Solo Leveling is an action-adventure story. A catastrophe that happened in the past connected our world to a world of terrifying monsters and mystical creatures. People needed to defend themselves, so special servants appeared on the guard of order, called Hunters. Each of them has special powers that depend on their individual abilities. Of course, there are both strong and weak fighters among them.

The protagonist of Solo Leveling, Jin-Woo, is one of the weakest. He makes ends meet by running the simplest tasks. Working at a dangerous job, he earns money to pay for his mother's treatment. The protagonist doesn't do well, but everything changes when on one of the tasks being at death he gets a special ability that allows him to increase his level, which is called System.

After hearing rumors about the Korean characters changing their nationality to Japanese in the adaptation, fans were worried over other possible changes. They suggested that changing the location of the main events is a major move that could seriously alter the plot of the original story.

Now, there are no exact details about the upcoming release. Everything fans have right now are numerous rumors and trailers, which, by the way, don't have any Korean name changes. The issue may be that not all Japanese were happy with the fact that the original story portrayed their homeland as an antagonistic country, and most of the villains and secondary characters are Japanese. And since A-1 Pictures is responsible for the production, it would be strange if they didn't want to change things.

Besides, it is said that Solo Leveling already has an alternative version, which is sold only in Japan. In this version, the main character is Japanese, the events take place in Japan instead of South Korea, and the villains are members of a fictional nation.

Some fans are still uncertain about the possibility of changes. Therefore, many assume that if changes are made, they will affect only the Japanese audience, and viewers in other countries will see the project as it was originally conceived.
