Not big ones, don’t worry.
Summary:
- The Solo Leveling adaptation has already made the story more enjoyable.
- Fans also want the anime to explore side characters more.
- S-rank hunters are especially interesting to the fans.
Even the most devoted Solo Leveling (Ore dake Level Up na Ken) manhwa fans seem to admit that the anime adaptation is going even better than the source it is based on. And they agree that small narrative changes are to be thanked for that.
The anime provides more explanation of certain parts of the story as well as changes the timeline to add suspense and make the series more enjoyable.
Fans have previously mentioned that important characters were introduced in the anime much earlier than they were in the manhwa, and this allows the viewers to build character attachment better. But what other changes do fans want to see in the adaptation?
More S-rank hunter content
Although Solo Leveling has enough action, readers agree that it would be incredible to see even more. They’re especially interested in S-rank hunters, since they’re the strongest in this universe, and their battles will be the most exciting to watch.
Cha Hae-In was briefly introduced in Episode 1, when she dealt with a couple of robbers and we’ve also seen bits of her in the next episodes, but fans crave more. Since she’s an S-rank, she must be incredibly powerful, and seeing this power explored more in the anime feels like a dream. The one that will come true, fans hope.
Liu Zhigang also seems like an extremely curious character. He’s the strongest hunter in China and the second strongest in the world, however we never see him fight in manhwa, and fans hope that the anime will fix it and will give Liu Zhigang his moment to shine.
Side characters and pacing
Other side characters also deserve more attention, manhwa readers think. It would be curious to learn more about their backstories and have some extra content and maybe even see them interact with Jinwoo more.
There’s also hope that the anime will keep working on the Solo Leveling pacing issues, since the story gets rather rushed after a certain point (no spoilers, don’t worry), and fans want more exploration and explanation.
A number of fans are also unsatisfied with the ending of the series and want the anime to change it at least a little bit. We highly doubt that such a significant change might be possible, but fans can hope, can’t they?
