Solo Leveling (Ore dake Level Up na Ken) has just started airing, but people are already having heated debates over it. Can’t say it’s unexpected, though, since this anime was highly anticipated by fans.
Episode 1 was rather boring
The main criticism the series is facing right now is connected to the plot of the first episode. Let’s call a spade a spade and acknowledge that it was unexciting.
There weren’t many things happening, and the main conflict wasn’t established. The ending was promising, though, as it gave us a hint at something more interesting to come.
That’s why so many fans suggested that they should have premiered the series with two episodes or an hour special. After all, this is exactly how it was during the European premiere in December, so A-1 Pictures understands that Solo Leveling needs more than 20-something minutes to catch a viewer’s attention.
Did you enjoy the first episode?
It gets better
Those who have read the web novel or webtoon, on which the anime adaptation is based, beg others to keep watching the series, though. They say that the second episode will be much better and this is the part where the real story begins.
Still, some suggest that even the second episode won’t be enough for a number of people. They’re not worried about the next episode, but the ones after that might make some viewers want to drop the series.
The point is that a big portion of Solo Leveling feels quite generic. Readers don’t say that it’s a bad series, no, but they don’t think the story will provide anything you’ve never seen before.
But there are still high expectations about the anime adaptation. Everything that’s been shown so far looks very promising, and fans hope to see some extra content to expand the story and make Solo Leveling better until the peak moment arrives that will make you fall in love with the series.
So readers are asking you to give Solo Leveling a chance, because it is a great project and definitely worth your attention. You just have to give it some time and try to be patient. And, they say, you won’t be disappointed.
