Mi piace come si sta sviluppando tutta la storia. C'è molta più azione e caratterizzazione dei personaggi che piano piano si stanno affacciando in questo mondo. Interessante il fatto che il nostro protagonista sia un avatar controllato dal sistema, e che perda qualcosa ogni volta si trovi davanti l'obiettivo della sete di sangue.
Adoro questo manhwa.

Solo leveling is an amazing Korean manhwa that I have had on constant pre-order since I read the first volume. With full color artwork and incredible detail and plot, I am always looking forwards to the next volume.
V1 starts off with a prologue that gives us a little taste of what we should expect to happen during our inciting incident. 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.
With dungeon portals appearing in modern day Korea, hunters of different ranks and skills dive in for riches and power. The main character Sung Jinwoo, is known as a low rank hunter/weakest hunter. He struggles with covering his mother's hospital bills, his sister's school tuition, and his own survival. This volume focuses on what happens when he enters a dungeon above his level in hopes of better pay, only for the dungeon's level to increase even further than anyone had expected.
V2 is a continuation of V1. Sung Jinwoo is learning about his new abilities as well as what these abilities can do for him . . . to him. The pain and struggle of what happened to him in the dungeon haunt him and push him to work harder and raise his level. He strives to become stronger for not only himself, but for his family. Meanwhile, he is also attempting to keep his newfound strength and abilities from those who might wish to use him for their own. But he also struggles to keep himself out of trouble from those who think he's still as weak as he once was. Which brings up some interesting scenes.
V3 brings in more world building as well as gives Sung Jinwoo a few blast from the past moments as his former teammates from the dungeon incident in V1 team up to take on a dungeon he's also volunteered to enter. After some exciting incidents I'd rather not spoil, he gets to have a heart to heart with one of his old dungeon mates. He is also now under suspicion of hiding his true rank and being investigated by the government. And then we finally get to see what happens when he does not complete his daily tasks. Introducing the "penalty zone" a monster filled zone that he must survival for 4 hours! This volume ends with him receiving a new "job" title.
V4 starts off immediately where V3 left off. Sung Jinwoo receives the "job" shadow monarch, which allows him to make an army of souls of the monster's he's killed. With the more power and abilities he gain's the more enemies he acquires. Jinwoo soon discovers he has the ability to SPEAK with the demons. 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.
V5 Sung Jinwoo attempt to hide his rank by accepting low to average ranked quests. Only for him to appear even more suspicious. And with certain events leading to him being outed as one of the most powerful hunters ever known, he is forced to be re-evaluated. Labeled as the first S-Rank hunter in 2 years.
V6 Sung Jinwoo beings to use his abilities to speak with the demons from the dungeon's on a more personal level. Learning more about demons and the demon's domain's through a demon noble named Isil. This opens up more than just the outside world. Giving the dungeons themselves more lore to follow and more questions to ask. In this volume we are also able to watch as he is finally able to cure his mother from the sickness she had been hospitalized for for so long. Later, due to a threat of demons spilling past dungeons and into the human world, elite S rank's from both Japan and Korea are summoned and gathered to defeat the demons in hiding. I loved watching the Japan vs Korea match up they had to show off their strengths.

Un quinto volume decisamente avvincente.
Anche qui avrei preferito che ci fosse un maggiore distacco tra due eventi che si svolgono all'interno del stesso capitolo, ma quello che mi ha lasciato più interdetto è il fatto che ad un certo punto il protagonista e tutti i sopravvissuti al raid del primo volume si ritrovano ad affrontare un dungeon insieme perché sono stati chiamati.
Il motivo non è chiaro, apparentemente sembra essere un normale raid al quale però partecipano dei criminali, ma il reale motivo della presenza di questi criminali (e quindi della spedizione intera) non c'entra con loro. Non viene affatto spiegata la necessità della loro presenza all'interno dell'evento.
Mi ha disturbato parecchio questo particolare, perché sembra tutta una scusa e una brutta macchinazione per far sì che il protagonista combatta con un altro personaggio forte quanto lui.
Non che lo scontro sia brutto, anzi tutt'altro, fa porgere domande interessanti su ciò in cui il protagonista si sta trasformando e sul fatto se esistono o no altri hunter come lui (perciò da al tutto una nuova sfumatura), ma poteva essere giostrato decisamente meglio, con delle motivazioni più solide.
Mi è piaciuto anche che, finalmente, qualcuno si accorge delle stranezze che avvolgono il protagonista e infatti sono molto curioso di leggere gli sviluppi, però il fatto dell'hunter di grado S che lo sta cercando mi sembra un po' tirato troppo per le lunghe, mi piacerebbe vedere la sottotrama in azione e più presente all'interno della storia.
