Still attempting to hide his true rank, the fact that Sung Jinwoo has been managing to survive after so many attempts at his life as well as saving others, has made him the target and suspicion of many, including the heads of several guilds. The storyline of Jeju Island with the ants is eerily reminiscent of the Hunter X Hunter Chimera Ant Arc. I agree with another review pointing out that the series overall moves pretty fast, but this volume was like lightning fast.

Liu Zhigang Liu Zhigang ( Korean: 류즈캉; RR: Ryu Jeu-kang) is the strongest hunter in China and one of the five National Level Hunters, ranking 2nd in the world. In this volume, he seems to have it back, and even addresses his own level of focus to attain his goal. Although she survives the double dungeon alongside Jinwoo, she is left shell-shocked by the experience and ultimately retires after failing to overcome the mental trauma she suffered from the incident.Initially reluctant to comply because of the quest's rigor, Jin-Woo soon finds that it may just transform him into one of the world's most fearsome Hunters. Characters [ edit ] Sung Jin-woo Voiced by: Taito Ban [7] Sung Jin-woo ( Korean: 성진우; RR: Seong Jin-u) is the main protagonist of the series. My excitement never goes down and even the political parts in the book stay interesting while being connected to the story. A webtoon adaptation of Solo Leveling was first serialized in KakaoPage on March 4, 2018; it was illustrated by Jang Sung-rak (aka Dubu), the CEO of Redice Studio, who died on July 23, 2022, after suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage. Go Gun-hee Voiced by: Banjō Ginga [7] Go Gunhee ( Korean: 고건희; RR: Gu Geon-hui) was a Korean S-Rank Hunter and the Chairman of the Korean Hunters' Association, the government agency responsible for overseeing all the hunters, gates, and guilds active within Korea.

A K-Drama adaptation is in development and spinoff webtoon titled Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is set to premiere in 2024. I'm not sure if I'll read on, the story has lost sense and it takes too much time to wait and see what happens next. As a result, they have a cruel disregard for life and are generally very arrogant towards those they find inferior to themselves, especially humans. Sung Su-ho, the son of Sung Jing-woo and Cha Hae-in, inherited his father's powers as the Shadow Monarch. I loooooooved the training part of all the S rank people, of course I have a soft spot for the Koreans.It seems that to free the planet from the Dungeons and the Monsters, defeating the 12 Monarchs is necessary. Although Il-Hwan ultimately succeeded in his mission, he ended up exerting far more power than his body could handle in his last battle with the Monarchs and consequently died afterwards in his son's arms, with Jinwoo unable to do anything to save him. To combat these vile beasts, ordinary people received superhuman powers and became known as " Hunters.

Even though I know what’s going to happen, reading the light novels gives you so much more information. Meanwhile there is a Hunter convention happening in America where Jinwoo will have to get together with other Hunters. The ant magic beasts that laid waste to Jeju Island are looking to relocate, and if they reach the mainland, all of Korea could fall. Jinwoo has finally defeated the 100 level dungeon, and obtained the medicine needed to revive his mother, who has been comatose for years.The way the pages are turned was reversed in the previous volume after it was reversed in he issue before that. Siddharth Bachchan Siddharth Bachchan ( Korean: 싯다르트 밧찬; RR: Sitdareuteu Batchan) is the strongest hunter in India and one of the five National Level Hunters, ranking 4th in the world. I love that this was added as it gives the reader a taste of the drama and hardship that our main character is going to have to face.

After spending eons fighting in the ancient war between the Rulers and the Monarchs, Ashborn grew weary of the ceaseless violence, leading him to eventually chose Jinwoo as his host in hopes of ending the bloodshed once and for all. With this being a visual medium, that one large panel could have been split into two to show a before and after of the event.The pain and struggle of what happened to him in the dungeon haunt him and push him to work harder and raise his level. Queen and poses a threat to humanity, there have been reports of ants attacking humans, the queen starts making strong soldier ants to do her bidding…. This one is all set-up and asides as the hero spends half the book ripping through a practice run in a demon tower and then a boatload of new characters join pretty much every character who has ever been in the series in preparation for an assault on the island of monstrous ants that has been shown here and there throughout the previous volumes. Most of this volume has all the S rank heroes from both Korea and Japan coming together to test each other.
