV dives in deep into 4th wall breaking concepts and has very unique ideas.

Tomb Raider King addpermalink

Honestly Tomb Raider King is basically a Solo Leveling rip-off, the same premise just with Tombs instead of Dungeons. Other than that, you have the same-looking protagonist that gets a very similar gaming interface irl, proceeds to get extremely overpowered and gets dragged into grand-scale conflict.

Tomb Raider King came out way before Solo Levelling, but since Solo Levelling took the spotlight ever since its release, i can explain why.
Both Manhwa's involve very smart MCs that follow their own rules and show no mercy. 
They start off weak but progressively get stronger due to a system they gain from a strong entity.
While they dont show the Tomb Raider King MC's weak state, it is clearly stated/shown that - before his regression- he was too weak to fight for himself, and eventually got himself into a trap.
Both MCs are:
- Powerful (Both physically and reputation-wise)
- Highly Intelligent 
- Merciful/Merciless (depending on who they're up against)
- And very hot, I almost busted looking at them :D read more

This manga also has well drawn and funny characters. Most important aspect in this manga is the way they use every character and the protagonist in order to make this manga’s story become more fabulous.

Weapons, tombs, and some other things in this manga will remind you of Solo Leveling.

One Punch-Man addpermalink

If you ignore the comedy/parody part .. then there is hardly any difference between OPM and Solo Levelling.. starting from the Unknown or not yet revealed reason/logic behind the strength of the Overpowered Main character, the concept of growing from weak to insanely strong , the main character ranked very low despite having the strength to outclass the proud fighters in the higher ranks, everyone looking down on the MC because of his low rank, MC gradually climbing up in rankings while shocking and surprising everyone, the random apprearence of monsters in cities and special humans with abilities to fight them organised in a ranking system which is the same in both series( S,A,B,C,D.. Ranks). Both series have insanely good artwork and that's the prime selling point of both series. The artwork is so good that it gives you the feeling of watching anime, making the fights very enjoyable.
In sum , you will be forgiven for thinking of Solo leveling as the Korean version of One punch man.. with the exception that MC does not One punch his opponents in Solo Levelling since he uses weapons  HaHa. read more

The main difference between them is the comedy part about OPM. Besides that both have a MC that becomes overpowered because unknown reasons and who's ranked very low despite being ridicously strong.  

Also both of them have amazing drawings. Seriously, you will fall in love with the artstyle of them.  

reportRecommended by Unai222

Both starts off with a weak protagonists that want to become strong. Although the tone is very different (one being satirical parody, one being how the protagonist develop), the world-building is nearly identical. Both have monster suddenly appearing on their world, have some companies hiring people as heroes/hunters, ranks their heroes, etc.

And one of the prominent thing to know is that both of these titles have awesome art (the type that feels as if the pictures are moving) and pure badassery (especially when they fight).

Despite the fact that I found these two titles similar, Solo Leveling focuses less on side characters (almost non-existent).  

reportRecommended by FrostDirt

Except for the satirical part of One Punch Man, both have some similarities:
- Ranks, with S rank being the highest.
- It is in the present age.
- People who have awakened their powers become hired by some company to fight monsters.
- Awesome protagonist.

Also, there are several small narrative similarities.

Has a very similar feel to it with the MC having powers that could make him feared or hated should people know about them and continues to grow stronger with near limitless potential but is not rushing to get there. It is a fantastic read that is almost as amazing a solo leveling in terms of action and excitement and better, in my opinion, at making the reader want to see the MC succeed and root for him. 

reportRecommended by Judis_Francois

both Fantasy world, Both stories involve game-like features, Both have subordinates, both have subordinates who help him in his work. And both main characters have the ability to command an army of the dead, 

reportRecommended by alirezasharifi

The MC's of both of these manhwa are given a second chance at life with a potentially OP ability. In SSS-Class Revival Hunter, the MC awakens a S ranked skill which allows him to get a skill of the person/Hunter/monster he is killed by. But the downside is, he dies.

The next day, the MC stumbles upon a scene where the no.1 ranked Hunter kills another Hunter. Scared, the MC runs for his life but gets caught and inevitably killed by the no.1 Hunter

After his death, the MC is shown several skill cards face-down, one of them being a S ranked skill. MC chooses the skill and wakes up 24 hours before his death. When MC checks the skill he got from the no.1 ranked Hunter, he sees that it is a skill which allows him to go back 24 hours in time upon death. (Ch.1 & 2)

SSS-Ranked Revival Hunter is a manhwa I do not recommend to people that are triggered easily and is under the age of 13 as there is A LOT of things like m*rder,s*uicide and things like this. Strong language is also used so be aware of that. Like in Solo leveling, the MC in this manhwa also has a system, although unlike Solo leveling every Hunter has this system. The hunters are chosen by the tower that appeared on earth and are ranked from E to S, a bit like Solo leveling.

All in all, SSS-Ranked Revival Hunter is a solid manhwa and I strongly recommend it to the people who liked Solo leveling. read more

Both mangas/manhwas have a game based system, in overlord, the protagonist is transported to a game while Solo Leveling has a game system in real life. Overlord's main character is an ''undead god'' which makes him summon undead, something similar to the Solo Leveling MC's shadow ability even though Overlord uses more other more OP skills than Solo Leveling. Although Overlord has quite a calm storyline with not so many fights, when the time comes, it can be considered good but lacks excitement compared to Solo Leveling.

If you enjoyed Second Life Ranker, I would definitely recommend Solo Leveling. As mentioned earlier, Solo Leveling shares similarities with Second Life Ranker in terms of their themes and focus on action. The story follows Sung Jin-woo, a weak hunter who is suddenly granted immense power, and his journey to become the strongest in the world.

The art in Solo Leveling is absolutely stunning, with beautifully drawn characters and backgrounds. The action scenes are particularly well-done, with dynamic paneling and choreography that make them a joy to read. Additionally, the story is well-written and engaging, with a great balance of action, drama, and mystery.

Overall, Solo Leveling is a fantastic manhwa that is definitely worth checking out if you enjoyed Second Life Ranker. read more

Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu addpermalink

Stories about overcoming and bravery that make you want to live and become better and better in your lives. 

Events which you question your own existence in the midst of serious and conflicting situations. 

Arts that take your breath away and are unique. Epic forms and postures. Action scenes that are more like outcasts of old classic books.
 
And of course, both have redefined the genre "Isekai" in a brilliant and unique way. 
Current works that are masterpieces!

Darwin's Game addpermalink

In both mangas (manwha, for Solo Leveling) the main character started as a shy and weak person who had been protected by someone close to them, but as the story progress they basically transform into a complete badass character. Also in both world are a game-like feature system.

Gantz addpermalink

Both series focus on MCs who were dragged into game-like systems that confront them with various monsters. As they grow mentally and physically stronger their quests becomes tougher. Epic fights are included.

Gantz is more gory, ruthless and complex.

Latna Saga: Survival of a Sword King addpermalink

Average Korean man fights horrors and somehow survives, and is now the most powerful person in existence. Honestly, though my enjoyment of Solo Levelling decreased as the series went on, the earlier portion reminded me a lot of Latna Saga. These stories are very different, but if you enjoy a fantasy battle weak-to-strong story, you should enjoy both.

Bleach addpermalink

If you love mindless hype then you'll enjoy both of these series. They have similar artstyles (at least after Bleach's art changes) with beautiful characters and empty, action focused panels. Ichigo and Jin-woo also have similar backgrounds with (a) younger sister(s) and a sick/dead mother. The series are similarly flawed, so if you enjoyed one series you'll likely enjoy the other.

Re:Monster addpermalink

In Re:Monster a normal guy dies and gets transported to another world, starts as a weak goblin. Over time gains levels, new abilities from the monsters he kills and changes class.

Solo Leveling a normal guy nearly dies, after that starts a new life with new abilities like leveling and absorbing skills from others.

Would recommend both.

Sword Art Online addpermalink

A world, were the protagonist has to learn how to fight in order to survive. As they gain experience they became much more stronger surpassing their friends. If you liked, the adventure part of SAO you will certainly like solo leveling. The main difference is in the focus of the plot. In SAO, the focus is more on the romantic relationships that are formed along the chapters, in solo leveling follows the conquers of the dungeons and the streight development of the character.

Manga: Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou addpermalink

Just Like in Arifureta, both the MCs are weak in the start, and rise explosively in power.
If you are someone who just likes to see one sided fights or OP MCs.
You are definitely going to like these.
Also in both the stories there is involvement of game like Interface
Both the MCs have kind of a kill or be killed policy as well

The only difference is that Arifureta is kind of a little Harem while Solo Leveling isn't.
Hope this helps ;)

Kumo desu ga, Nani ka? addpermalink

starts off with the MC stuck with a game interface. 
MC decides to level up and become stronger and quickly becomes op.
The thing is neither of these stories cease to be boring because the MC is op, in fact they just get more and more interesting. 
One of the reasons is that the MC of each of them have a fleshed out character and actually develop as they get stronger. 
Also both of them have hype af fights

Kingdom addpermalink

Both Works are about a person who starts from nothing and gradually gets stronger through training and experience. We get to see every single step of it and see their accomplishments owing to the fact that nothing gets skipped.

Both works are very action-packed and will hook you from the get-go. Kingdom is a tactical military historical fiction while solo leveling is fantasy fiction with some political flair to it.

The New Gate addpermalink

Both have a lot of fighting and action that include weaponry and sorcery. The difference is that "The New Gate" is about a powerful male lead thrown in a world that is assumed to be a different world. While "solo leveling" is about a male lead growing from being in a weak state in modern Japan that is being invaded by gates full of monsters behind them. In both cases, the mc utilizing features only accessible to him such as game-like menu.

Mythic Item Obtained addpermalink

Honestly, they are shockingly similar! They both involve relatively weak raiders gaining powers that enable them to change their path. They are manipulated by the system that allows them to get stronger. In mythic item his goal is to be stronger and get revenge. In Solo leveling up we are not sure of the reason for his new system until it is revealed much later.

Just like many other Manhwa, it falls under the weak to strong category, although, the MC in The Archmage Returns After 4000 Years could be argued as either the weakest or the strongest right off the bat depending on how you look at it.

Both also contain Magic, over-ruling higher powers such as gods etc.
