For those unfamiliar with the series, Solo Leveling follows the journey of Sung Jinwoo, initially known as the "World's Weakest Hunter." In a world where humans with supernatural abilities called Hunters protect mankind from deadly monsters, Jinwoo struggles to survive. His fate changes dramatically when he's chosen by a mysterious System as its sole player, granting him the unique ability to level up in strength beyond known limits. The manhwa's compelling storyline, coupled with its stunning artwork by artists Gi So-Ryeong and Jang Sung-Rak, contributed to its global success.
