Solo Leveling manhwa had more humorous moments than the anime.
This more serious approach is praised by the viewers.
They still hope to see some humor in the future.
The Solo Leveling (Ore dake Level Up na Ken) anime has been a great adaptation of the source material so far, as the readers keep telling us. It manages to remain faithful to the manhwa and yet fix minor pacing issues to make the story flow better and be clearer to the viewers.
And one of the changes that fans have noticed in the adaptation is the lack of humor.
More humor in the manhwa
Hilarious moments were never the focus of Solo Leveling, and the events that happen in the story don’t leave much room for gags and comic relief, that’s for sure. However, the manhwa had a couple of such moments, and the anime cut them out of the adaptation.
It’s not anything crucial like long comedic sequences, but the manhwa had some anime-typical funny faces, like, for example, Jinho’s disgusted reaction to what was happening in Episode 6 of the series. The anime kept this scene humorless and completely serious.
It’s good but…
A lot of fans were pleasantly surprised by this. They love the idea of keeping the storytelling in Solo Leveling mature and leaving all those typical comedic moments out of the adaptation. Let’s leave weird humor to Marvel movies.
Some people think, though, that these moments will come later in the story. A-1 Pictures has to establish Solo Leveling as a serious and adult series first, and then they can add some amusing things.
That’s why, fans think, the adaptation is trying so hard to be even more gruesome than the original material with its brutal violence and lack of censorship. And the viewers are loving it!
Right now the main focus is Jinwoo’s character development, and it’s important to show that things are changing, and he is turning into one of the best hunters in the world from a goofy weakling. No time for comedy just yet.
However, there’s also hope that humor will come to the series in the future. Readers say there are numerous chibi moments later in the manhwa, and while the chibi style feels like something weird to be added to such a series like Solo Leveling, there’s still belief that there are ways of adding a bit of humor into the picture.
A mature and serious way of storytelling is always welcomed, but we can’t have 100% of blood and pain and 0% of light-hearted moments. They’re also important for pacing balance as well as for building character attachment.
Is it better this way, though?
