For the OGSolo Levelingmanhwa fans, it’s quite exciting to see that the anime adaptation is finally getting its due recognition now that Season 2 ofSolo Levelingis airing; and it’s already a banger! With the original manhwa, written by Chugong, already being popular, it was only a matter of time before the anime got the attention it deserved.
Its massive following had been waiting for this moment, and it is exciting to see how the anime will bring this story to life. WhileSolo Levelingis indeed another story with an overpowered main character, the difference is still there in the game it plays and keeps viewers hooked. But what makes it so special, and how does it sustain its popularity anyway?
Sung Jinwoo is the cooler version of Saitama!
Sung Jinwoo’s character can even be said to “defy” the generic strong protagonist trope, and that’s because his journey to becoming stronger is expertly woven into the narrative.As Jinwoo grows in power, it’s addicting to watch, and the theme of self-improvement is also executed flawlessly.

What is unique aboutSolo Levelingis its nuanced depiction of an overpowered main character. Jinwoo isn’t invincible, and he also faces challenges in battles, which makes his story all the more believable and interesting. That is what makes it one of the most enjoyable stories with an OP MC.
In fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to say, that Jinwoo’s character arc mirrors the early training period of Saitama inOne Punch Manwho later became overwhelmingly powerful just like how Sung Jinwoo is trying to become. Even when viewers know Jinwoo will win, the narrative manages to keep people interested in how he grows and develops.
The power-scaling system ofSolo Levelingfurther makes Sung Jinwoo OP
The power-scaling system inSolo Levelingis actually a masterclass in making a truly engaging world. The story integrates “awakeners” and ranking systems to present a sense of structure and progression as if it is a Video Game, so it is easy to understand the bounds and limitations of Jinwoo’s abilities. This system has also cleverly justified Jinwoo’s rapid growth,making him ascend to the OP statusthrough earned rather than forced means.

The power-scaling system continues to evolveas Jinwoo rises through the ranks, with new challenges and threats that put his abilities to the test. Thus, Jinwoo’s OP status never becomes stuck in place, and the reader is always left wondering how he’ll get out of the next hurdle. This power-scaling system expertly weaves into the narrative, which gives depth and complexity to Jinwoo’s character and the world ofSolo Leveling.
TheSolo Levelinganime is available to watch onCrunchyroll.
