Wassup. I’m just gonna say this. It’s a pet peeve of mine when I read stories on here or anywhere, hell even anime or other forms of media.
I absolutely hate power fantasies. When the main character grows uber powerful and gets a harem of women and a few of them look like little girls. That’s literally just most Isekai. I’M LOOKING AT YOU SAO. And system based things are boring as hell, sure there’s some that nail it. And then there are those that don’t.
I’m gonna get crucified for this.
Solo Leveling is boringly mid because of these things. Yeah, it has a good animation. But goddamn the MC gets way too powerful in just 25 episodes and has a counter to everything basically. There’s basically no stakes for some fights, because the system holds his hand. Now don’t get me wrong, I love Solo Leveling, I love it enough to point out its flaws. And it also has a poor power system. Also, skill based powers in webtoons, boring. I want actual magic being shown instead of “Skill Activation” which is just UGHHHHH SO DAMN BORING.
Alright, thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
