Crunchyroll Explores Rise of Solo Leveling in 2-Part Documentary
Feb 24, 2024 12:53 PM CST
THE LEVELING OF SOLO LEVELING goes from creation to worldwide premiere
Here’s something quite a bit on the funny side.
I loaded the recap episode, hoping it would make me understand the popularity of the show a bit better.
Crunchyroll refuses to load it.

Up to recap episode thoughts. Please take this as my own opinion and not trying to bash the show if you're enjoying it.
If we’re being truly honest, to me, the pacing is so bad that if you spliced all of the fight scenes and a bit more of the first two episodes and episode 7 into the recap, absolutely nothing of the story would have been lost.
Jinwoo feels like he has no personality at all, aside from wanting to be strong for his little sister, who is less one dimensional than the female cast of a hardcore Yaoi H-series, like The Titan’s Bride.
The rest of the supporting cast is either shown so little that you can’t get a read on their personas, meek like the guy in armor in episode 6, or WE’RE BAD GUYS!!! YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WE ARE UNTIL WE TURN ON THE MC!!!
As @Series5Ranger mentions above, Jinwoo significantly changes appearance, and while that’s not a bad thing in itself, and actually isn’t the only series this season that it happens to the MC, but it feels quite rushed if that makes sense. Like, he’s getting stabbed to death, then wakes up looking like a different person, and no one questions it. And I am going back to this one specifically, but a similar significant change in appearance happens in Cheat Skill In Another World, but at least people noticed he looks different…
But I’m going to finish this show, even if I have to slug through it, cause I started it, and it’s still better than CONCEPTION and Don’t Hurt Me, My Healer… Though not by much…
