It Deserves Hype
Solo Leveling, or I Level Up Alone is a colored manhwa, which has been publishing since March the 4th, 2018. And according to the story development, there is more than enough material for 2 more years, but this is only my assumption, of course. Anyways, on to the story, 10 years ago, a number of "Gates" appeared in the world. Along with the appearance of the gates, some people went through an awakening that gave them the power that exceeded human capabilities. ‘The awakened’ now have the goal to hunt monsters in the dungeons: some do it to earn a fortune, form a guild, some, however, only enjoy killing and do not see any reason in amassing their fortunes. Be that as it may, you can only be awakened once, after that your abilities are assessed and you get E, D, C, B, A and S ranks respectively. Training can enhance your skills, but as an E rank the probability of you becoming S rank is 0.0000001. Among the awakened, there is a legend that the awakened can be awakened again, they become reawakened, which gives them the power unimaginable. All the dungeons that the gates opened are assessed, too: there are E, D, C, B, A and S rank dungeons. (S rank dungeons are so difficult that even a group of S rank reawakened will probably fail to clear). Solo Leveling focuses on the weakest E rank hunter, Sung Jin-Woo, the world has ever known. He is not lazy, he tries to become stronger, however, nothing will ever help you to become stronger, if you are awakened as the weakest E rank. But he needs this miracle the most, he needs the power, but will he get it? Solo Leveling focuses on the most epic journey to the power of someone, who deserves it the most.

Interesting Storyline
Why is it interesting? There is one simple criterion I follow, when assessing a story: how predictable it is. Would you want to watch something long, would you want to read 110, or more chapters, when you already know how the said series/manga/whatever is going to end? The answer is no. Solo Leveling might sound generic; a world of superhumans and dungeons, who clear these dungeons to get money and power. Long story short, everything about Solo Leveling reminds you of any MMORPG you might have already played. However, it is not generic, Solo Leveling has never been generic and cliché, so far. It uses your cliché world of MMORPG games, but it changes it so much that it is very difficult to call it ‘cliché’. Of course, I am not going to give you a deeper analysis of anything about the storyline for very obvious reasons, but all I can say is that the world of Solo Leveling is special, there are many questions that you might think about, when reading the manhwa. So, long story short, what I am trying to say is that after reading 110 chapters, there are still many questions that the storyline has not yet touched upon and what is more you will never, I will repeat it one more time, you will never guess the right answer for these questions. The world of Solo Leveling is tremendous, beautiful and very dark.

It Is Beautiful
It took me only one day to marathon 110 chapters and it is not because of the fact that it is bad, Solo Leveling is one of these manhwa that is so good that you cannot stop reading; it is so good that you feel goosebumps all over your body; it is that cool. In these 110 chapters, the protagonist of the manhwa experienced just a little bit of everything, literally everything, the main protagonist changes so much from what he is in the 1st chapter and what he is the latest chapters. But enough of that, when reading manhwa, manga, or manhua, the first thing you ever pay attention to is, of course, the drawing. It might sound weird what I am going to say, but when reading Solo Leveling you feel like you are watching an anime; something made by ufotable, let us say. Solo Leveling is a colored manhwa and the art is just so well-made that it is more than obvious that the team that made the art for this manhwa is ingenious, the colors, character designs, everything, it just looks so awesome that you cannot simply stop reading because of how epic it is.

All in all, I have never read a manga/manhwa/manhua that felt just so epic to watch. Solo Leveling is the manhwa that thinks about the reader: you will never feel bored, when reading it. When reading Solo Leveling, you either are reading something so epic that you simply cannot feel bored, or you might be thinking about the world of Solo Leveling, because there are quite enough things to analyze about the world of the said manhwa; there are just so many things going on, you will never have the time to be bored. It is worth your time, go read it right now.
