Introduction
Anime is a form of japanese animated entertainment. These shows usually take inspiration from novels and Mangas, which are written and comic forms of media respectively. Anime is a very profitable and famous industry, which unsurprisingly led other Asian countries to implement their own variations of it, one of these being Manhwa. Manhwa is the manga of South Korea, which is where Chugong created Solo Leveling.

What is Solo Leveling?
Solo Leveling is a Web Novel and an Anime about a world where Hunters- Humans who have awakened supernatural abilities- fight against Monsters that threaten the world with certain destruction. We follow the perspective of Sung Jin Woo, the hunter nicknamed “The Weakest Hunter.” He is a Hunter of the lowest class, and is barely stronger than a normal person. Sung Jin Woo goes to fight monsters because his mother is sick and he needs to pay the medical bills. On one fateful day, Sung Jin Woo goes into a double dungeon where his entire party is slain, including himself. But he is saved by a mysterious program called the System. This System allows him to get more powerful every fight, something no one else can do.

Why is it different from other animes like it?
The setting of a weak main character growing stronger and overtaking the world they live in is quite common among Web Novels of the same genre, so what makes Solo Leveling so special? It is how the story and the characters are developed. The story is developed as a Power Fantasy, this means that the main character is going to be the most powerful and continues to grow stronger as the story goes on. In Solo Leveling this rise in power is very well managed, the rise in challenge makes sense and the power scaling is easy to follow and make sense of. This makes for an engaging story that creates hype through the entire story. The characters are deeply involved in the story in many ways that are kept hidden from even the reader. The characters all have their own personalities and are present in the story, which is uncommon from this kind of story. They are all smart and have their own sense of the world, which is broken by the main character and their shock is very entertaining.

Conclusion
Solo Leveling is an amazing story, and with how incredibly well it is being animated, published, and advertised it is no surprise that it is one of the most watched and liked shows of current Anime media in both the west and east of the world. This show has earned its spot as one of the BEST shows in today’s media and if there is one thing to take away from this article… Watch the show.
