Reviewer Notes:

For those that are new to the world of webcomics, Solo Leveling is the the perfect piece for you to enjoy reading. The linear storyline alongside epic fight scenes in a high-paced manner is enough to keep you on your toes for 200+ chapters of the story. To keep in mind, this manhwa is emphasized around the action and adventure of the MC‘s journey on becoming powerful, so expect less focus on other aspects such as slice of life or romance in the story.
