Nope. The monarchs are imba.

End game still struggle with the monarchs.

yup, at first struggling and even got killed, but after got transferred the full power from the Shadow Monarch, he go back to superman mode again. Killed the Beast monarch in 4 hits, then go kill the Frost monarch in dunno how many hits.

Edited: aiya, I forget by the final battle, he become so strong that Iron Body Monarch was killed with his shadow minions

Solo leveling is a good entry to the world for manhwa but once u read enough other better stories, solo leveling is clearly B tier only.

Once it gets to the midpoint of the story, the power creep completely goes out of wreck.

If wanna read manhwa of the same genre, lots of other better titles to read

Yup the final battle with the dragon monarch, he can't win without the rulers' help. That is why he restart everything again when the monarchs are still weak.

Saw two episodes liao nv read the Korean comic.

Can anyone sell what's interesting over the real life isekai fantasy genre with gore? Or is this just sao with gore

Solo leveling is not Isekai, the world is real.
The webtoon is pretty insane in the beginning chapters.

The starting few episodes will show you why.
Unfortunately, the creator wasn't able to keep the intensity and the story development at the level as insane as the beginning chapters. The plot suddenly falls flat midways and becomes predictable. It stayed that way and failed to pique my interest until the end. It is still interesting but not as crazy as I would like it to be.
You will soon understand why it is called "SOLO LEVELING" and why I find it boring later on..

I strongly recommend you guys to read the webtoons for the starting chapters. I find the webtoons portrayed the emotions much better and more intense than the anime. The anime somehow failed to make you to feel the kind of despair, suffering and hopeless that the main character went through when I read the webtoon.

But if want to take about imba mc.

Nothing beats yogiri from My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered. That one is more predictable and a bit anti climax.

Sorry, can explain to me why you guys call it as manhwa?
I thought Korean "manga" is called webtoon.....
China/HK "manga" is called manhwa

Do you have other recommendations?

For me, I happened to stumble into the Chinese anime 凡人修仙传 .
I highly recommend it.
The quality of the animation is very poor but the story and plot is great.
The anime release is very slow and it doesn't follow the novel.. I think when I die it still will not finish
I tried to read the novel but gave up because I realized my mastery of Chinese stopped after secondary school... :s22:
I ended up listening to the audio book, finished all 3 parts.. 7000+ chapters in total
it was really great. One of the best Chinese novels.

it's Korean word for 漫画 aka 만화 (pronounced as Manhwa). Chinese manga will be Manhua (just one alphabet different)

He struggles but in the end, he defeated all the monarch including the dragon monarch. He single handed end the era of hunters. It is kinda suck though in the end. I mean it is great that he defeated all the evil by going back in time but all the hunters gone... He and his son are the only hunters left.

The manga is great in my opinion up to the end of season 1. Season 2 not that great compared to season 1

Nice, I'm watching 凡人 as well. Ok la, the latest season animation quality has improved quite a lot compared to the start.
Thinking whether to start reading the novel though some say that the storyline isn't as interesting after 人界篇.

I felt like an illiterate when I tried reading the novel.
I gave up and ended up searching for the audio book to listen instead.

The anime skips many details which made it very different from the novel.
U have to read the novel to appreciate how good it is.

IMO, I find all 3 parts i.e 人界篇、灵界篇和仙界篇 great.
Of course, there are some slow chapters but the pace picks up pretty quickly then after.

人界篇 itself consists of 2000+ chapters, the author 忘语 narrates and details 韩立's journey and experiences part by part.

Each part consist of several chapters pieced together to form a story (a part of his journey).
There are always new plot twists and fresh ideas. He never repeats an idea or a scheme.
He can introduce some detail which is seemingly insignificant in this chapter but it will turn out to be something unexpectedly important in the many chapters later, and he somehow manages to link them up in a very convincing manner.

The final season, 仙界篇 is great. But sad to say, the ending chapters gets really sloppy and disconnected at times. It felt he have gotten tired of writing 凡人 all these years and lost his mojo and he didn't manage to end the 凡人series in a worthy and satisfactory manner.

凡人 to me was like a mental drug, when I finished the series, I felt lost, and craved for more of something similar. I read his other works, but they failed to deliver the same high feeling I got from reading 凡人.

His ongoing novel, 仙者, is a reboot of 凡人. Enjoyable read but not as great as 凡人

Solo leveling story is nothing really interesting, it's only supported by the magnificent and crazy artwork.
Still enjoy it a lot but many other manhwa with better stories, art not so much. :s13:
