OPINION WARNING If you can’t handle someone having an opinion about an anime, this video is not for you. I got the country/currency wrong, but my point remains the same, as it translates to 200 million dollars
I'd very much appreciate it if u were more direct. You were negative throughout the whole this, ur opinion is based on malarkey and misinterpretations. Js don't overly form an opinion into a video without understanding what's all going on in the show
It's not the system that changes his personality, it's the things he realizes and experiences as he becomes stronger. Like how when he went into the dungeon with dongsuks party and he saw how easily they could betray, manipulate, and kill, then how the system wanted him to kill them to save himself. It changed his world view, and he understood what was going on. Didn't u pay attention to the whole sequence of events leading up to when he said "I don't even need to be angry to kill trash like you". Then again against the assassin hunter, he saw how deranged people can be which transformed him again. Like I said, pay attention to the plot points and you'll understand the system isn't making him change his personality. He's always been the same except weaker so he couldn't do anything, couldn't truly see the world for what it was up until certain circumstances happened to him, how the experiences along the way influenced him to see the world for what it was. Conniving but also sometimes amazing. Read the manhwa or actually just pay attention to his thoughts and dialogue in the anime. No hate on ur opinion, just saying it's based on misconceptions. If u truly take in solo leveling for what it is instead of judging it without any REAL info, then it's fine, but not when ur shitting on something bc u don't understand it
@KumoBear12 when was tht stated? Like at all, u gotta be confused, the system may kill his emotions after it forces him to kill people so he can live but thts only after he's seen people for what they are and he makes his own decision. Imma need the exact chapter or ep number where u got tht info
@KumoBear12 there's is absolutely nothing wrong with exposition in stories. I've read countless books, manhwa, and watched anime with needless exposition even the anime that you urself said was good. Cough cough demon slayer cough cough
I thought I was wierd for not really jiving with Solo Leveling. I was left so disappointed by S1 after all the hype it has been receiving. Character writing is so underwhelming and characters feel like they have no personality at all. Most of them copy-paste of one another...
Personally, I don't think you cooked with this one. I respect it, though, but you're missing the point of Solo Leveling. (TLDR, at the bottom) The stories main plot isn't Jin Woo saving his mother it's about his journey to the top, his self development, that's like saying HxH should've stopped the moment Gon met Ging, like common bruh, ofc that's not gonna happen, Solo Leveling is about the hype behind LEVELING UP!!! Everything else is secondary. The money he turned down wasn't because he didn't want to save his mom. Saving his mom isn't possible with money. The hospital bills are just bills, not a cure. it's like someone going into a coma, so now that he's Leveling up, and making more money, he dosen't need to jump onto a 30billion train because now he has the ability to make more than that with his system. Jin is more calculated than you think and understands his system a lot more than he actually lets on, but at the same time, it's still a mystery . like where did it come from? Why was he chosen? those are the main plot points of the story even though its not exactly spoken. and at the end of the day, it's a LEVEL UP SYSTEM, until his level caps out, theoretically, his power is infinite. That's what is universally understood between Jin and the watcher/reader. Jin saving his mom is NOT possible right now, so of course he's not gonna stress about it. The bills are paid, and she's still alive. That's all that matters, like any normal person😂. of course, you worry, but Jin hasn't had his mom around and walking for years. When you get used to something, not a lot is gonna change that. Jin winning against Igris was a little down played in the anime than the manhwa, he was reslly getting his butt handed to him in both, but he found out about his equipment system earlier than the fight which helped him in grabbing the sword, because he was wearing gauntlets. I didn't watch that much of the anime so I'm not sure if they actually showed the bit where he was picking up and equipping items, but it was supposed to be pretty early on to the job change. And like you said, Jin abused his system and cleverly used the ability to summon his weapons. That's not an asspull. It's a mechanic. as much as you might hate a guy keeping you in a corner, not allowing you to press buttons on Tekken or something. That shit is in the game, meaning anything goes. you gave his props even though you shat on his whole triumph, sure they might not have reslly showed how much of a struggle that fight was for jin, but it wasn't that Igris was THAT much stronger, it was because Jin dosen't know what the hell he's doing, if he had some martial background thsy fight would've been a lot easier for him, but he fought with a guy with powers he's mever experienced before, who was physically stronger than him, and didn't give no F*CKS period. meaning that dub was EVERYTHING. he won that not because of the plot or some bs, but he won it with wits, by the skin of his teeth! I can understand the complaint about some of the other S ranks talking and whst not, but the anime only scene In the first part isn't not some just world building bs, it's FORESHADOWING a future arc, that's what all the S ranks are talking about is the JeJu island raid, and the clock ticking down IF Jin Woo will be strong enough to Participate and triumph in that area. it'd building a sort of suspense, a... RISING ACTION. Now, as a guy who read the whole story multiple times, if I was watching fresh I'd be thrown off, but not enough to say the show was disappointing because of an anime only scene, people act like those scenes are the devils nut sack😂 TL:DR Solo Leveling is about the grind to the top, the story isn't gonna end at Jin saving his mother, so why would we rush and make every action about doing that? Especially when humans can't even do it by themselves no matter how much money you have. Jin Woo might've gotten the recipe for an elixir, BUT WHERE DO YOU GET THE INGREDIENTS!? This stuff takes time. His mom is not gonna die of anything but old age or UNnatural causes due to her sickness, so why rush to 30 billion knowing it's not gonna help, KNOWING he's now making the money to cover the bills AND. be comfortable? Now, he's just closing his opportunities before they even open. Jin Woo winning his fight with Igris was a struggle and 3 quarters in the Manwha, because I didn't watch the episode. I don't know how they expressed that here in the anime, but shitting on him for using game mechanics is WILD. Now you're just nitpicking; grasping for straws. he quite litterly HAD no other choice, it wasn't plot convenience, it wasn't plot armor, it was a reality check for Jin Woo, which playes into his inner monologe later during the timmer part of the job change, he dosen't think he's good enough, he's trying but he's barely getting by even if he's getting stronger, there's always somone better so he should just quit while he's ahead, he still had his family to look out for. etc. Solo Levelings plot is about Jin Woo's growth, development, the hype of CONTINUOUSLY LEVELING, the mystery behind why he CAN level up, and the uncertainty of his limits.
Sorry I can’t respond to everything cuz you wrote so much lmao but I said him using game mechanics was a good thing, not bad. I liked it. And you say it’s not about saving his mother, but then proceed to explain how basically everything he does, he does to save his mom
@KumoBear12 not only did u misunderstand solo leveling itself but even when people explain in depth to you, u still misunderstand. Not calling u stupid whatsoever just ignorant and overlooking things. Bro explained the plot of SL, how the stories not gonna end when his moms saved, how he can't even get the things to save her yet bc he's too weak so Jinwoo has to lvl up and get better first, why he would rather continue on his own instead of falling into a trap contract with a guild. Why his mom wouldn't be his main motivation when she's not been around for years already and not dying anytime soon, how he know has the formula to make something to save her but there's other things he has to do so his mom can wait, she doesn't get healed until way later in the series anyway and even when she does she's still not a focus. Well not anymore of a focus than Jinwoo wanting to protect his loved ones by getting stronger like basically every MC LoL. It's about his journey to the top, how his experiences and strength change who he is as a person physically and mentally. Finding out the secret behind the system, who the monarchs and rulers are, why he was chosen etc etc... An opinion may have the right to be subjective but not when u don't fully understand what's going on so u shit on the topic at hand
Welp it is like this in the manhwa too until ch 46 which is where ep 12 ended. From there, to like ch 130, the manhwa pours its soul into the fights. Believe me, in cour 2 it will contain some of the most hype scenes one can see in entire anime. But it all depends how they will deliver it.
Ima be very fucking honest, sometimes just getting to see an edgy badass character beat the shit out of others is all the reason I need to watch an anime
I think that this show isn’t supposed to be abt Jin saving his mom or anything like that. Personally I believe that it is supposed to be about Jin’s growth and rise to the top. I think that some of the things you mentioned that were lacking in the story, are not the main focus and weren’t meant to be fixated on. But everyone has their own thoughts and interpretations of things. Love your vids keep up the good work
Thanks man! In regards to the story not being about his mom, the way I look at stories is that the main character needs a motivation, or a reason to do what he is doing. If that's not to save his mom, then I don't know what is. He has never expressed any joy or positive feelings when it comes to fighting and being in dungeons
@@KumoBear12he starts because lf his mom but as soon as he enters the instant dungeon you can see that he and the sistem need a strong sung and sung himself expresses that need to grow
@@KumoBear12He wants to be stronger and the system wants him to be stronger. He does not want to looked at as the weakest. This is seen when he almost dies in the double dungeon. When his old self tries to make him give up when he fights irgis. You should rewatch if you see missing all these details
Bruh. The anime is called solo leveling. Please just delete this video. Its just a turn your brain off hype fantasy show. Action for the sake of action is LITERALLY what this show is for. This is not your genre, we get it. You're more into a good narrative than just action. Now delete this video and stop hating on something that we love.
@@KumoBear12 you say you have no issues with shows that are primarily action, then you say it doesn't need to be "poorly written" a couple seconds after. Just admit that this just isn't your preferred genre and stop hating on something we love...
@@KumoBear12 Then you must have been watching Duo Leveling or something. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion so hey, maybe you'll enjoy it the more the story progresses but if its not for you thats fine. I personally loved this anime and thought they did it as faithful as they possibly could. It combined source material from the light novel and korean manwha so thats where the intro came from. The only thing they could've done better is episode structure, randomly talking about jeju in the middle of a fight is stupid but aside from that i am perfectly content with the anime. Great voice acting, music, art style, animation, everything you need for a great anime adaptation was there. Its not One Punch Man season 1 quality but its still fantastic nonetheless.
Disagree, an adaptation should be the exact same imo. If there is a change/thing they want to add, it should be a damn good reason for it, that elevates the original source material. Not just because it’s new for people who have seen the original
him saying that the 30 billion is chump change is because its chump change to an s ranker which is then his motivation moving foward because the 30 billion is nothing compared to what he could become i cant find the quote exactly rn but i remember it
@@KumoBear12 because his motivation is to test the system to the fullest extent and find out the limit of his ability so the money doesnt really matter because he makes it as a result of testing the system its much easier to see in the manga as opposed to the anime
@@KumoBear12 also he accepts immediately after with the condition its just the 2 of them so he doesnt deny the 30 million he was trying to get more out of the deal
"because his motivation is to test the system to the fullest extent and find out the limit of his ability" Sound like a lame motivation, not really interesting, but that's just me🤷♂
@@KumoBear12 its like 90% of manhwa people that like solo leveling is because its the best out of a bunch of power trip fantasies that are basically copy pasted by the same company some examples ive read are Catastrophic Necromancer, Boundless Necromancer and Auto Hunting With My Clones the solo leveling genre is basically the isekai of korea
@@KumoBear12 firstly u say that the first scene is bad cuz its not a complex enoughb univers to need it,but its goal isnt to do that its goal is to show more of the raid as its a very important part of the plot.Secondly u say sung jin woo should have accepted the offer if he really wanted to save his mom which could be a valid point but we know there is no cure no matter how rich u are and at the power he was at he could already afford the treatement without needing to accept it.Finally this one is very valid as for some reason they only show it in the manwha but in the manwha igris is shown extremely coky so i doubt he went full out on the last swing and on the manwha we see how sung equiped gtloves that makes it so he cant take damage or something similar(idk why they removed that part in the anime)
I still don’t think it’s a good idea to start with that scene because it’s setup for the next arc, and not the first arc. It’s literally the beginning of the story. And even if it does do some setup for the raid, it also does everything that I said it does in the video. If they really wanted that scene, they could have taken out all the exposition and just given some quick scenes that foreshadowed the raid
I think you don't realize that it's the system, which he already mentioned that everytime he levels up something changes in him. So it's should be understandable that current lvl 51 jin won't be the same as when he just got the powers.
Yeah I just think that’s super boring and uninteresting. A character having that drastic of a personality change due to plot reasons and not character development is lame
@@KumoBear12It is character development. Did you even watch the show? When we first see him his character is defined by his lack of strength but he was still very perceptive. He allowed people to be mean to him and make fun of him. What changes him is the double dungeon. Jin Woo is the person that saves everyone yet he is the person that is supposed to die. At first he takes pride in his decision to be left behind then he shows hate once his life is on the line. All the feelings that he has hidden are shown He wanted to be stronger and accepted everything done to him and now at his deathbed, he can't accept it. He even mocks Mr.Song and everyone that he saved. He even argues with himself about saving everyone. So of course that would change him.
I personally like how they started was pretty good, sure he didn't seem to turn edgy and such. I feel like the way it shows how he had to accept his new role really shows that he has a life we don't know about and rather shows more of that as the story goes on. The story isn't really about him "saving his mom", that is more of a side thing in his life (Makes no sense but yea) And I feel like it's because of the levelling system, when he got it he saw a bigger and better life than the one he has right now thus he didn't accept the 30 billion. But of course I can understand and respect your opinion!
@@KumoBear12 A life with 100 billion, maybe more He can see himself become something bigger, and from what we can see his goals change once he gains the levelling system and such, making him different from who he originally was (Trust me, many people would change if given the chance to "level up" per say)
@@KumoBear12 Pretty sure thats its 30 billion in won (korean currency), which is something like 22.1 million dollars. But the thing is, as a high rank hunter (b and above), its easy to make a ton of money. Kang said that the offer he got from the old man to kill the prisoners was nothing compared to which he could get from the different guilds, and he would have joined a guild if he needed money. Also, he would be a national celebrity for so called "reawakening". If people would find out that he had the potential of "leveling up" or get stronger, infinite strong, then many would see him as a "threat". If he didnt take the offer but joined a guild who would find out his secret, then some might get scared and a higher level ranker would try to take him out before he could become a world level threat. Also note from the fight against Igris: the reason he could catch the sword like nothing, is because of his armor buff, which would nullify any damage to his hand. There's a TON of things being left out from the novel and manwha, and I haven't read it yet, only watched comparisons, but there is a ton of things i didnt know about each episode. Hope you get what i mean and sorry for the somewhat bad english 😅
Based on all ur comments and ur tone you're obviously biased against solo leveling for some rsn. don't try and give an opinion on something you don't understand at all. Its a Korean anime that has a Japanese and English dub, its a Korean manhwa. "JJK has more action than solo leveling" its barely been out 2 months. Just stop, like seriously, u have no idea what ur talking about like bruh come on now. No way ur stating an ignorant opinion yet ur throwing out invalid points bc u misunderstand what's going on in the story, I admit sometimes the exposition of the side characters is unnecessary but what is solo leveling doing with that that other animes don't? Everytime a character in one piece dies, backstory and sob sad story, same with demon slayer which are animes you pointed out in the video. And they both do it while taking up a whole episode, one piece does it while taking up multiple episodes. There's no anime/cinema sin in that, most animes do it so it's not rlly valid to say solo leveling is wrong for shifting of the main plot to show side characters when almost if not all anime do it ESPECIALLY ONE PIECE, BLEACH, DEMON SLAYER, AND EVEN JJK. Ur biased for no reason, look at the anime objectively, pay attention to what's going on, hell even read the manhwa if that'll help u understand. But don't go around spouting nonsense due to ignorance of the topic. It'd be different if you even slightly knew what was going on, they literally explain everything, jinwoo doesn't just get random power ups, he has realizations, mans literally been pumping points into strength since he got the system, his strength is over 100 and if stats scale to a higher level than his actual lvl (which they do shown when jinwoo was able to completely crush rasakas scales with his bare hands) it wouldn't be a stretch that jinwoo grabbed igris sword while being protected by armour. Do an actual objective watch of the anime then come back and give a valid opinion after paying attention. Understand that its Korean in the VERY LEAST before hopping on bs
@Orochiii458 basic concept not a basic show nor manhwa, if it was then it wouldn't be trending so much lmfao, news abt it everywhere and no its nothing like a regular isekai, man didn't die and get reincarnated into an OP protagonist, his growth and change is shown throughout the entire series.
@Orochiii458 it's in no way similar to SAO besides the use of a system and even then the systems are completely different, kiritos or any other players don't force then to kill people
@@snifes3280 no. no. no. Who said its going to be better than one piece. Its a good show. But the beggining is not that great. read the manhawa. After you read it you are gonna love it
One of the most important parts of a story is the beginning. You really need to be as concise and to the point as possible to hook the audience. It makes it worse for reason I said in the video. It’s very tell and not show
@@KumoBear12 I can agree, sure it isn’t needed, but I’m assuming that scene was put in to show the brutality and what type of action type show your getting yourself into. It was most likely just to set the tone of the world snd explain essential questions that any one would have in episode one. and even touch on things that were not previously touched on in the manhwa. I agree that they could have made it a little less complicated and shown more visual representation of what they were talking about. This part was initially not included but it’s actually important. It was showcasing the previous Jeju island raid and what was going on. They also did a flash back scene for the head of the hunters guild guy( forgot his name) showing what he had lost going to that island.
They show the brutality literally later in the same episode and episode 2 when like almost all of them get brutally murdered and the main character straight up dies lol
There is a lots of people criticising your opinion here, but as a big SL manhwa and novel fan, i think you are pretty correct if i say so myself. I have been waiting for that adaptation for the longest time, and i would say that i am kinda disappointed honestly. Don’t misunderstand, SL is not a bad anime, but not the revolutionary anime i was awaiting for. I think that the original material source is truly a masterpiece, but i can’t say the same thing about the anime. It’s way to generic. This anime should have been more like JJK or Chainsaw Man, a more darker, serious anime, because that’s how the manhwa is. But this anime has a strong « This is your typical shonen anime » vibe: simple colorimetric, bright, very basic animation (some fights exclude). And that’s just about the visual aspect. The way each scene is structured really doesn't work in my opinion. Most of it feels to rushed, or straight up cringe. The best exemple i can think of is the Kang fight. In the manhwa, Kang sincerely felt so frightening, he had a aura, with this creepy smile of him. But in the anime, this scene felt just cringe, i don’t know, it just doesn’t work. The same goes for the scene where Igrit is turned into a shadow. In the manga, this scene has something solemn, with this speech that Jinwoo gives to Igrit, when he tells him to stop defending this empty throne and to serve him instead. But in the actual anime this scene is processed in the background and in less than 15 seconds when it should have lasted at least a minute. It’s so secondary that I’m sure almost everyone has already forgotten about it. And that’s only two exemples, but the entire show is actually full of this. The same goes for Jinwoo. He feels so bland in the anime. Just your typical edgy protagonist with no personality whatsoever. He felt so much more alive and unique in the original art. I don’t know how to describe it, especially because English isn’t my mother language, but if you read the manhwa, you will immediately understand my feelings. All around, not a bad anime. But nothing crazy imo
I will be honest becaus after watching i wanted to go down and start hating but after reading the comments damn have they been negative about his opinion lmao. To be honest i am one of those people that read the manhwa very early it was the first manhwa i read and after like the first 4-5 episodes they have left realy ALOT of plot behind and als want to add is that the plot of solo leveling goes realy hard after the 40 or chapters so yeah it does take some time until it gets good but stil that is why i always say its best to read the manhwa or manga becaus that is always the originol story that the writer intended to be read . i hope you don't like get mad because of the comments because i think most of the are just a bit emotional (fyi sorry for the bad english not my first language ) ALL LOVE :)
No the anime elevated the source, if anything it's much better than the manwha beside the art. The author is working with the anime and added the very much needed scenes, and yeah you're right, this guy doesn't really know what he's talking about and should read the source, or atleast wait until the anime finishes and then give his opinion on it
as someone that knew nothing from manghwah, the first scene baited me ngl, got me thinking they were the main characters, then suddenly we never see em anymore
your missing the point of SL it is not complex its the most generic isekai ever on crack its fun to just sit on your couch and turn off your brain and just watch SL say goo gaga your suppose to not care about the plot and shit like that yeah you can still care about it but i feel like once you care about the plot you will see flaw of SL its like McDonald you know its bad but you still eat it like SL you know the story aint that good but you still watch because its fun your opinion still good tho but you slightly tiny winy overcooked tho also to SL lovers stop defending it its very generic and SL haters yeah i know it aint that complex like your favorite show like aot hxh not every show needs to be complex sometimes you just want to have fun and not to think about it (sorry about my bad English it isn't my first language)
To me, a show doesn’t need to be complex to be good or enjoyable to me. I love demon slayer season 1 and 2. I feel like that’s pretty similar to the simple turn your brain off type of show your talking about. The difference with those two show is that I think demon slayer still has a pretty good story, characters and action. A show can be simple and good at the same time
Guess that’s just not very interesting to me. A characters personality changing exclusively due to plot reasons and not character development usually doesn’t work for me in these cases
@@KumoBear12 the development is that he can still keep his good side together while being stripped of his emotions and himself as a whole. If you don’t like that drop the god damn show, clearly you didn’t enjoy what you watched, and for some reason your points make it seem like you just listened to a synopsis but whatever
im pretty sure that opening scene is not a filler, its to set up that arc, i mean, that arc kind of comes out of nowhere in the manga, i mean, everything does, but right now they wanna set up the jeje island arc way more, by including that opening scene, idk
Do you know if it was in the manwha or not? I heard it wasn’t and I mean if so it’s filler. Either way, I think starting the story with setup for the next arc and not the current arc is kind of a bad idea in this case lol
His motivations change the reason post double dungeon jinwoo seems different from were first introduced to him is because he is changing he even mentions the change himself. As he gets stronger his emotions are more distant. Yes he is supposed to emo and edgey but its integral to the plot
@@KumoBear12 depends where you're at in the story but if you're anime only his main motivation is to get stronger. He wants to be stronger for multiple reasons.
Tbf i think due to the initial pace of the story, and i mean the manhwa itself, people fail to realize that jin woo's intial motivation was just to pay his mom's hospital bill / rent and maybe jin-ahs college. Note that hospital was keeping her alive but couldn't cure her, no matter what amount was paid, you should know why if you actually saw the whole thing. Later he found out about the elixir, which gave him a chance to save his mom, not just pay her bills. Thirdly, the job change adds one more responsibility for him. Here is the thing, few anime only thinking this diverts him from him original moto, which actually doesn't cz he is trying to get strong to ultimately fight the demon castle right, where he can get the elixir. We will see in next season how that goes, but his final motive, for now is still the same
I didn't finish the Solo Leveling anime since after like the first 5 episodes, it was just the same thing over and over again and I had enough. I couldn't connect to literally any character in the show and couldn't care enough about the characters to continue the show. Like the main character just became a sigma male alpha that girls can simp over and men can...simp over as well? Yeah maybe its a me problem but the show ain't for me.
This is why it's easy to explain its just a manhwa that Focuses on a overpowered MC Sung Jin woo is a humble and benevolent individual who cares deeply for his family and has an ardent desire to become stronger. As a result, he shares a close relationship with his sister and his mother, and rarely wastes an opportunity to refine his skills and gain more power. His deep bond with his family also makes him absolutely merciless towards anyone who dares to hurt them, as displayed when he massacred Groctar and his minions for attempting to kill Jinah, and murdered Hwang Dongsoo for torturing Jinho and the reason why they put those Fuller side characters in the anime because in the manhwa those side characters warrant written perfect the story just Focuses mostly on the main character it's not about the journey it's about the destination you follow the character through his struggles just like any other shonen MC that's why I actually like this character because character inspires you the most to go forward in life & hell anyone can relate to sung jin woo he is still no different from any other MC that's What Makes solo leveling interesting & great so to me the anime was not as good as the light novel💯💯💯💯
@@uthgaming9526 & how is the show boring to you if the character story hasn't even affected you later on it pulls the heartstrings it's not about the journey it's about the destination you follow the character through his struggles just like any other shonen MC because either you delusional or you just have bad taste in picking which fictional character inspires you the most to go forward in life hell anyone can relate to sung jin woo he is still no different from any other MC that's What Makes solo leveling interesting & great to me that's reason why I find Sung jin woo an interesting character because he stands on business not like your MCs of today like Yuji Itadori crying because Sukuna destroy an entire city block💀🤦🏻♂️
@@uthgaming9526 if I watch something I want something to affect me either to inspire me to do something or pull the heartstrings sure solo leveling is not a masterpiece it just focus on a guy that once to earn good money so he can put a roof under his & sister head & pay his sister school balls, find a cure for his mom having a dangerous job where he needs to go into portals trying to provide for his family throwing himself into dangerous situations fighting against Monsters to make a living now see a lot of people can relate to that because a lot of people have struggles that they are going through financial problems now the only problem I have with solo leveling is that the side characters could've been written a little better either than that the manhwa & light novel is enjoyable to read
I think it is a really good video, but about the offer with the money he rejected it was not 3 billion dollars because the currency in she show is yen which is Korean money and it is only around 200 000 in dollars, and compared to the money he can get when he becomes S hunter and even national level hunter these 200 000 dollars are nothing
@@KumoBear12 I read solo leveling and most of the information about side characters is revealed later. I think the problem was just organising information in the correct order
Glad to see other people also realise it is hot garbarge. People's defenses of it are insane. Everything they claim is good about it is done infinitely better in other shows. You want a show about a character striving to the top while developing their character and abilities along the way? MHA does that You want a show ehere a character's purpose is just to nebulously 'get stronger', DBZ does that with way more hype. The reason these shows do those aspects better and with way more hype is because in Solo Levelling, he doesn't actually work for any of that stuff, it just gets handed to him. He doesn't do anything real to get stronger or have character growth, it just happens sometimes just so he doesn't lose. There is nothing exciting about that and the show has no real stakes as a result. I have no investment in any of the characters. May as well be watching a group of brick walls
Bro their Korean not chinese🤦♂️ 30 billion won is 22 million USD which is a lot but not 4.5 billion and the manhwa is so much better than the anime, go read that man
The show is a power fantasy with action, Solo leveling didn’t become the top dog from being “well written”. It’s all set up to make the main char as bad ass as possible. I just think you should read the WEBTOON. The series is goated I promise. Rn you are watching him complete the side quest but when he breezes through main story the hype is there. I see this season one as a setup season and I think it’s doing pretty well. You’re expectations where high and it didn’t blow you away and that’s okay. You should prob say YOU where disappointed instead because the general consensus is that it did it’s job very well and paid respect to the original media and added context where the WEBTOON didn’t.
okay, in the beginning, the anime shows the juju island raid, which is exclusive to both the anime AND the light novel. it’s not an anime only scene. but I do agree with you on everything else. the story is generic, but what makes this series so popular is the main character, sung jinwoo. if he did not have an entire army in his arsenal, solo leveling would be much worse. but one more thing, the part where he grabbed igris’s sword was possible because of his item that he had just obtained, which has a passive that doesn’t allow hand injuries. great video though dude, 9/10, would come again (1 point lost for jujutsu kaisen glaze 💀)
7:40 the point was, he would sell himself to be a minion from the company, for an amount of money he think will be able to do in ashorter amount of time than undefined, that's why he refused, and he agreed to make the 19 dungeons to farm lvls, not to make money, he need to get way stronger to solo the dungeon, and save the mother, while he's not strong, he needs $$$
The first scene was perfect if you've read the manwha. (the action scene in jeju) And allowed for an easy explanation of the world, you say they could just do the one piece route but that's just not what solo leveling is like so it's not comparable. Jin-woo ISN'T EDGY, learn the meaning of the word please. His transformation was literally explained in the episode he transformed, his stats cause his body to change and that's a VERY big plot point for later in the story. Jin-woo saving his mother is a reason for him to get stronger, not a goal, a motivation so he CAN save his mother, You saying the reason gons motivation is much better is because ging is shrouded in mysery and there are remarks about him throughout the story. But this is literally just jin-woo's mother.. It's NOT the whole goal of the show, so you don't need it to be like HxH. You should just know that he's getting stronger for his mother, if you don't care watch something else. Jin-woo didn't accept jin-ho's offer of 30 billion won, because if he just keeps levelling up he could easily just earn that amount by himself so why bother the risk of publicity on his power? The show even tells you this. Also you saying jin-woo doesn't seem to care about his mother himself is bs, he literally visits her like every other episode, but yeah you're right he doesn't care does he? I mean it's not like he's only getting stronger for her sake no? He doesn't need the 30 bill since he can already pay for her bills with the money he has, and as i said it puts him at risk to accept that deal to do 19 dungeons, Also the disease his mother has (Eternal slumber) IS UNCURABLE, so no matter how much money he throws at her it won't help! She aint gonna just stand up and start twerking because she's getting money payed for her sake. (joking around) Ep 9, Kangs bad at his job? He called it a hobby as he's crazed, And how was he meant to know that the paths conversed and led to the same place? Ep 11 has A LOT OF FORESHADOWING, so nothing in that fight was bs at all if you finish the manwha, everything and the reason behind certain events happening (especially in the igris fight) are explained and elevated on, so you shitting on the fight while knowing NOTHING of what it really was felt absurd lmao. Ep 11's fight truly is amazing at what it sets out to do, you only realise this VERY LATE into the story though, (I'm not trying to spoil anything), but calling that "jin-woo catching the sword because of course he does and then just kills the enemy he's been difficultly struggling with is bs" IS A LIE, Jin-woo pretended to be dead and igris was going to behead him for honour. Caught off guard from jin-woo catching his sword, he hesitates and let's jin-woo take the offensive on him and defeat him. just incase you're still saying bs SPOILER WARNING!!! (Igris LET jin-woo beat him after holding back the whole fight, the moment jin-woo caught his sword he thought he was worthy due to his determination no matter the odds) no more spoiler warnings now, The "random" side character throw-ins are very good character showcases that you'll care for a lot later in the show, And many of them are building a mini plot line leading to a huge story plot point, so they are shoving it down your throat for a good reason, you'll appreciate it later on. The appeal for this show ISN'T THE "EDGY" MC, HE ISN'T EVEN EDGY, it's the growth of a lovable character which you'll understand later on (unless it just aint for you ofc) it's a show about determination and a lot more but if i say more i'll spoil. Why are you comparing jjk a 40 + episode action show to a so far 12 episode action show? NO SHIT JJK HAS MORE ACTION, the first 12 episodes of jjk have way less action, and if anything are way worse in general (imo) same with ds and bleach (again, imo) Calling sl a bad action show but jjk a good one is hilarious to me but besides. Basing solo leveling off the first 12 episodes is just unjust, the first 12 episodes are mainly introductory to the world and some characters, the mysterious plot slowly will reveal itself throughout the show as it goes on, not trying to be a hate comment as yk, i put a lot of effort into this comment explaining why you're clearly just wrong. Still decent video with a lot of eh points, a lot of what you said just is plainly wrong but i'm not trying to hate. Have a good day or night if you bother reading this comment.
People might actually read it if you, you know, use paragraphs. As far as the series goes, it's just not that good, it's just a power fantasy for beta males that play too much vidya. It's not bad, not at all, it's just good, though the manwa art is pretty good.
Omg thank you!! I kept wondering why I didn’t like Sung Ji-Woo and thought it was because he kept turning into an emotion less douche who acted like only he could do everything which ya, it the case, but like you pointed out he doesn’t have a strong motivation to do all of this!
@@KumoBear12 "i don't know what i'm talking about and i'm gonna base the whole show off of 12 episodes, and STILL be wrong". Please just read the whole light novel then share your opinion
All of bros takes are baseless and invalid, you just don't understand what's going on whatsoever and it's very clear from me video and ur comments. I'm not the only one saying it so even if I'm lying, SOMEONE has to be telling the truth😂. I can't respect an opinion thts founded on misconceptions and misunderstandings, I've tried to explain but sometimes you can't get a goofy to listen when they're so stubborn in thinking they're right just bc they don't like the show in general even tho it's pretty good and it's trending world wide. Action scenes are getting rated top tier, story is better than most anime out right now. Who doesn't like a protagonists climb to the top. "He doesn't have any motivation" he doesn't want to he weak and useless anymore, isn't that like half of anime lol???
@user-yz6mm1fv5j That's not like half of anime, and if you think so, maybe we just look at stories different. If that is Jin's motivation, I think it sucks and is boring, and you shouldn't feel any type of way about me saying that, beause it's an opinion
@@KumoBear12 ... how do i explain. the character got drip. the fight scenes have so much hype and the plot as he grows stronger and stronger and gets a large shadow army from enemies he has defeated is just so great to watch.
just watched more of the video. Its clear to me that you didnt get all the info in the episodes. the reason he didnt accept the 30bil right away was because he didnt even know how his power would affect him nor did he know what might happen if he keeps leveling up. You seen in later episodes he now understands his power more and is confident enough to take on the contract. i just feel like you are expecting this show to be the best ever but your judging it off of its first season and arguably less than 25% of the plot. let it cook and those complaints will start dwindling down one by one. Also his main motivation to getting stronger is to save his mother yes, but he was always known as the worlds weakest huneter so he feels desperate to change his destiny. His other motivation is that the system forces him to do certain things even against his will. for example when he killed those criminal hunters in the dungeon. Just watch the show again and pay close attention to the dialogue. you clearly just missed some important info
@@KumoBear12 You asked his motivation for leveling up, that basically is it for the beginning. If youve been paying attention, occasionally they drop subtle lore hints about how sung feels there is a mysterious and or familiar power behind the system and that he does not trust it. He also doesnt want to die, so ofc he has to get stronger, especially with S ranks hunting him down. Also His MAIN motivation above all else atm is to be the strongest simply because he was known as the weakest of all mankind. He despises his old weak self and wanted change. it may seem confusing but like i said, let it cook, your questions will be answered in the next couple seasons hopefully.
I think him wanting to be strong because he used to be weak is a pretty lame motivation for him to have. And if that is his motivation, I don’t think he expresses that want very much🤷♂️
@@KumoBear12 like I said, he has multiple different reasons for doing things that he does. There isn’t one clear motive behind every intention. How is it lame tho? Literally every other protagonist power shounen type anime has the mc sick of being weak so he wants to get stronger. Sure those premises are more survival or vengeful, but sung is literally just surviving. He has the money he just needs the power to stay safe, that’s why he constantly levels up, also he needs to get stronger to go back to the demon castle and collect the potion. I don’t see how it’s lame.
What are some examples of other shonen mc’s have that motivation? Naruto wants to be stronger because he wants to be the hokage, but being the hokage is his main goal. Eren wants to get stronger to kill the titans, but killing the titans is his main goal. Yuji wants to get stronger to help others. I’m a bit confused
@@boshiralhezaz6087ngl u have to wait until the jeju arc and when all the build of for this season comes to a climax bc the way they did it was kind of weird but i can’t really judge this season properly because it’s all building up to what happens next with the ahjin guild stuff
@@boshiralhezaz6087 i’ve read the novel and manwha, it’s impossible to recreate the manwha’s art in animation if you want it to be smooth and fluid, the animation we got was amazing, and we got a developed story and more developed characters, so far the anime is overall better than the manwha.
@@boshiralhezaz6087 also i’ve read more than you’ve watched, hell a bloody lot more of watch time aswell, and it doesn’t matter how much you’ve watched when i literally work in the animation industry and also have an english major, i know what i’m talking about, animation isn’t about the pretty colours and how good the drawings in-between each frame, it’s how fluid the movement of those drawings in video are. good looking colours, flashy effects, dynamic lighting, that’s compositing, NOT animation. Solo levelings animation is really top notch, way above the animation industry, not the best animation of all time but it’s very good, the character design’s were just a bit off every now and then which i wasn’t really bugged about.
OPINION WARNING
If you can’t handle someone having an opinion about an anime, this video is not for you.
I got the country/currency wrong, but my point remains the same, as it translates to 200 million dollars
100% nothing special at all
Its like I'm watching Isekai
I'd very much appreciate it if u were more direct. You were negative throughout the whole this, ur opinion is based on malarkey and misinterpretations. Js don't overly form an opinion into a video without understanding what's all going on in the show
It's not the system that changes his personality, it's the things he realizes and experiences as he becomes stronger. Like how when he went into the dungeon with dongsuks party and he saw how easily they could betray, manipulate, and kill, then how the system wanted him to kill them to save himself. It changed his world view, and he understood what was going on. Didn't u pay attention to the whole sequence of events leading up to when he said "I don't even need to be angry to kill trash like you". Then again against the assassin hunter, he saw how deranged people can be which transformed him again. Like I said, pay attention to the plot points and you'll understand the system isn't making him change his personality. He's always been the same except weaker so he couldn't do anything, couldn't truly see the world for what it was up until certain circumstances happened to him, how the experiences along the way influenced him to see the world for what it was. Conniving but also sometimes amazing. Read the manhwa or actually just pay attention to his thoughts and dialogue in the anime. No hate on ur opinion, just saying it's based on misconceptions. If u truly take in solo leveling for what it is instead of judging it without any REAL info, then it's fine, but not when ur shitting on something bc u don't understand it
@@UrMuvvA4969 They literally explain that the system changes his personality as he levels up
@KumoBear12 when was tht stated? Like at all, u gotta be confused, the system may kill his emotions after it forces him to kill people so he can live but thts only after he's seen people for what they are and he makes his own decision. Imma need the exact chapter or ep number where u got tht info
nah complaining about future foreshadowing that wasnt in the webtoon with the failed jeju raid is crazy
It was bad foreshadowing, just straight exposition
@KumoBear12 there's is absolutely nothing wrong with exposition in stories. I've read countless books, manhwa, and watched anime with needless exposition even the anime that you urself said was good. Cough cough demon slayer cough cough
Solo leveling felt like I watched it 1000 times,it’s so generic and normal 😂 the animation is fire though but the story is the same every episode
that's the point tho its the most generic isekai shit ever but on steroid
It’s literally NOT an Isekai at all. Media literally really is gone
I thought I was wierd for not really jiving with Solo Leveling. I was left so disappointed by S1 after all the hype it has been receiving. Character writing is so underwhelming and characters feel like they have no personality at all. Most of them copy-paste of one another...
i also didn't appreciate the anime, for reasons other than yours, but holy fuck the anime fans are rabid in the comments lol
I understand your reasoning but I feel like it’s half baked or misunderstood, like you watched the show on subbed, and didn’t read any sub titles.😭
Hmmm, like what for example?
Personally, I don't think you cooked with this one. I respect it, though, but you're missing the point of Solo Leveling.
(TLDR, at the bottom)
The stories main plot isn't Jin Woo saving his mother it's about his journey to the top, his self development, that's like saying HxH should've stopped the moment Gon met Ging, like common bruh, ofc that's not gonna happen, Solo Leveling is about the hype behind LEVELING UP!!! Everything else is secondary.
The money he turned down wasn't because he didn't want to save his mom. Saving his mom isn't possible with money. The hospital bills are just bills, not a cure. it's like someone going into a coma, so now that he's Leveling up, and making more money, he dosen't need to jump onto a 30billion train because now he has the ability to make more than that with his system.
Jin is more calculated than you think and understands his system a lot more than he actually lets on, but at the same time, it's still a mystery . like where did it come from? Why was he chosen? those are the main plot points of the story even though its not exactly spoken. and at the end of the day, it's a LEVEL UP SYSTEM, until his level caps out, theoretically, his power is infinite. That's what is universally understood between Jin and the watcher/reader.
Jin saving his mom is NOT possible right now, so of course he's not gonna stress about it. The bills are paid, and she's still alive. That's all that matters, like any normal person😂. of course, you worry, but Jin hasn't had his mom around and walking for years. When you get used to something, not a lot is gonna change that.
Jin winning against Igris was a little down played in the anime than the manhwa, he was reslly getting his butt handed to him in both, but he found out about his equipment system earlier than the fight which helped him in grabbing the sword, because he was wearing gauntlets. I didn't watch that much of the anime so I'm not sure if they actually showed the bit where he was picking up and equipping items, but it was supposed to be pretty early on to the job change.
And like you said, Jin abused his system and cleverly used the ability to summon his weapons. That's not an asspull. It's a mechanic. as much as you might hate a guy keeping you in a corner, not allowing you to press buttons on Tekken or something. That shit is in the game, meaning anything goes. you gave his props even though you shat on his whole triumph, sure they might not have reslly showed how much of a struggle that fight was for jin, but it wasn't that Igris was THAT much stronger, it was because Jin dosen't know what the hell he's doing, if he had some martial background thsy fight would've been a lot easier for him, but he fought with a guy with powers he's mever experienced before, who was physically stronger than him, and didn't give no F*CKS period. meaning that dub was EVERYTHING. he won that not because of the plot or some bs, but he won it with wits, by the skin of his teeth!
I can understand the complaint about some of the other S ranks talking and whst not, but the anime only scene In the first part isn't not some just world building bs, it's FORESHADOWING a future arc, that's what all the S ranks are talking about is the JeJu island raid, and the clock ticking down IF Jin Woo will be strong enough to Participate and triumph in that area. it'd building a sort of suspense, a... RISING ACTION. Now, as a guy who read the whole story multiple times, if I was watching fresh I'd be thrown off, but not enough to say the show was disappointing because of an anime only scene, people act like those scenes are the devils nut sack😂
TL:DR
Solo Leveling is about the grind to the top, the story isn't gonna end at Jin saving his mother, so why would we rush and make every action about doing that? Especially when humans can't even do it by themselves no matter how much money you have. Jin Woo might've gotten the recipe for an elixir, BUT WHERE DO YOU GET THE INGREDIENTS!? This stuff takes time. His mom is not gonna die of anything but old age or UNnatural causes due to her sickness, so why rush to 30 billion knowing it's not gonna help, KNOWING he's now making the money to cover the bills AND. be comfortable? Now, he's just closing his opportunities before they even open. Jin Woo winning his fight with Igris was a struggle and 3 quarters in the Manwha, because I didn't watch the episode. I don't know how they expressed that here in the anime, but shitting on him for using game mechanics is WILD. Now you're just nitpicking; grasping for straws. he quite litterly HAD no other choice, it wasn't plot convenience, it wasn't plot armor, it was a reality check for Jin Woo, which playes into his inner monologe later during the timmer part of the job change, he dosen't think he's good enough, he's trying but he's barely getting by even if he's getting stronger, there's always somone better so he should just quit while he's ahead, he still had his family to look out for. etc.
Solo Levelings plot is about Jin Woo's growth, development, the hype of CONTINUOUSLY LEVELING, the mystery behind why he CAN level up, and the uncertainty of his limits.
Sorry I can’t respond to everything cuz you wrote so much lmao but I said him using game mechanics was a good thing, not bad. I liked it. And you say it’s not about saving his mother, but then proceed to explain how basically everything he does, he does to save his mom
@KumoBear12 not only did u misunderstand solo leveling itself but even when people explain in depth to you, u still misunderstand. Not calling u stupid whatsoever just ignorant and overlooking things. Bro explained the plot of SL, how the stories not gonna end when his moms saved, how he can't even get the things to save her yet bc he's too weak so Jinwoo has to lvl up and get better first, why he would rather continue on his own instead of falling into a trap contract with a guild. Why his mom wouldn't be his main motivation when she's not been around for years already and not dying anytime soon, how he know has the formula to make something to save her but there's other things he has to do so his mom can wait, she doesn't get healed until way later in the series anyway and even when she does she's still not a focus. Well not anymore of a focus than Jinwoo wanting to protect his loved ones by getting stronger like basically every MC LoL. It's about his journey to the top, how his experiences and strength change who he is as a person physically and mentally. Finding out the secret behind the system, who the monarchs and rulers are, why he was chosen etc etc... An opinion may have the right to be subjective but not when u don't fully understand what's going on so u shit on the topic at hand
Congrat,you achieved title of "king of yapper"! 🗿🗣️
Welp it is like this in the manhwa too until ch 46 which is where ep 12 ended. From there, to like ch 130, the manhwa pours its soul into the fights.
Believe me, in cour 2 it will contain some of the most hype scenes one can see in entire anime. But it all depends how they will deliver it.
Ima be very fucking honest, sometimes just getting to see an edgy badass character beat the shit out of others is all the reason I need to watch an anime
Yes.
I think that this show isn’t supposed to be abt Jin saving his mom or anything like that. Personally I believe that it is supposed to be about Jin’s growth and rise to the top. I think that some of the things you mentioned that were lacking in the story, are not the main focus and weren’t meant to be fixated on. But everyone has their own thoughts and interpretations of things. Love your vids keep up the good work
Thanks man! In regards to the story not being about his mom, the way I look at stories is that the main character needs a motivation, or a reason to do what he is doing. If that's not to save his mom, then I don't know what is. He has never expressed any joy or positive feelings when it comes to fighting and being in dungeons
@@KumoBear12he starts because lf his mom but as soon as he enters the instant dungeon you can see that he and the sistem need a strong sung and sung himself expresses that need to grow
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. I did find the motivation part lacking, but I also just like to watch people kickass which he did a lot of, lol.
So basically he's the worst son you could have?
@@KumoBear12He wants to be stronger and the system wants him to be stronger. He does not want to looked at as the weakest. This is seen when he almost dies in the double dungeon. When his old self tries to make him give up when he fights irgis. You should rewatch if you see missing all these details
Bruh. The anime is called solo leveling. Please just delete this video. Its just a turn your brain off hype fantasy show. Action for the sake of action is LITERALLY what this show is for.

@@KumoBear12 Then you must have been watching Duo Leveling or something. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion so hey, maybe you'll enjoy it the more the story progresses but if its not for you thats fine. I personally loved this anime and thought they did it as faithful as they possibly could. It combined source material from the light novel and korean manwha so thats where the intro came from. The only thing they could've done better is episode structure, randomly talking about jeju in the middle of a fight is stupid but aside from that i am perfectly content with the anime. Great voice acting, music, art style, animation, everything you need for a great anime adaptation was there. Its not One Punch Man season 1 quality but its still fantastic nonetheless.
hey man that's not very kind to say he has his opinion
Imagine writing an entire script and using time of your day to edit the video while not understanding a single shit of what went on in the anime.

Disagree, an adaptation should be the exact same imo. If there is a change/thing they want to add, it should be a damn good reason for it, that elevates the original source material. Not just because it’s new for people who have seen the original
him saying that the 30 billion is chump change is because its chump change to an s ranker which is then his motivation moving foward because the 30 billion is nothing compared to what he could become i cant find the quote exactly rn but i remember it
Yeah but why does he need more than 30 billion? 3 billion is a ridiculous amount of money you are set forever, why do you need more?
@@KumoBear12 because his motivation is to test the system to the fullest extent and find out the limit of his ability so the money doesnt really matter because he makes it as a result of testing the system its much easier to see in the manga as opposed to the anime
@@KumoBear12 also he accepts immediately after with the condition its just the 2 of them so he doesnt deny the 30 million he was trying to get more out of the deal
"because his motivation is to test the system to the fullest extent and find out the limit of his ability" Sound like a lame motivation, not really interesting, but that's just me🤷♂
@@KumoBear12 its like 90% of manhwa people that like solo leveling is because its the best out of a bunch of power trip fantasies that are basically copy pasted by the same company some examples ive read are Catastrophic Necromancer, Boundless Necromancer and Auto Hunting With My Clones the solo leveling genre is basically the isekai of korea
my guy i thinik you are missing some major points in the story so i suggest you finish the manwa and then come back to it .
Did you miss the entire point of the plot?
I think this is a good video but some of the points u made ignore certain aspects/arent really valid
Thanks! What points did you not like/disagree with?
@@KumoBear12 mainly every point
@@KumoBear12 firstly u say that the first scene is bad cuz its not a complex enoughb univers to need it,but its goal isnt to do that its goal is to show more of the raid as its a very important part of the plot.Secondly u say sung jin woo should have accepted the offer if he really wanted to save his mom which could be a valid point but we know there is no cure no matter how rich u are and at the power he was at he could already afford the treatement without needing to accept it.Finally this one is very valid as for some reason they only show it in the manwha but in the manwha igris is shown extremely coky so i doubt he went full out on the last swing and on the manwha we see how sung equiped gtloves that makes it so he cant take damage or something similar(idk why they removed that part in the anime)
I still don’t think it’s a good idea to start with that scene because it’s setup for the next arc, and not the first arc. It’s literally the beginning of the story. And even if it does do some setup for the raid, it also does everything that I said it does in the video. If they really wanted that scene, they could have taken out all the exposition and just given some quick scenes that foreshadowed the raid
@@KumoBear12 Jeju island IS the first main arc.
I think you don't realize that it's the system, which he already mentioned that everytime he levels up something changes in him. So it's should be understandable that current lvl 51 jin won't be the same as when he just got the powers.
Yeah I just think that’s super boring and uninteresting. A character having that drastic of a personality change due to plot reasons and not character development is lame
@@KumoBear12It is character development. Did you even watch the show? When we first see him his character is defined by his lack of strength but he was still very perceptive. He allowed people to be mean to him and make fun of him. What changes him is the double dungeon. Jin Woo is the person that saves everyone yet he is the person that is supposed to die. At first he takes pride in his decision to be left behind then he shows hate once his life is on the line. All the feelings that he has hidden are shown
He wanted to be stronger and accepted everything done to him and now at his deathbed, he can't accept it. He even mocks Mr.Song and everyone that he saved. He even argues with himself about saving everyone. So of course that would change him.
I just hope they put some more context and fillers on the last 50 chapters.. everything was rushed.
Knowing the LN exists , it must
I personally like how they started was pretty good, sure he didn't seem to turn edgy and such. I feel like the way it shows how he had to accept his new role really shows that he has a life we don't know about and rather shows more of that as the story goes on. The story isn't really about him "saving his mom", that is more of a side thing in his life (Makes no sense but yea)
And I feel like it's because of the levelling system, when he got it he saw a bigger and better life than the one he has right now thus he didn't accept the 30 billion. But of course I can understand and respect your opinion!
Ok I hear you but like, what does a bigger and better life than 30 billion look like?
@@KumoBear12 A life with 100 billion, maybe more
He can see himself become something bigger, and from what we can see his goals change once he gains the levelling system and such, making him different from who he originally was (Trust me, many people would change if given the chance to "level up" per say)
Then again, that's just my opinion- Good video man! Keep it up!
@@KumoBear12 Pretty sure thats its 30 billion in won (korean currency), which is something like 22.1 million dollars. But the thing is, as a high rank hunter (b and above), its easy to make a ton of money.
Kang said that the offer he got from the old man to kill the prisoners was nothing compared to which he could get from the different guilds, and he would have joined a guild if he needed money.
Also, he would be a national celebrity for so called "reawakening". If people would find out that he had the potential of "leveling up" or get stronger, infinite strong, then many would see him as a "threat". If he didnt take the offer but joined a guild who would find out his secret, then some might get scared and a higher level ranker would try to take him out before he could become a world level threat.
Also note from the fight against Igris: the reason he could catch the sword like nothing, is because of his armor buff, which would nullify any damage to his hand.
There's a TON of things being left out from the novel and manwha, and I haven't read it yet, only watched comparisons, but there is a ton of things i didnt know about each episode.
Hope you get what i mean and sorry for the somewhat bad english 😅
@@KumoBear12 he goes on to make 100x more than that soloing dungeon back to back with Jinho
Based on all ur comments and ur tone you're obviously biased against solo leveling for some rsn. don't try and give an opinion on something you don't understand at all. Its a Korean anime that has a Japanese and English dub, its a Korean manhwa. "JJK has more action than solo leveling" its barely been out 2 months. Just stop, like seriously, u have no idea what ur talking about like bruh come on now. No way ur stating an ignorant opinion yet ur throwing out invalid points bc u misunderstand what's going on in the story, I admit sometimes the exposition of the side characters is unnecessary but what is solo leveling doing with that that other animes don't? Everytime a character in one piece dies, backstory and sob sad story, same with demon slayer which are animes you pointed out in the video. And they both do it while taking up a whole episode, one piece does it while taking up multiple episodes. There's no anime/cinema sin in that, most animes do it so it's not rlly valid to say solo leveling is wrong for shifting of the main plot to show side characters when almost if not all anime do it ESPECIALLY ONE PIECE, BLEACH, DEMON SLAYER, AND EVEN JJK. Ur biased for no reason, look at the anime objectively, pay attention to what's going on, hell even read the manhwa if that'll help u understand. But don't go around spouting nonsense due to ignorance of the topic. It'd be different if you even slightly knew what was going on, they literally explain everything, jinwoo doesn't just get random power ups, he has realizations, mans literally been pumping points into strength since he got the system, his strength is over 100 and if stats scale to a higher level than his actual lvl (which they do shown when jinwoo was able to completely crush rasakas scales with his bare hands) it wouldn't be a stretch that jinwoo grabbed igris sword while being protected by armour. Do an actual objective watch of the anime then come back and give a valid opinion after paying attention. Understand that its Korean in the VERY LEAST before hopping on bs
Bro cant accept the fact that SL is like a basic show, after season 1
Jin woo neg diff them all
It's like an Isekai anime💀
@Orochiii458 basic concept not a basic show nor manhwa, if it was then it wouldn't be trending so much lmfao, news abt it everywhere and no its nothing like a regular isekai, man didn't die and get reincarnated into an OP protagonist, his growth and change is shown throughout the entire series.

So similar
@Orochiii458 it's in no way similar to SAO besides the use of a system and even then the systems are completely different, kiritos or any other players don't force then to kill people

Idk why I just listened to this dude yap for 12 mins about nun
I did learn he doesn’t love his mom tho
bruh the opening scene was like 2 min. how does that make it worse? evey other hot take will be shown and answered later kinda.
One of the most important parts of a story is the beginning. You really need to be as concise and to the point as possible to hook the audience. It makes it worse for reason I said in the video. It’s very tell and not show
@@KumoBear12 I can agree, sure it isn’t needed, but I’m assuming that scene was put in to show the brutality and what type of action type show your getting yourself into. It was most likely just to set the tone of the world snd explain essential questions that any one would have in episode one. and even touch on things that were not previously touched on in the manhwa. I agree that they could have made it a little less complicated and shown more visual representation of what they were talking about. This part was initially not included but it’s actually important. It was showcasing the previous Jeju island raid and what was going on. They also did a flash back scene for the head of the hunters guild guy( forgot his name) showing what he had lost going to that island.
They show the brutality literally later in the same episode and episode 2 when like almost all of them get brutally murdered and the main character straight up dies lol

@@Orochiii458are even watch the manwha bro?is was cool.
@@Orochiii458guy who made the video literally said it was an opinion not a fact
There is a lots of people criticising your opinion here, but as a big SL manhwa and novel fan, i think you are pretty correct if i say so myself. I have been waiting for that adaptation for the longest time, and i would say that i am kinda disappointed honestly.
Don’t misunderstand, SL is not a bad anime, but not the revolutionary anime i was awaiting for.
I think that the original material source is truly a masterpiece, but i can’t say the same thing about the anime. It’s way to generic.
This anime should have been more like JJK or Chainsaw Man, a more darker, serious anime, because that’s how the manhwa is. But this anime has a strong « This is your typical shonen anime » vibe: simple colorimetric, bright, very basic animation (some fights exclude). And that’s just about the visual aspect.
The way each scene is structured really doesn't work in my opinion. Most of it feels to rushed, or straight up cringe.
The best exemple i can think of is the Kang fight. In the manhwa, Kang sincerely felt so frightening, he had a aura, with this creepy smile of him. But in the anime, this scene felt just cringe, i don’t know, it just doesn’t work.
The same goes for the scene where Igrit is turned into a shadow. In the manga, this scene has something solemn, with this speech that Jinwoo gives to Igrit, when he tells him to stop defending this empty throne and to serve him instead. But in the actual anime this scene is processed in the background and in less than 15 seconds when it should have lasted at least a minute. It’s so secondary that I’m sure almost everyone has already forgotten about it. And that’s only two exemples, but the entire show is actually full of this.
The same goes for Jinwoo. He feels so bland in the anime. Just your typical edgy protagonist with no personality whatsoever. He felt so much more alive and unique in the original art. I don’t know how to describe it, especially because English isn’t my mother language, but if you read the manhwa, you will immediately understand my feelings.
All around, not a bad anime. But nothing crazy imo
I will be honest becaus after watching i wanted to go down and start hating but after reading the comments damn have they been negative about his opinion lmao. To be honest i am one of those people that read the manhwa very early it was the first manhwa i read and after like the first 4-5 episodes they have left realy ALOT of plot behind and als want to add is that the plot of solo leveling goes realy hard after the 40 or chapters so yeah it does take some time until it gets good but stil that is why i always say its best to read the manhwa or manga becaus that is always the originol story that the writer intended to be read . i hope you don't like get mad because of the comments because i think most of the are just a bit emotional (fyi sorry for the bad english not my first language ) ALL LOVE :)
No the anime elevated the source, if anything it's much better than the manwha beside the art. The author is working with the anime and added the very much needed scenes, and yeah you're right, this guy doesn't really know what he's talking about and should read the source, or atleast wait until the anime finishes and then give his opinion on it
as someone that knew nothing from manghwah, the first scene baited me ngl, got me thinking they were the main characters, then suddenly we never see em anymore
@WildlifeFAQ yeye I learned it l8r, but got baited @ beginning lol
your missing the point of SL it is not complex its the most generic isekai ever on crack its fun to just sit on your couch and turn off your brain and just watch SL say goo gaga your suppose to not care about the plot and shit like that yeah you can still care about it but i feel like once you care about the plot you will see flaw of SL its like McDonald you know its bad but you still eat it like SL you know the story aint that good but you still watch because its fun your opinion still good tho but you slightly tiny winy overcooked tho also to SL lovers stop defending it its very generic and SL haters yeah i know it aint that complex like your favorite show like aot hxh not every show needs to be complex sometimes you just want to have fun and not to think about it (sorry about my bad English it isn't my first language)
To me, a show doesn’t need to be complex to be good or enjoyable to me. I love demon slayer season 1 and 2. I feel like that’s pretty similar to the simple turn your brain off type of show your talking about. The difference with those two show is that I think demon slayer still has a pretty good story, characters and action. A show can be simple and good at the same time
L take.. just go back to watching my hero.

@KumoBear12 if you can't handle my bad opinion of your video, don't make it.
@@FiredUpFox If you can have an opinion on my video, I can have an opinion on your comment. If you can't handle that, don't comment
Alright I can agree with you with basically everything but I feel like them changing a few things from the manwa but i agree with everything else
You did not understand the story at all. Did you for get that sung jinwoo looses a part of himself when he gets stronger did you like forget about it
Guess that’s just not very interesting to me. A characters personality changing exclusively due to plot reasons and not character development usually doesn’t work for me in these cases
@@KumoBear12 the development is that he can still keep his good side together while being stripped of his emotions and himself as a whole. If you don’t like that drop the god damn show, clearly you didn’t enjoy what you watched, and for some reason your points make it seem like you just listened to a synopsis but whatever
im pretty sure that opening scene is not a filler, its to set up that arc, i mean, that arc kind of comes out of nowhere in the manga, i mean, everything does, but right now they wanna set up the jeje island arc way more, by including that opening scene, idk
Do you know if it was in the manwha or not? I heard it wasn’t and I mean if so it’s filler. Either way, I think starting the story with setup for the next arc and not the current arc is kind of a bad idea in this case lol
@@KumoBear12i think it was shown in the light novel and the anime follows more of the novel
You are too picky
His motivations change the reason post double dungeon jinwoo seems different from were first introduced to him is because he is changing he even mentions the change himself. As he gets stronger his emotions are more distant. Yes he is supposed to emo and edgey but its integral to the plot
So what is his motivation?
@@KumoBear12 depends where you're at in the story but if you're anime only his main motivation is to get stronger. He wants to be stronger for multiple reasons.
Tbf i think due to the initial pace of the story, and i mean the manhwa itself, people fail to realize that jin woo's intial motivation was just to pay his mom's hospital bill / rent and maybe jin-ahs college. Note that hospital was keeping her alive but couldn't cure her, no matter what amount was paid, you should know why if you actually saw the whole thing. Later he found out about the elixir, which gave him a chance to save his mom, not just pay her bills. Thirdly, the job change adds one more responsibility for him. Here is the thing, few anime only thinking this diverts him from him original moto, which actually doesn't cz he is trying to get strong to ultimately fight the demon castle right, where he can get the elixir. We will see in next season how that goes, but his final motive, for now is still the same
Agreed
honey wake up a new kumo bear video just dropped
❤️
I didn't finish the Solo Leveling anime since after like the first 5 episodes, it was just the same thing over and over again and I had enough. I couldn't connect to literally any character in the show and couldn't care enough about the characters to continue the show. Like the main character just became a sigma male alpha that girls can simp over and men can...simp over as well? Yeah maybe its a me problem but the show ain't for me.
It was like watching the Andrew Tate origin story or some bs💀
This is why it's easy to explain its just a manhwa that Focuses on a overpowered MC Sung Jin woo is a humble and benevolent individual who cares deeply for his family and has an ardent desire to become stronger. As a result, he shares a close relationship with his sister and his mother, and rarely wastes an opportunity to refine his skills and gain more power. His deep bond with his family also makes him absolutely merciless towards anyone who dares to hurt them, as displayed when he massacred Groctar and his minions for attempting to kill Jinah, and murdered Hwang Dongsoo for torturing Jinho and the reason why they put those Fuller side characters in the anime because in the manhwa those side characters warrant written perfect the story just Focuses mostly on the main character it's not about the journey it's about the destination you follow the character through his struggles just like any other shonen MC that's why I actually like this character because character inspires you the most to go forward in life & hell anyone can relate to sung jin woo he is still no different from any other MC that's What Makes solo leveling interesting & great so to me the anime was not as good as the light novel💯💯💯💯
The thing you say was already in season two tho
@@uthgaming9526 & how is the show boring to you if the character story hasn't even affected you later on it pulls the heartstrings it's not about the journey it's about the destination you follow the character through his struggles just like any other shonen MC because either you delusional or you just have bad taste in picking which fictional character inspires you the most to go forward in life hell anyone can relate to sung jin woo he is still no different from any other MC that's What Makes solo leveling interesting & great to me that's reason why I find Sung jin woo an interesting character because he stands on business not like your MCs of today like Yuji Itadori crying because Sukuna destroy an entire city block💀🤦🏻♂️
@@uthgaming9526 if I watch something I want something to affect me either to inspire me to do something or pull the heartstrings sure solo leveling is not a masterpiece it just focus on a guy that once to earn good money so he can put a roof under his & sister head & pay his sister school balls, find a cure for his mom having a dangerous job where he needs to go into portals trying to provide for his family throwing himself into dangerous situations fighting against Monsters to make a living now see a lot of people can relate to that because a lot of people have struggles that they are going through financial problems now the only problem I have with solo leveling is that the side characters could've been written a little better either than that the manhwa & light novel is enjoyable to read

I think it is a really good video, but about the offer with the money he rejected it was not 3 billion dollars because the currency in she show is yen which is Korean money and it is only around 200 000 in dollars, and compared to the money he can get when he becomes S hunter and even national level hunter these 200 000 dollars are nothing
It’s actually 2 million, which I think makes my point still stand. But yeah that was my bad that I forgor the country lol
@@KumoBear12 I read solo leveling and most of the information about side characters is revealed later. I think the problem was just organising information in the correct order
Glad to see other people also realise it is hot garbarge.
People's defenses of it are insane. Everything they claim is good about it is done infinitely better in other shows.
You want a show about a character striving to the top while developing their character and abilities along the way? MHA does that
You want a show ehere a character's purpose is just to nebulously 'get stronger', DBZ does that with way more hype.
The reason these shows do those aspects better and with way more hype is because in Solo Levelling, he doesn't actually work for any of that stuff, it just gets handed to him. He doesn't do anything real to get stronger or have character growth, it just happens sometimes just so he doesn't lose.
There is nothing exciting about that and the show has no real stakes as a result. I have no investment in any of the characters. May as well be watching a group of brick walls
Bro stop

did you read the points or are you that incompatent
The show is a power fantasy with action, Solo leveling didn’t become the top dog from being “well written”. It’s all set up to make the main char as bad ass as possible. I just think you should read the WEBTOON. The series is goated I promise. Rn you are watching him complete the side quest but when he breezes through main story the hype is there. I see this season one as a setup season and I think it’s doing pretty well. You’re expectations where high and it didn’t blow you away and that’s okay. You should prob say YOU where disappointed instead because the general consensus is that it did it’s job very well and paid respect to the original media and added context where the WEBTOON didn’t.
The title is referring to my opinion, not the general consensus
okay, in the beginning, the anime shows the juju island raid, which is exclusive to both the anime AND the light novel. it’s not an anime only scene. but I do agree with you on everything else. the story is generic, but what makes this series so popular is the main character, sung jinwoo. if he did not have an entire army in his arsenal, solo leveling would be much worse. but one more thing, the part where he grabbed igris’s sword was possible because of his item that he had just obtained, which has a passive that doesn’t allow hand injuries. great video though dude, 9/10, would come again (1 point lost for jujutsu kaisen glaze 💀)
Thanks man! Would be nice if they told us about the passive tho, unless I’m forgetting. And jjk is fire man wdym😂
7:40 the point was, he would sell himself to be a minion from the company, for an amount of money he think will be able to do in ashorter amount of time than undefined, that's why he refused, and he agreed to make the 19 dungeons to farm lvls, not to make money, he need to get way stronger to solo the dungeon, and save the mother, while he's not strong, he needs $$$
The first scene was perfect if you've read the manwha. (the action scene in jeju) And allowed for an easy explanation of the world, you say they could just do the one piece route but that's just not what solo leveling is like so it's not comparable.
Jin-woo ISN'T EDGY, learn the meaning of the word please. His transformation was literally explained in the episode he transformed, his stats cause his body to change and that's a VERY big plot point for later in the story.
Jin-woo saving his mother is a reason for him to get stronger, not a goal, a motivation so he CAN save his mother, You saying the reason gons motivation is much better is because ging is shrouded in mysery and there are remarks about him throughout the story. But this is literally just jin-woo's mother.. It's NOT the whole goal of the show, so you don't need it to be like HxH.
You should just know that he's getting stronger for his mother, if you don't care watch something else. Jin-woo didn't accept jin-ho's offer of 30 billion won, because if he just keeps levelling up he could easily just earn that amount by himself so why bother the risk of publicity on his power? The show even tells you this.
Also you saying jin-woo doesn't seem to care about his mother himself is bs, he literally visits her like every other episode, but yeah you're right he doesn't care does he? I mean it's not like he's only getting stronger for her sake no? He doesn't need the 30 bill since he can already pay for her bills with the money he has, and as i said it puts him at risk to accept that deal to do 19 dungeons, Also the disease his mother has (Eternal slumber) IS UNCURABLE, so no matter how much money he throws at her it won't help! She aint gonna just stand up and start twerking because she's getting money payed for her sake. (joking around)
Ep 9, Kangs bad at his job? He called it a hobby as he's crazed, And how was he meant to know that the paths conversed and led to the same place?
Ep 11 has A LOT OF FORESHADOWING, so nothing in that fight was bs at all if you finish the manwha, everything and the reason behind certain events happening (especially in the igris fight) are explained and elevated on, so you shitting on the fight while knowing NOTHING of what it really was felt absurd lmao. Ep 11's fight truly is amazing at what it sets out to do, you only realise this VERY LATE into the story though, (I'm not trying to spoil anything), but calling that "jin-woo catching the sword because of course he does and then just kills the enemy he's been difficultly struggling with is bs" IS A LIE, Jin-woo pretended to be dead and igris was going to behead him for honour. Caught off guard from jin-woo catching his sword, he hesitates and let's jin-woo take the offensive on him and defeat him.
just incase you're still saying bs SPOILER WARNING!!! (Igris LET jin-woo beat him after holding back the whole fight, the moment jin-woo caught his sword he thought he was worthy due to his determination no matter the odds)
no more spoiler warnings now, The "random" side character throw-ins are very good character showcases that you'll care for a lot later in the show, And many of them are building a mini plot line leading to a huge story plot point, so they are shoving it down your throat for a good reason, you'll appreciate it later on.
The appeal for this show ISN'T THE "EDGY" MC, HE ISN'T EVEN EDGY, it's the growth of a lovable character which you'll understand later on (unless it just aint for you ofc) it's a show about determination and a lot more but if i say more i'll spoil.
Why are you comparing jjk a 40 + episode action show to a so far 12 episode action show? NO SHIT JJK HAS MORE ACTION, the first 12 episodes of jjk have way less action, and if anything are way worse in general (imo) same with ds and bleach (again, imo) Calling sl a bad action show but jjk a good one is hilarious to me but besides. Basing solo leveling off the first 12 episodes is just unjust, the first 12 episodes are mainly introductory to the world and some characters, the mysterious plot slowly will reveal itself throughout the show as it goes on, not trying to be a hate comment as yk, i put a lot of effort into this comment explaining why you're clearly just wrong. Still decent video with a lot of eh points, a lot of what you said just is plainly wrong but i'm not trying to hate. Have a good day or night if you bother reading this comment.
People might actually read it if you, you know, use paragraphs. As far as the series goes, it's just not that good, it's just a power fantasy for beta males that play too much vidya. It's not bad, not at all, it's just good, though the manwa art is pretty good.

@@KumoBear12 it gets better.
Read the light novel
just watched more of the video. Its clear to me that you didnt get all the info in the episodes. the reason he didnt accept the 30bil right away was because he didnt even know how his power would affect him nor did he know what might happen if he keeps leveling up. You seen in later episodes he now understands his power more and is confident enough to take on the contract. i just feel like you are expecting this show to be the best ever but your judging it off of its first season and arguably less than 25% of the plot. let it cook and those complaints will start dwindling down one by one. Also his main motivation to getting stronger is to save his mother yes, but he was always known as the worlds weakest huneter so he feels desperate to change his destiny. His other motivation is that the system forces him to do certain things even against his will. for example when he killed those criminal hunters in the dungeon. Just watch the show again and pay close attention to the dialogue. you clearly just missed some important info
“The system forces him to do certain things against his will” Then that’s not his motivation? That’s literally something he does not want to do
@@KumoBear12 You asked his motivation for leveling up, that basically is it for the beginning. If youve been paying attention, occasionally they drop subtle lore hints about how sung feels there is a mysterious and or familiar power behind the system and that he does not trust it. He also doesnt want to die, so ofc he has to get stronger, especially with S ranks hunting him down. Also His MAIN motivation above all else atm is to be the strongest simply because he was known as the weakest of all mankind. He despises his old weak self and wanted change. it may seem confusing but like i said, let it cook, your questions will be answered in the next couple seasons hopefully.
I think him wanting to be strong because he used to be weak is a pretty lame motivation for him to have. And if that is his motivation, I don’t think he expresses that want very much🤷♂️
@@KumoBear12 like I said, he has multiple different reasons for doing things that he does. There isn’t one clear motive behind every intention. How is it lame tho? Literally every other protagonist power shounen type anime has the mc sick of being weak so he wants to get stronger. Sure those premises are more survival or vengeful, but sung is literally just surviving. He has the money he just needs the power to stay safe, that’s why he constantly levels up, also he needs to get stronger to go back to the demon castle and collect the potion. I don’t see how it’s lame.
What are some examples of other shonen mc’s have that motivation? Naruto wants to be stronger because he wants to be the hokage, but being the hokage is his main goal. Eren wants to get stronger to kill the titans, but killing the titans is his main goal. Yuji wants to get stronger to help others. I’m a bit confused
