Solo Leveling | ☆☆☆1/2
Hi! I binged seasons one and two of Solo Leveling last night and I have to give kudos to the animation team that carried the entire story. Solo Leveling has been hyped up for me for a long time, especially in a family who watches anime, but I was surprised when the show kind of fell flat. I LOVE an underdog story and I really loved how Sung Jinwoo powered up throughout season one, but after he became stronger it just kind of...becomes a bit boring plot wise.
Still, I can't deny that the show is addicting. I couldn't stop watching because I loved the amazingly animated fight scenes and it's always really entertaining to see the mc beat up bad guys. It just gets to a point where the bad guys are just there to make Jinwoo look good and the other powerful main/side characters are there to just marvel at Jinwoo's power.
I was watching it with my sibling and he says, "This is just aura leveling."
And oh my GOD, it really is just aura leveling. Everyone is fighting each other's auras and Jinwoo becomes edgier and edgier throughout the anime. Sometimes scenes would feel corny because you know that Jinwoo is going to win, but he starts screaming and yelling about how he'll never lose. Really, the fatal flaw with this anime is that we know he's going to win and become even more ridiculously strong, so his epic comebacks end up feeling a little bit over the top.
just had a feeling throughout the show that Solo Leveling was written by someone who wanted to feel really cool
Still, the world building is VERY interesting. I was confused in the beginning of the show because there were people with medieval armor fighting dungeons, but then it cuts to modern city scenes. The explanation of the gates popping up in random parts of the city is so cool, especially when we learn that the world relies on Hunters to keep them safe.
Then, there's the politics surrounding hunting that really fascinate me. Especially, when a character says that S-rank hunters are pretty much above the law. I literally said, "WHAT?!" out loud. It makes sense because hunting is a relatively young business, but it was shocking nonetheless. I could go more into this, but there's just too much to analyze and not enough room.
In the end, Solo Leveling just felt like a lot of mc dick-stroking and aura maxxing with a smidgen of plot.
Hey, this wasn't me trying to yuck your yum though. People prefer shows where the mc is a total badass and I respect that. Personally, I just prefer a more flawed main character who loses and rises back up. I want to feel and believe the desperation of Sung Jinwoo, but when all he does is win, it's hard to cheer him on.
I'm really enjoying what little plot I'm getting though and I can't wait for Jinwoo to solve the mystery of the "System" keeping him alive and the mysterious monsters that glitch and seem to have a past. Who knows, maybe it'll save the show for me and Solo Leveling will get a higher rating!
Anyways, we left off on a cliffhanger, so I'm excited for the next episode to come out! I have a feeling though that Jinwoo is going to save the day...again...and do it relatively easily...and people are going to stare in awe at him and main characters are going to be reduced to damsels in distress...and so on and so on until the show ends...
We would be infinitely happier if there were more JinDok fics, they are so perfect 🙌✨️
I've already read all the ones I could find, both on Ao3, fanfiction and ficbook 🥺
Do you happen to know of any other sites where I can find fics about them? I would really like to! 🥰
Apparently it's 'bring your S Rank Hunter to work day' and Jinwoo decided it needed to be memorable💀

Summary: Being born as a boy in another world was more than enough trouble to deal with but apparently, the gods weren’t satisfied with just that and smashed him in the face with a curveball by getting involved with none other than Sung Jinwoo, the main character of Solo Leveling.
Prologue
Kiran calmed himself, ‘It should be okay. As long as he didn’t get too involved and only supported him on the sideline. He shouldn’t be able to disrupt the plotline all that much. As long as he leaves once everything is settled.’ While thinking that, Kiran awkwardly patted the crying boy on the head to comfort him.
.
‘This should be fine.’ He thought as he tutored Jinwoo little by little to learn some combat techniques he was taught as a soldier.
Strict and cold, completely different from his usual cheerful and casual personality, E-rank Jinwoo trembled at the vast difference.
He didn’t like this change.
He wants ‘his Kiran’ back, the Kiran who would pat him on the head with warm eyes.
..
‘It wouldn’t hurt to do this once in a while.’ He thought as he cooked a warm meal for the siblings, paying a little more attention to Jinwoo’s favorite dishes to nourish him for his next raid.
Unbeknown to Kiran, this made Jinwoo particularly picky about his favorite food after. If it wasn’t cooked by Kiran, Jinwoo’s tongue could only taste the food as bland.
...
Watching proudly on the side as his little charge finally gets announced as an S-rank to the whole world and gets close to the future Mrs. Sung, Cha hae in.
Kiran thought ‘It’s probably time to leave. They should be fine. He should be fine now.’
Kiran smiled, completely unaware of the longing and heated gaze being given to him by the man whom Kiran stayed with all this time, through thick and thin.
....
Facing the person in front of him, Kiran nonchalantly listened as he sipped his coffee, “Kiran, you should finally join the organization. It’s the only place for ‘us people’ where we could at least belong somewhere in this world.”
When he said ‘us people’, he meant people who have been either reincarnated or transmigrated from their old world and got stranded in this bizarre world of novels.
Since Kiran has finally decided that it's time to leave the siblings now that the Sung’s mother has awoken from ‘the eternal slumber’. Kiran couldn’t help but contemplate the idea of joining, in truth he doesn’t have anywhere else to go once he leaves.
When Kiran stayed silent, lost in a daze, his shadow darkened and shivered severely, unnoticed by him.
.....
Breathing heavily, Kiran wiped the sweat on his chin as he eyed his foe. His eyes dilated and a maniac smile painted on his lips, finally having been released after so long, his blood boiled in his veins telling him to defeat his enemy and to never hold back ever again.
The same intent seems to go through his opponent as they laugh in amusement before covering their face, heaving, and clutching their stomach.
“Hahaha! Forget about what I said earlier. You’re an interesting one.”
They smirked at him before raising a hand, beckoning him. “I like you. Come and join me instead.”
Kiran, having been ready to rebuke the man, flinched at the sudden spike of bloodlust, his opponent paling and the surrounding people.
‘What the-?’
Looking where it came from, Kiran shivered as he stared at Jinwoo, his eyes glowing and filled with so much rage it was hard to breathe.
One thing was running through Kiran’s mind, ‘His opponent just called his death flag for some reason.’
......
Kiran groaned as two strong arms, that were once weak; cage him into the chest of the man behind him. Jinwoo buried his head on his shoulder and angrily whispered behind his ear, eyes burning with fury and turning a dark purple hue.
“All this time, I’ve only gotten stronger so that no one steals something important to me and yet, everyone just wants to take you away from me all the time.”
Kiran, “....”
‘Fuck...’
Just where did Kiran go wrong to have unknowingly raised a yandere, especially since the world he was born in was supposed to be a shounen action manga, not shounen-ai?!
A/n: Please, if it's not too much, comment on what you think of this fic. if I should do it or not.

One gripe I have with genderbent characters is that people change the height. Like no no, keep him freakishly tall. Make those who gaze upon her quiver in their boots. Just because he is now a woman doesn't mean she can't bench you, rip your spine out like she's deboning a trout and turn you into one of her shadow slaves-
Anyway I genderbent Jinwoo because this ramble was brought on by my friend buying a female Jinwoo skin in a game.
She doesn't look much different with my style you can hardly even tell, but I tried.
Most of what I draw is guys anyway...
Also tiddies are not a requirement to be a hunter, if anything, they would get in the way?
Chomp
hey, evil fucked up version of anonyan here.
i dont read the manga but the non evil version of anonyan gets really excited about it and i keep getting dms about you two talking.
keep being great and making them happy.
Also im biting jinwoo.
Lmao reverse anonyan i see xDDD!!! I'm an all rounder, I read shounen/shoujo manhwa, Bl manhua and Murim + historical manhwas xD!! Leave my man alone that's not for you to bite<3
womp
Anonyan! >^.--.^!<
I have a soft spot for guys with cats, and to me I feel like Jinwoo has the vibe of a cat lover.
Stoic, strong, tall guys that could easily break a man's spine over their knee being all soft for this tiny, silly creature, willing to go John Wick if someone hurts the smol. Bonus points if the cat is adopted from a shelter. :]c
Imagine Jinwoo with a black cat and the cat just blending in with his hair, you don't realize there's a cat on top of his head until you see a second pair of eyes looking at you... >^ɯ^♡!
WAIT THAT’S THE CYUTEST THING EVER UEEEEE, HE JUST HAS A LITTLE THING ON HIS HEAD GOING WOMP AAAHHH!
I wish they kept this scene in the manhwa...
"However, when it came to actually putting the necklace on, he couldn't help but to hesitate big time."
"The thing was, it was shaped like a roundish metal choker with spikes spouting out in regular intervals, so no matter what it said on the cover, it was undoubtedly... a dog collar."
I think tumblr would like this, hm?
If you thought Super and fish were insane, here is Horny dog Doge lusting over Jinwoo.
Jinwoo reminds me of a cat so he can be catboyified, I'd say he deserves it :] I feel like I get better at drawing him every time I draw him, I feel embarrassed of my older drawings of the hot guy.
Doge is a real person I've made a character for, by the way.
Me:
Hot guys hot guys turn them into catboys!
I can't argue that they don't look similar...
Continued....
Shenanigans... a lot of shenanigans... Horny jail for fish.
To clarify In the first drawing it's Superbiem and fish On the second it's Me and fish. And the two not marked are Leon and Jolly
Me and Super's characters look quite similar when they aren't colored in.

Jinhyuk really just reminds me of a cat for some reason... Maybe its due to his irises being drawn completely black?
Why is... Jinwoo so tall?
Ough, attractive manhwa men that look awfully similar- You know this was actually really difficult, all the characters on I draw on Sirwhere look pretty much identical. :D
