Solo Leveling, Vol. 1 (light novel) (Solo Leveling (Novel))

Product Information

Only I Level Up: Solo Levelingkeeps your interest with each new turn it takes in its development. Early in that development was a question of Sung Jin Woo (the protagonist) developing a ruthless personality towards other humans or not. Second Life Rankertakes the weakest-to-strongest OP character and leans into that "ruthless towards others" dynamic while sowing hints of a kinder nature buried deep within the protagonist's vengeance. The very question of what humanity the protagonist will retain while overwhelmingly progressing towards his goal of retribution is what keeps me interested in this story.

In a world where hunters —human warriors who possess supernatural abilities — must battle deadly monsters to protect mankind from certain annihilation, a notoriously weak hunter named Sung Jinwoo finds himself in a seemingly endless struggle for survival. One day, after narrowly surviving an overwhelmingly powerful double dungeon that nearly wipes out his entire party, a mysterious program called the System chooses him as its sole player and in turn, gives him the extremely rare ability to level up in strength and turn anyone he kills into a loyal minion called a shadow. Jinwoo then sets out on a journey as he fights against all kinds of enemies, both man and monster, to discover the secrets of the dungeons and the true source of his powers.

I know some people enjoyed it, but the added sound effects of the narrator took me out of the story, so much so I ended up buying the ebook to read instead, I know some people liked the audiobook version but it wasn't for me, personally. I also do recommend reading the manhwa first as well. Solo Leveling, Vol. 4 (comic)". Yen Press. Archived from the original on April 4, 2023 . Retrieved May 15, 2022. Solo Leveling, Vol. 1 (comic)".

Jinwoo, the main character, is like a cross of Deku and Lelouch in my opinion. I liked the video game aspects of this book, like dungeons, raids, abilities, etc. The stats and other features were cool! In fact, literally every character had no distinguishable trait or personality. They all seemed to exist to be in awe of the great Sung Jin Woo, especially the women. Oh my god. The women were atrocious in this story and had virtually no personality except to blush and look longingly at the MC. One of the more important female characters is literally only identifiable for three things, 1. She's pretty and high-ranked. 2. She has a sensitive nose. 3. She likes the MC. Why does she like the MC? Oh, because he saved her multiple times when she was a helpless damsel and because he doesn't smell bad.

The narrator, Ki Hong Lee, is Korean-American so there’s also no worry about having to suffer through badly pronounced Korean. Jinwoo is pretty much the worst hunter ever. He's the lowest rank and he has no money. His future has always seemed rather bleak, but it gets even bleaker after he enters a dangerous dungeon. The dungeon ends up being deadly, and he's abandoned by the other hunters. As he's facing death, something happens...

Solo Leveling takes place in an alt-universe modern-day South Korea, where magical portals leading to “dungeons” filled with malicious monsters that threaten humanity. Simultaneously, certain humans have been awakened as Hunters, people with the magical abilities to kill these monsters. Hunters come in various classes, and of various power levels that cannot be changed (cue entrance of our protag). Built around this are various international Guilds and government-funded Hunter Associations to handle these portals. All in all, think the classic RPG video game elements and you’ll have a pretty solid idea of the worldbuilding. Lazic, Tamara (January 10, 2023).

I remember staying up until like 4am to read the manhwa when I had really originally wanted to read maybe the first 5 of 179 (beautifully drawn) chapters but I digress. Is this original? Nope. Does it do anything new that hasn't been done in isekai type anime/LNs? Nope. But it does it extremely well. I liked that this delved more into the world and covers more stuff compared to the manhwa.
