Title: I Alone Level-Up (Solo Leveling)
Type: Korean Novel
Author: Chu-Gong
Chapters: 270
Description:
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. They are known as "Hunters".
However, not all Hunters are powerful.
My name is Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter. I'm someone who has to risk his life in the lowliest of dungeons, the "World's Weakest". 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. Changing from the weakest Hunter to the strongest S-rank Hunter!
Thoughts:
I don't know if I have mentioned it, but I like OP characters, and MC is very OP. I also don't know if I have mentioned it, but I don't like harems, and he has no harem!
What more can I say? Just those two up above made me like it alot.
Most would probably dislike this as MC is your average OP main character that (from what I remember) was the only one who experienced character development, however despite the fact that it does not have a unique plot nor was it the best, I still enjoyed it.
There are many people who didn't like the ending, and tbh I didn't too. However I reread it and felt it really was the better choice. Atleast the extras made the ending kinda more satisfying (?).
Anyways, as everyone knows, the manhwa's art is top tier (it's called Solo Leveling.) MC looks very handsome, like holy shit! The hair and the eyes are wow. I really love the combination of black hair and blue eyes. Zaddey.
Too bad it was rushed due to complications (rip illustrator)
There would also be an upcoming anime adaption! However, from what I heard, the setting changes from Korea to Japan, which means the entire plot would have to change and shit.
So yeah! Try it!
