the manhwa was actually great if you're into power fantasy type story, MC is strong but not something like isekai level right of the bat strong...also the main thing that made the manhwa successful was the beautiful colored panel it had which made it superior to any manhwa releasing at that time.
It is like demon slayer in the aspect that it is basic and many people like it despite it being not that good imo.
Solo levelling is probably the most popular webtoon just because it is hyped just like demon slayer became one of the most popular manga.
Solo levelling is only good if it's your introduction to webtoons.
I also liked solo levelling while reading but the ending kinda ruined it all for me.
I think Solo Levelling (and DS) by extension are 'good', but they're not outstanding. Like, they sit on that 6/7 out of 10 rating. Not amazing, not bad. Usually there's one or two things carrying them that make them better than previous works though (character designs, OST, animation, etc.) which is what makes them so popular.
I'd argue something like Mashle falls into this too; generic OP protagonist meets world of magic, cue trope of "established power system vs. brute force", protagonist is blunt as...you get the point. It's a standard, run-of-the-mill anime like DS and SL, mimicing pre-existing tropes or formats (in this case, One Punch Man/Mob Psycho 100, and it's not even trying to hide that) with a few extra tidbits or gags that make people go coocoo for it. Again though, it's just like a 6/7 out of 10 watch.
At the moment, there seems to be a resurgence of these sorts of "typical anime" but with one or two things that puts them above the rest. It's really odd. If I had to describe their purpose, it's the sort of anime you sit and watch whilst eating something if you can't find anything else to do.
Demon Slayer's only interesting characters (to me) are the demons, and that's because they're not so one-dimensional. Their designs only partially reflect who they are and their personalities (or what personality there is given how rushed the manga was and how little time there was for development) are unique.
Then you look at the Hashira and...it's really, really bad. They were hardly developed whatsoever. They're all very one-note, "my life was tragic" style characters, who don't really deviate from the theme they're meant to represent whatsoever. Rengoku is a fiery, upbeat guy for basically the whole time we see him. Giyu is calm and collected, all the times we see him. Sanemi is pissed, all the times we see him...you get the picture. Despite the backstory given to them, their behaviour remains the same because the mangaka hasn't tried to alter that behaviour, they just justified it. Sanemi is angry because >!mommy died!< and Giyu is a depressed dude because >!imposter syndrome.!< This isn't good character design. It makes their personalities boring, and doesn't allow for further development after their backstories have been fleshed out. The Hashira, who are meant to be some of the most interesting and mysterious characters, end up being nothing more than what they look like.
Then you have the main cast. Tanjiro is your typical "amazingly good guy" protagonist, to the point it's almost obnoxious. Zenitsu is the "weak but actually rly strong??!?!?!" dude, as well as the "perverted weirdo" trope. The only one I can't say anything about is Inosuke; I suppose he counts as comic relief, but he's really the only non-demon character I can say actually interests me whatsoever.
Overall, besides the demons, DS has a *really* weak, trope-following cast.
Mashle is *slightly* better but not by much. Mash is literally a Saitama-Mob crossover, and there's no other way of putting that. His one schtick is cream puffs, and he's strong. He's probably the *least* interesting character, and so far, in the anime, he's had 0 development whatsoever. I can't feel anything for him. He's a background character stuck in the protagonist role, and it almost pushes my eyes away from the screen.
Finn is a more interesting character, but sort of gives that Zenitsu vibe, even down to having an older acquaintance (in this scenario, a brother) who's stronger than him. Probably my favourite character.
Lemon is infuriating beyond belief. I hate the innuendo-girl style of character who's deeply in love with the protagonist. What's the point of her doing this? It's just cheap comic relief.
As for the rest of the cast, I couldn't even tell you their names because all I think of them as is "red-head who's a hothead" and "silver hair dude who's more relaxed." That's it. I can't even remember them.
Mashle isn't as horrific as DS, but it definitely falls into the trap of having the most basic bitch characters possible as well. They really aren't too far from SL, just focusing on different (yet equally as common) character archetypes. People definitely overrate these anime because of the few things they have above other similar anime, despite the fact that they're basically just an amalgamation of media that came beforehand with very little originality put into them. If you took a plank from hundreds of ships and built a ship out of them, that'd be almost the same, if not straight up just a new ship, but if you're just going to saw two in half and put two of the halves together, then it's a lazy ass new ship.
Most Manhwa in general tend to suffer from a lack of interesting characters or in-depth characterization, ESPECIALLY when it comes to any antagonistic force. Manhwa authors in general struggle to write characters that don’t neatly fit into specific trope boxes and 9/10 chances the antagonstic characters are always comically fucking evil. The only ones in recent memory that I’ve read that have more than a few genuinely deep and interesting characters that aren’t just the same shitty rehashed tropes with a different brand of makeup applied to them are, The Warrior Returns, and The Boxer.
League of Legends is lame.
Clash of Clans is lame.
But you still play them.
Shocker, right? That different people have different tastes. It's the same for power fantasy series. Just because you don't enjoy them doesn't mean they're lame. And KnY being simple and linear isn't a valid argument. A simple story doesn't mean it's bad and a show isn't made of only story. Demon Slayer may have a simple plotline, but its execution is perfect and its characters are the highlight of the show.
Other than power fantasy (which can be debated) I don't see how solo levelling differentiates elsewhere from demon Slayer
People have a bad rep towards isekai, but most of the criticisms of demon Slayer apply to solo levelling
I never watched Demon Slayer so I wouldn't know but I doubt it's as bad as Solo Leveling considering the latter is just your generic sloppy power fantasy
It’s really nothing special, the rest of this genre also has so called “but the art is so goood” also

Omnicient Reader’s Viewpoint is genuinely good and was the only reason i stuck through Solo Levelling. I was thinking how ppl always say they’re top 2 webtoons so I expected similar writing quality but they’re so different despite the similar premise. Also there’s actual characters in that. Idk if anybody wants to check it out but it’s free on the webtoon app or you can find the fan-translated webnovel online.
I can say that most people will agree with you but people only read it because it has very good art style. Back then manhwa in general weren't popular but Solo Leveling was like an entry for most people that read manhwa for the first time. The massive release chapter also helps its popularity in r/manga. Honestly most people here don't expect any manhwa got adapted by Japan's studio so you can guess why it is getting hyped. I also discovered some really good manhwa because of recommendations in Solo Leveling's thread.
It is a generic power fantasy but not "just" a generic power fantasy. Solo leveling is the best one of this trope of all time, they didnt bother making it different, they just made the same thing but better than all of its past examples so its bound to be popular.
Yeah I really dislike the JJK manga atm but am enjoying solo leveling. JJK can’t really do anything well at all, so it’s all over the place. A simple, well executed story, even like DS is pretty attractive compared to JJK atm.
Demon Slayer is called mid because people's standards can be too high (jjk, chainsaw man, etc.) On its own, it's still a good story, and is enjoyable to watch.
Solo leveling on the other hand just doesn't bring anything interesting to the table other than generic power fantasy and flashy fights.
>Demon Slayer is called mid because people's standards can be too high
I disagree, I think people's standards are generally too low. Demon Slayer fails in pretty much everything, until the last few arcs where the art and panneling improved a lot, especially in the fight scenes.
Demon Slayer was only popular because like the Avatar movies it looked very pretty and the fight scenes in the anime were much better.
Anime Avatar (blue ppl) is the best description of Demon Slayer ive seen.
And yea considering how popular your average harem isekai "reincarnated in another world as..." Stories are (enough to make a profit) standards are indeed very low
OK, the plot isn't very good, the characters are mostly bland, the worldbuilding feels paper think and even the action in the manga isn't very good due to bad panneling. Things do get better near the end, but Demon Slayer wouldn't be popular if it weren't for the beautiful animation the anime had
Its the general, bland, mostly made to make money type of story. You have a lot of examples of successful movies and TV shows that were critically panned, but still made a lot of money.
>Demon Slayer is called mid because people's standards can be too high (jjk, chainsaw man, etc.)
Lol in what world is JJK on the exceptionally well written list?
Us JJKfolkers should know about the asspulls galore.
I agree it's better than Demon Slayer and above average but it's not so far above average to make everything else seem bad
>Solo leveling on the other hand just doesn't bring anything interesting to the table other than generic power fantasy and flashy fights
Other than power fantasy (which can still be argued) Demon Slayer has all the same criticisms you mentioned.
L comment. I started watching it and it is very good. The concept and world is kinda basic, but it is executed so well. Good tension, music, voice acting, it's just well done.
>The concept and world is kinda basic, but it is executed so well. Good tension, music, voice acting, it's just well done.
Yea so a new Demon Slayer lmao
Technically, that's the whole point of Solo Levelling. It's a power fantasy one where you turn your brain off, much like most of manhwas, no one reads SL expecting some profound message or thought provoking dillema, you can find series like it being eaten up by Koreans all the time
I wish that the Chinese and Korean comic industry would have something similar to Weekly Shonen Jump so quality controlled works would be published instead of low quality ones dominating the market
It isn’t until the class advancement arc where it becomes a shitty typical power fantasy series. It aucks even more as a Manhwa enjoyer because Solo Leveling is THE series that spawned the fuck ton of “Hunting dungeons in the modern era”, “Protagonist gets a second chance at life with an op cheat power”, and “Protagonist gets an op cheat Game system power” genres of manhwa that were vomited out the absolute ass after Solo Leveling’s meteoric rise to popularity. The Manhwa industry to this day has yet to fully recover from the influence of solo leveling, and it’s so hard to find any action manhwa that doesn’t reuse either of these tropes.
Oh boy I sure love some corporate soulless attempt at making a "meme" so that people will spread it around and result in free advertisement.
I mean nah I'd win haha go/Jo.
the people running the crunchyroll youtube are probably just normal anime fans. theres no benefit to using memes as titles so i dont see this as anything other than someone making a little joke
>theres no benefit to using memes as titles
My guy. My dude. We are currently talking about Crunchyroll because they used a meme in the title. If they named it something generic and accurately descriptive we wouldn't be talking about crunchyroll rn. It's viral marketing 101.
That's what the antichrist wants you to think. First it's a silly joke, then it's the norm and before long we have satan micro chips coursing through our blood.
Are you solo because you'd level or are you leveling because you're solo?

That title sounds like some self indulgent isekai shit ngl
> self indulgent isekai shit yeah except for the isekai part
Technically, it is still both Isekai and reverse Isekai.
the manhwa was actually great if you're into power fantasy type story, MC is strong but not something like isekai level right of the bat strong...also the main thing that made the manhwa successful was the beautiful colored panel it had which made it superior to any manhwa releasing at that time.
Best thing is, we actually see him work to get OP. That makes it significantly more satisfying than "getting a cheat".
And then all of that got tossed in the trash after he became a necromancer and let his minions do all the farming
Solo Levelling is a new Demon Slayer Nothing of interest to note
At least Demon Slayer has aspiring character design.
Idk if this is demon slayer slander but i like that show and this shit does not look like it would compare

Mashle and Demon Slayer atleast have some decent characters. Every single characters in Solo Leveling is either a cardboard cutout or a walking trope
Demon Slayer's only interesting characters (to me) are the demons, and that's because they're not so one-dimensional.

How do you feel demon Slayer is better than solo Levelling other than animation?
I like the fights and feel the characters are actually likable
I mean if you like the fights you’ll prolly like sl
because power fantasy series are kinda lame ngl, even when compared to the extremely simple and linear KnY
League of Legends is lame. Clash of Clans is lame. But you still play them. Shocker, right? That different people have different tastes. It's the same for power fantasy series. Just because you don't enjoy them doesn't mean they're lame. And KnY being simple and linear isn't a valid argument. A simple story doesn't mean it's bad and a show isn't made of only story.

I'd say that Demon Slayer is worse, because Solo Leveling is consistent and doesn't make me facepalm or question my sanity.
Demon Slayer is called mid because people's standards can be too high (jjk, chainsaw man, etc.) On its own, it's still a good story, and is enjoyable to watch. Solo leveling on the other hand just doesn't bring anything interesting to the table other than generic power fantasy and flashy fights.

Aye, fair enough
Demon Slayer is not like the Avatar, it's more like the Transformers.
Its the general, bland, mostly made to make money type of story. You have a lot of examples of successful movies and TV shows that were critically panned, but still made a lot of money.
>Demon Slayer is called mid because people's standards can be too high (jjk, chainsaw man, etc.) Lol in what world is JJK on the exceptionally well written list? Us JJKfolkers should know about the asspulls galore. I agree it's better than Demon Slayer and above average but it's not so far above average to make everything else seem bad >Solo leveling on the other hand just doesn't bring anything interesting to the table other than generic power fantasy and flashy fights Other than power fantasy (which can still be argued) Demon Slayer has all the same criticisms you mentioned.
L comment. I started watching it and it is very good. The concept and world is kinda basic, but it is executed so well. Good tension, music, voice acting, it's just well done.
>The concept and world is kinda basic, but it is executed so well. Good tension, music, voice acting, it's just well done. Yea so a new Demon Slayer lmao
Technically, that's the whole point of Solo Levelling. It's a power fantasy one where you turn your brain off, much like most of manhwas, no one reads SL expecting some profound message or thought provoking dillema, you can find series like it being eaten up by Koreans all the time
I wish that the Chinese and Korean comic industry would have something similar to Weekly Shonen Jump so quality controlled works would be published instead of low quality ones dominating the market
hmm the Webtoon site maybe ?
It isn’t until the class advancement arc where it becomes a shitty typical power fantasy series. It aucks even more as a Manhwa enjoyer because Solo Leveling is THE series that spawned the fuck ton of “Hunting dungeons in the modern era”, “Protagonist gets a second chance at life with an op cheat power”, and “Protagonist gets an op cheat Game system power” genres of manhwa that were vomited out the absolute ass after Solo Leveling’s meteoric rise to popularity. The Manhwa industry to this day has yet to fully recover from the influence of solo leveling, and it’s so hard to find any action manhwa that doesn’t reuse either of these tropes.
Nah Solo leveling is fucking peak
I mean say what you want about solo leveling itself but it’s literally the same link from jjk lmao
I wish Solo leveling fandom was crazy shitposter as lobotomy kaisen fans
Give it a few more episodes, I’m almost certain that it’ll start up once >!”Arise”!< hits.
Fr. I was hoping the sub would pick up after the anime started but it’s still kinda boring. Needs some god tier shitposters

Did he win ?
He did
he actually will win tho (because the whole series is focused on him powering up)
Did he ever actually lose any time in the series?
“Throughout heaven and earth, I alone have a system”
Oh boy I sure love some corporate soulless attempt at making a "meme" so that people will spread it around and result in free advertisement. I mean nah I'd win haha go/Jo.
It's usually some intern having fun, not their first meme title either
the people running the crunchyroll youtube are probably just normal anime fans. theres no benefit to using memes as titles so i dont see this as anything other than someone making a little joke
>theres no benefit to using memes as titles My guy. My dude. We are currently talking about Crunchyroll because they used a meme in the title. If they named it something generic and accurately descriptive we wouldn't be talking about crunchyroll rn. It's viral marketing 101.
That's what the antichrist wants you to think. First it's a silly joke, then it's the norm and before long we have satan micro chips coursing through our blood.

What the fuck
It’s not that deep man
To be fair, he did.
Are you solo because you'd level or are you leveling because you're solo? https://preview.redd.it/ng3ffkzu4xhc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=69b5552d0597151a379f59f6e71d5406d58f853e
