>>56413 Id rather stay here for now since its more active

>>56146 >The dude has outright infinite scaling due to the system, Again look at Dragon ball and other shonen, this trope isnt exclusive to SL >he now has to do comparatively little to nothing to quickly surpass everyone else hey speedwatcher, the MC litereally were in near death situations several times it wasnt a walk in the park and rainbows, Jeez, at least put some attention or try to rewatch at 1.25x inteas of 2x >then the power ranking for humans and monsters is fucking retarded since they arent even on the same letter structure WTF the monsters are ranked, several times the characters say: its a (d-c-b-a-s) monter / dungeon. Really did you just watched with your brain in cruise control? >>56607 > (MOONRISE) story and the storytelling SUCKS >It's way better than Solo Leveling tell me you havent watched MOONRISE without telling me you havent watched MOONRISE. I did, all of it. >>56142 >The mc is one of the most bland gary stu type characters I dont think you even know what a gary stu is. Look some episodes of Eminence in Shadow and then come here to bitch about it.

>>35915 Wow, this sounds exactly as bad as I expected something with a title like that to be. I need to tell my fujo friend to stop shilling this shit to me.

As someone who doesn't worship japs or suck their tiny sausages for a living, like the average /a/ browser, I thought the new SL season was great. I literally don't understand the bizarre unbridled hate I see on giga weeb forums for this one anime. I can see why japs don't like it. The main character ISN'T a weak unassertive punk bitch like most japanese protagonist, so they probably can't relate to him as much.

>>58237 The whole thing just seems to be menhera trolling. It's not a very well written series by any means, but it's fairly top tier easily consumable kuso, which is fine enough for me. The anime even manages to do some things better like show the side characters existing more than the comic. Even though they'll never do anything again, it's nice to see them more active and alive. Sadly, the rest of the webcomic is pretty eh, so hard what to expect from the next seasons. The solo guild stuff is pointless. The stuff in america is pointless. The national level hunters are a joke. The final boss is just bad. The resent ending is dissapointing.

>>35628 I only read the webtoon but I think the romance was rushed, barely any cute interactions between the MC and romantic interest.

>>35628 Compelling storytelling is not about "hype moments" and "aura" These can be leveraged to great effect, but they don't work on their own, it's like building a house with no foundation. Solo Leveling writing is very shallow and cartoonish. The MC is a nobody, then through a stroke of luck he abruptly transforms, behavior, voice, even appearance into "le badass" Then everybody regardless of age, sex and personal circumstances rushes to suck his dick. That might be the most debilitating flaw, the MC strikes me as more silly than "cool" Character arcs? Nope Maybe create some suspense by at least trying to pretend that he can't low diff nearly every fight? like, idk, make him lose limbs with some tension about whether or not he can heal it? Maybe establish some sidekick characters to later kill off for some kind of stakes? No. It does not get better. later it turns out that he got his powers as a preparation for his body to be a vessel for a god, then at the end instead of taking the body he says basically 'you know lad, you're doing fine, I'll just fuck off I guess' so even that potential for interesting conflict was entirely wasted In this light fantastic visuals and ost make it only more grating. how the hell did someone decide that this story deserves it?

>>58237 >I can see why japs don't like it. I'm sure they actually like strong and decided MCs, Mahouka for example, although it has some "existentialism" because the author wanted to focus on that.

>>59984 well well well, a post with arguments beyond "gook shit GTFO". Thanks >Compelling storytelling is not about "hype moments" and "aura" >Solo Leveling writing is very shallow and cartoonish. >The MC is a nobody, then through a stroke of luck he abruptly transforms, behavior, voice, even appearance into "le badass" The chosen one is a common trope for shonen and other culture's hero stories. But yeah the radical change of appearance is uncomfortable, but shielded by suspension of disbelief most opf the time. But even the MC and other early acquaintances acknowledges that he changed so much, but then it gets never mentioned again. >Then everybody regardless of age, sex and personal circumstances rushes to suck his dick. When MC starts doing IMPOSSIBRU things, yeah some people come to him, this is also a common trope >That might be the most debilitating flaw, the MC strikes me as more silly than "cool" The MC development mainly relies in his combat abilities, but in many aspects he remains the same, he is still a good kid, devoted to his family and a complete dork with women. He remains humble with his friends but the cruel events of the first double dungeon makes him relentless toward his enemies. >Character arcs? Nope yep, thats a flaw, but considering the deluge of shit quality fillers of other series, I cant decide if this is a flaw or a win. >Maybe create some suspense by at least trying to pretend that he can't low diff nearly every fight? like, idk, make him lose limbs with some tension about whether or not he can heal it? I dont get it, but are you suggesting that he got a "easy time"? He almost get ded several times on breakneck speed fights, its not that he can ask for a pause to pop a health posion >Maybe establish some sidekick characters to later kill off for some kind of stakes? No. This is SOLO leveling, >It does not get better. >[redacted] Hmm I think that part got somewhat resolved, but yeah SL lack many many narrative tools >In this light fantastic visuals and ost make it only more grating. how the hell did someone decide that this story deserves it? I concede that maybe, because of the deluge of shit stories my anime bar has lowered, and Yeah SL has many narrative problems, characters and themes presented, with some real potential, that got forgotten easily. Other problem, so to speak is that Jin Woo is more humane than your average shonen gary stu but not fleshed out enough for readers / watchers that want more besides frantic fights. I member how hordes of children called MC a pussy for crying when he cures his mom, but that really a moment that defines crystal clear who MC is as a person, someone with good family, firm principles that got resposabilities imposed on him way early, before he had time to properly develop and mature as a person, that explains how, while be proficient at dealing with some conflicts, he is a complete dork and / or oblivious to other personal relationship issues. Thats why I say that the story is not shakespear, but is good by anime standards, yeah it has tons of issues that show that the author and /or the adaptation are makings of a writer that was long ways to go to improve his writing capabilities.

>>60139 I won't argue that it shockingly stands out in a bad sense. I will even grant that SL avoids many of the more annoying tropes of jp shounen, like goody two shoes moralfaggotry or crocodileEric.jpg type of humor At the same time it somehow borrows the most annoying isekai trope - gaming mechanics. When your story is not about VR you instantly lose a lot of suspension of disbelief, this shit belongs in Konosuba, not in any kind of action drama, and that's a hill i will die on. It's also more annoying in its own right, like the story rushes through events and power scaling levels with no room to breathe or for fleshing out characters, and again, there's just very little glue that would hold it together or make it minimally compelling. like if you as a writer have the decency to at least try to pretend that your character got better through sweat and tears you slap some basic ass training arc or something. Better yet - make him learn through costly mistakes.

Reminder, Aru is the TRUE hero of the anime.

I hateread all of Solo Leveling and it only gets progressively worse and worse. Beginning is interesting because he actually struggles and works hard to survive. He gets angry, suffers, and has actual emotions. Then after he fights that B hunter Kang Taeshik, he "killed his emotions" and became an emotionless fuck afterwards. This is where it all went downhill. He had no personality anymore and became boring. Things got even worse when he got promoted to S rank. He had zero struggles anymore as this series devolved into mary sue wish fulfillment wankfest. All with a boring MC. And as sidenote, fuck the MC/author for ditching the cute healer girl in the beginning. She cared about him long before anyone else and they dumped her for the S rank slut. I finished reading this and regretted it. I promised to never touch korean kuso ever again.

>>61387 What are you talking about? he literally cries when his mother wakes up.

>>61218 >ONA >Video game adaptation

>>58114 What titles is she recing? I'll judge her tastes. I highly doubt Solo Leveling would be in there because fujos need character personalities and dynamics between them, and the MC just gets paved over by the thing giving him powers while every character he makes connections with can and will be killed off suddenly in the next chapter, so you only have the one dude to work with and maybe a dark god or whatever it is. I couldn't get into it for the life of me.

>>61225 I find it comical >>>/kr/ exists but gooks still have to be parasites here to get any activity at all. Korean media can't survive without being cheap bootlegs of JP media and the posters can't survive without leeching from otaku places. Truly poetic.

I wish the company releasing Id didn't go bankrupt the manwha was much better than the novel

Why is the isekai general on 4/a/ always spammed with webtoons? Why the isekai general of all places?

>>67993 Because gookkuso can't survive without being leeches off superior JP media lmao.

>>35482 >>35915 >>58114 I had time to kill and watched it, skipping through the episodes 10 seconds at a time repeatedly because it was so bad. I've watched some garbage power fantasies before, but this takes the fucking cake. Everyone is fucking retarded so the MC can look smart by comparison, but he's practically retarded as well. He has almost no personality and then loses even that when he gets his power. He also changes his entire appearance and gets fucking taller because overcoming manlet height insecurity is part of the power fantasy. And he does this TWICE, until he looks like a Korean boyband fuccboi. That's the kind of thing you'd expect to happen in a parody that mocks power fantasies. The worldbuilding is shit and everything in the universe exists to suck his dick. This story feels like it was written by an 8 year old. Or like I'm watching some fat retard in his room jacking off while screaming his lungs out about how cool he is. Being the only person in the whole damned world that can actually get stronger is a stupid fucking idea for an entertaining story, and to top that off he gets stronger fairly easily at first and effortlessly later. This is what happens when Koreans make cheap knockoff trash of the already lowest form of Japanese media. The fact that this is one of, if not, the most popular anime to come out of Korea has done more in the past few days to make me believe gooks are subhumans that deserve total extermination than decades of /pol/itical rhetoric ever could. Please excuse the /co/ image, because it's the only anti-Korean image I have, as I could not have given less of a shit about gooks before having watched this repugnant garbage.

>>74304 Why even bait like that on the containment thread that has been dead for 6 months old, probably for some meaningless reason. >Why would the author use something as simple and ingrained in the animal brain as height? Ignoring all coming-to-age histories, the use of body size is common in entertainment, Japanese and Western literature/movies, both for the MC and archenemy. It's a low hanging fruit that comics, and series like James Bond/Golgo over use. In Code Geass the height complex of Lelouch is evident when he fakes Zero's height (canon) because he's the shortest prince. MCs of series like Jojos are clearly biased, Bleach or Mahouka (that influenced SL) have transformations or considerable growth spurt (as near adult/late teenager) as the character's power grows. SL is just another simple battle (not)shounen.

>>74305 Neck yourself, fag. I bet you didn't even use this site before netorarechan went down.

Be realistic, if you apply that criteria to the rest of media then your kvetching would be endless, that is ok, in a way, but why would you even watch or care about it? (rhetoric question) And as for >>74311: irrelevant

>>74312 >if you apply that criteria to the rest of media No, it applies just fine to other things, but you are mentally incapable of using logic. You want me to call you retarded specifically? Fine. >>74305 >Ignoring all coming-to-age histories 'Coming of age' and 'stories', not 'coming to age' and 'histories', you ESL gook. <Instantaneously growing a head taller, twice, is the same as coming of age stories You're fucking retarded and you should kill yourself. >the use of body size is common in entertainment, Japanese and Western literature/movies, both for the MC and archenemy. It's a low hanging fruit that comics, and series like James Bond/Golgo over use. >In Code Geass the height complex of Lelouch is evident when he fakes Zero's height (canon) because he's the shortest prince. MCs of series like Jojos are clearly biased <Body size differences exist for a purpose in some media, therefore instantanously growing a head taller, twice is not comically stupid You're fucking retarded and you should kill yourself. >Bleach or Mahouka (that influenced SL) have transformations He didn't "transform". When he got stronger, his appearance changed inexplicably as if it's natural to get a head taller when putting on muscle, and no one questioned it, not even his fucking sister, besides "he looks kinda a different?" because everyone without exception is completely retarded in this story. >considerable growth spurt <Other characters grow over time, so instantaneously growing a head taller, twice, is not comically stupid, and nobody questioning it makes sense Every word out of your mouth is devoid of reason. You exist in a different mental state below that of people with room tempature IQ. No one with a single iota of rational thought would defend a single aspect of this dumpster fire. You need to go kill yourself right now, after offing the subhumans that spawned you for the net benefit of humanity.

>>74314 SL can 'speak' for itself, meanwhile your kvetching is just an emotional outburst of irrelevancy, really, apply the same meaningless critique you're doing to anything else, this pic >>74304 even, you'll have a lot of fun locked up in your posturing that creates nothing, not even a meaningful critique.

>>74315 >>74316 Bing bong sing song suck my dick, ESL subhuman.

>>74317 >posting like a troll after seeing the least resistance You're gonna post like a troll you'll leave this thread for good. This isn't a containment thread for anti-SK snowflakes.

if you're*

This anon >>74304 has no valid arguments whatsoever, it is all created by his personal feelings, his "criticism" does not have any rational thought behind it, just hurt feelings, much like a woman. Just pure vitriol and seething over it being korean / isekai. The post can be disregarded in it's entirety. You'll find no intelligence behind his post, just woman-like screeching.
