Solo Leveling Anime's Biggest Differences From Manhwa

What changes have fans noticed?

Summary:

  • There are small changes that the adaptation is making to the original story.
  • They fix the pacing and explain character motivation better.
  • Jinwoo seems much more likable in the adaptation.

The Solo Leveling (Ore dake Level Up na Ken) anime has been praised for being an incredible adaptation of the manhwa since the first episode of the series came out.

Minor changes

Fans have noticed multiple changes that have been made, and they're enjoying them a lot. They say the pacing of the series feels better in the adaptation, and the way A-1 Pictures is approaching the story is incredible. But what changes are they talking about?

It seems like Episode 7 of the series was the one with the most changes so far, and one addition that fans really liked was how the anime showed Jinwoo still thinking about what happened in Episode 6.

He's more human in the adaptation

He had to kill human hunters to save his life and get out of the dungeon, and this was the first time Jinwoo dealt with actual people, and not monsters.

The fact that he was still thinking about having human blood on his hands showed that he cared, and it wasn't as easy for him as it might have looked. On top of that, he pointed out how much he cared about his and his family's survival, which, fans say, fits his character very well.

There are other small details that hint at the fact that Jinwoo is not a heartless person, he truly cares about his family and wants the best for them. The manhwa tried to portray him as an edgy fighter, who ignores his sister and her concerns. However, in the anime adaptation Jinwoo acts in a warmer way towards her and ensures her that he's going to be okay.

Fans also mention that later events in the manhwa do make Jinwoo look kind-hearted and caring, but it feels more natural in the anime, since he's like that straight from the beginning.

A similar thing happened during his conversation with Jinho, where Jinwoo refused his C-rank-raids proposal. The manhwa makes Jinwoo look heartless and even villany in this moment, while the anime shows his critical thinking and logical side.

Mother's illness

Other characters also feel better in the adaptation. When Jinwoo was discussing the money with his sister in the manhwa she seems to completely forget about her mother's illness and talks about saving the money and buying a bigger house. While in the anime her mom is always on her mind, which is very in character.

And speaking about their mother's illness, there's one more thing worth mentioning. In episode 7 Jinwoo entered an S-rank dungeon to get the Elixir of Life, which he hopes to use to save his mom. But in the manhwa he goes there just to become stronger.
