Solo Leveling Anonymous 05/11/2025 (Sun) 22:43:21 No. 141 [Reply]
Hey guys, I've been reading manhwas for years and one of those that I read was Solo Leveling. I know that it has an anime adaptation and I've put off on watching it. But today, I decided to give it a go. And holy shit is it a ride. I'm on the second to last episode of the first season with Jinwoo battling against Igris the bloodred and the battle was INTENSE. Every battle leading up to it was well animated and was a joy to watch. I'm about to start the second season after this. Why does this series get so much hate and ire? It's genuinely well done and well animated and the fights keep your eyes glued to it waiting for the next scenes.

Manhwa General Thread Anonymous 04/21/2025 (Mon) 22:07:06 No. 64 [Reply] >>102>>140
Why don't we have a manhwa general to get the ball rolling on this board? Tell us about what you're reading, any recommendations, so on and so forth. I've recently been reading The Novel's Extra. It's a story about a guy named Kim Hajin who is the author of a novel he wrote and he ends up becoming apart of that Novel one day. Originally he planned to graduate from the Cube and find a way to return back to the real world, but ends up getting attached to the world and the characters he wrote. It is currently on It's third season. I've also been reading Solo Max Level Newbie. It's kinda like Solo Leveling where the MC is strong and everyone around him is a supporter. The story revolves around a tower appearing and humanity must clear all 50 floors of it or face extinction. (Pic related, all 5 images)

>>64 (OP) Just started reading a new series called the legendary hero is an academy honors student and I really like the art and the cute interaction between the MC and his half-sister. She lost and now has to dress up and become his maid as part of a wager between the two.
>>102 Continuing on, MC beats his half-sister an partakes in the academy entrance exams. Looks like he has new rivals now in this entrance exam. The author reveals the existence of Hero Records, a record of a tough battle a hero overcame, which is basically stored in a book as a memory which is used for training purposes and gaining experience and is also where the site of the exam will take place. The objective of the test is to survive by whatever means necessary which includes taking out other examinees and eliminating them it getting them to disqualify themselves, as well as killing the boss monster of that hero record, which is a huge spider that terrorized that forest many centuries ago. Overrall, this is a good start.
>>64 (OP) Reaperscans just died lmao

It's nice seeing some civil conversation instead of the usual seething and falseflags pitting things against each other. Thought I should post just to say I've been lurking, hello. Haven't posted because generally my interest in manhwa doesn't really align with anyone on *chans, I like both guys and women and tend to lean towards comedy and shipping potentials. Same basic bitch dungeon breaks, transmigration, and cheat skills, nothing deep or anything, just not the all action titles that get posted the most. Keep finding series where I much prefer the webnovel to the manhwa too which makes it even harder to find anyone else who knows what you're on about. At best you end up with people on twitter/tumblr who've watched a kdrama adaptation, but it completely gutted the plot and added in TV original characters when the novel had a perfectly good three way relationship to appease all sides. I'm hoping Illusionist Hunter doesn't get a strange adaptation next. They've been pouring a lot into merchandise, promo vids, and events, but nobody's licensed the current manhwa adaptation so a kdrama might end up being the only thing the general internet populace knows it for. Anyway, viva thighs and the tasty triangle.

How did Korean webtoon dominate Japanese anime market while Chinese donghua fails? Anonymous 04/21/2025 (Mon) 02:51:40 No. 2 [Reply] >>74
Japanese anime used to be robust in front of Chinese donghua, but how can they fall so soon and get dominated by solo leveling of Korea so easily? How did Korea conquer Japanese anime market? while Chinese donghua failed to do so?(including arknight) Spite Korea has lower spec than China and has bullshit censorship but How did Korea overcome their feminist censorship and dominate Japanese anime market in ease? Japanese are Super-Hyped about Solo leveling S2 over Japslops and being 1st rank on every Japanese streaming site shows the hype. Solo leveling boom is happening in Japan like Demon slayer, JJK, Bocchi and Frieren. Solo leveling is social phenomenon, and new gen demon slayer. So bandai shall make Solo leveling like DX sung jin woo sword(DX Mizushino blade) (like DX Nichirin), 30 minute preference/High Grade WebToon 1/12 arisen Sung Jin woo(30MP/HGWT 1/12 Kakusei Mizushino Shun) plamodel? It will make lots of money for bandai, since Solo leveling Boom is happening in Japan. Bandai must make solo leveling toy and plamodel just like Demon slayer, JJK, Bocchi.
>how can they fall so soon I blame the hundredth rehash of isekai slop
No one cares about Chink "donghua" slop, which are copies of Korean Manhwas.
>>2 (OP) Maybe calling it something other than "dong" would help.

So this is the undisputed AOTS, right? Anonymous 04/21/2025 (Mon) 03:07:40 No. 10 [Reply] >>16>>58
Nothing comes closer to how good Solo Leveling S2 was.
>>10 (OP) It is in fact, the undisputed AOTS. Regardless of what /a/ says to the contrary,
>>10 (OP) As the only anime discussed on /kr/ it just wins by default, the best kind of winning

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. Anonymous 04/21/2025 (Mon) 03:53:19 No. 22 [Reply] >>29
Why are so many people sleeping on this? People should be reading this instead of trash leveling. It's the kind of story that sneaks up on you and wrecks your expectations in the best way possible. It starts off like your typical “reader gets thrown into their favorite novel” setup, but then it flips the script so hard you’ll be questioning everything. The world-building is simply insane, I have legitimately seen nothing like it in a serialized series, it fucking blows everything out of the water. The foreshadowing is so fucking good, seemingly unimportant details manage to stick in your mind until they are relevant, and then you just have that brain blown moment. The MC is not your usual overpowered protagonist like SL, he’s legit just a guy, a guy who knows the story better than anyone else, and watching him navigate the chaos is ridiculously satisfying. Why do people rather talk about solo leveling?

>>22 (OP) >bait OP kill yourself nigger, there's no need to attract the SL kiddos with shitposting >>24 legitimately how the fuck would you think this? chinkshit is basically dead after the banwave that took down reverend insanity >>27 this, and have you fucking SEEN the SL threads? they are better off not knowing about this kind of thing
>>29 The SL threads only looked the way they did because /a/ has a hateboner for anything Korea and the SL guys stopped talking seriously about SL and just started shitposting about it because it made /a/ mald to hell and back, just look at what making one (1) Solo Leveling thread on /a/ caused lmao, unironic PTSD lmao. It was truly the anime that broke /a/.
>>32 >the SL guys stopped talking seriously about SL and just started shitposting about it because it made /a/ mald to hell and back it was actually a planned pisscord raid, i was part of the manhwa pisscord where it started tho didn't participate on it but yes most of them just did it to piss off /a/, particularly the shounen niggers and guess what? it fucking worked

It’s got that raw, no-holds-barred energy where every panel feels like it’s punching you in the face (in a good way). The MC? Absolute beast. The story? Dark, brutal, and satisfying. If you’re into revenge plots that don’t sugarcoat anything, this masterpiece should be in your backlog. Go read it, or don’t, your loss.
