This will be my first review in this website. Solo leveling was my first manhwa that I read about 3-5 years ago (I forgot). Ever since, I read more manhwas and concluded that Solo Leveling was an average series story wise. It's been a long time since I read the manhwa and people kept hyping the anime while I had zero expectations.
When I finally watch the anime and finished S1, I told to myself that solo leveling was shit and overrated af.
After watching a few episodes of season 2, nothing felt right. I thought to myself maybe it's cuz I've read the manhwa, or
...
maybe the series was actually bad both in anime and manhwa. I cursed this series and was I was basically one of the biggest Solo Leveling haters out there.
Oh boy, then when I decided to read the manhwa again after watching S2 Ep 5 (cuz of nostalgia), I was wrong...
It turned out I didn't hate Solo Leveling, but the adaptation itself.
I decided to read a couple of chapters cuz of nostalgia, but when I knew it, I read the whole thing to the end...
The manhwa was a masterpiece, I was shocked that Jinwoo looked and acted soo much better in the manhwa as well as other characters. The manhwa had a charm that the anime didn't. Heck, Jinwoo had soo much aura in the manhwa I felt goosebumps. I didn't felt this way when watching the anime.
I am no longer a solo leveling hater, but a hater of a ruined anime adaptation. This is my opinion, of course it seems other people don't think this way, and I am glad they enjoyed the adaptation, lucky them.
I will continue to watch the anime cuz who knows, it might give me the feels when reading the manhwa.
Overall the series was 9/10
The adaptation was an ok 6/10
