The production quality of Solo Leveling is rather high.
The studio makes small adjustments to make the adaptation better than the original source.
However, the main story remains the same.
Despite Solo Leveling (Ore dake Level Up na Ken) being quite a new series, it’s already received a lot of criticism for having a slow start and an underwhelming story.
But there are still hundreds of fans who really enjoy the series, and the manhwa readers are among them, as they say that the adaptation is done in a very satisfying way.
The most obvious thing that still needs to be mentioned is the way Solo Leveling looks. The production quality of the adaptation is really high, and it goes for everything: major scenes and seemingly unimportant ones.
The studio thinks like the readers
Fans have noticed a very interesting detail: A-1 Pictures is trying to think like readers when adapting the series. The studio seems to be very passionate about Solo Leveling and wants to provide the best possible experience for the viewers, and it’s noticeable.
Manhwa readers have been saying for a long time that Solo Leveling is not a masterpiece. It’s a good story. One that can be easily enjoyed. But you will not find any revelations in it, and there’s a good chance it won’t be among your Top 5, or even 10 series of all time.
Slight adjustments make the experience better
A-1 Pictures seems to be very well aware of this. They see the flaws in the scenario and try to fix them to improve the viewers’ experience. New scenes are added to the anime adaptation, and they flow together much better than they did in the manhwa.
Unimportant characters who just take screen time without adding anything to the story are removed from the adaptation, and the focus is shifted towards the more crucial ones. For example, Cha appears much earlier in the adaptation than she was supposed to.
And still, the main story remains the same, which is also important. The studio is not trying to rewrite the script completely. We all know how outraged fans get when that happens (yes, Tokyo Ghoul fans, we remember you). But A-1 Pictures stays respectful to the original source and just tries to make it better.
That’s why fans think the Solo Leveling anime has all the chances to become a big hit this season, and perhaps even this year. This is the way to make an adaptation of a, frankly speaking, mid manhwa, and take it to another level (pun intended).
Is this how an adaptation is supposed to be done?
