And I’m not saying that the manhwa is without its flaws. It’s a simple premise, nothing revolutionary, but it’s executed magnificently Sung Jin-Woo’s journey in his endless pursuit of a stronger power was simply a blast to read. Changing from the weakest Hunter to the strongest S-rank Hunter!” Having no skills whatsoever to display, I barely earned the required money by fighting in low-leveled dungeons… at least until I found a hidden dungeon with the hardest difficulty within the D-rank dungeons! In the end, as I was accepting death, I suddenly received a strange power, a quest log that only I could see, a secret to leveling up that only I know about! If I trained in accordance with my quests and hunted monsters, my level would rise. I'm someone who has to risk his life in the lowliest of dungeons, the 'World's Weakest'. My name is Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter. “10 years ago, after “the Gate” that connected the real world with the monster world opened, some of the ordinary, everyday people received the power to hunt monsters within the Gate. The official blurb from the light novel did a great job of explaining the premise without spoiling anything, so I’ll copy it here: Solo Leveling is a manhwa adaptation-illustrated by Gi So-Ryeong (기소령) and Jang Sung-Rak (장성락)-of a completed series of light novels with the same title that’s written by Chu-Gong. It takes a lot for a manga/manhwa series to blow my mind now, and Solo Leveling accomplished this feat non-stop. I don’t usually post a full-review of a manga/manhwa series I’ve read here, but Solo Leveling demands, at least, a little write-up because my god, everyone needs to bless their eyes and mind with the entertaining experience of reading this. Some of you may already know that I’m a huge fan of manga/manhwa I’ve been reading it since I was a kid, and I will always continue to do so.

I will level (pun fully intended) myself with you this was by far the most badass and engaging LitRPG I’ve ever read.
