Solo Leveling
Much like most novels on this site, this novel is uninteresting, unoriginal, generic and painfully predictable. The only complement I have is that this novel tries hard to be as utterly unoffensive as it can (to some success). I supposed you could find this entertaining if you treat it like how you would treat a low quality slice of life purely for the sake of killing time since despite not being a part of the slice of life genre, this novel has some similarities and almost feels like reading a slice of life. Amusingly, this novel seems to have less ups and downs than the average slice of life. At least when reading/watching a slice of life every now and then I could go "Whoa that supermarket arc was wild" but this on the other hand is entirely flat and unstimulating and the fact that I can quite literally predict what's going to happen next 100% of the time is a real "I'm not mad, just disappointed" moment. 0.75/5.
first thing first, how the f someone with unranked talent don't get seat? where the f they sit before getting the talent? floor? and why the teacher think it can help to motivate the student even thought evolving the talent is very hard, impossible even. the future is just a fking cliche over and over and over and over oh and over.
This story plot legit gave a stomachache. The guy doesn't even know the concept of low-key, he had to seize every chance to show off like a needy kid for attention , the most stupid thing is that he keeps lying and spitting nonsense without considering the consequences if he was found out ,yet everybody believes it like its normal without even trying to find out if its the truth. Even children books arent this naive .Fk ruined my day again.
I read until chapter 220 and that was all I could stand. The translation quality and grammar is fine, but there is no plot, no world building, no character development, nothing. Everything that happens in the story is completely convenient to the plot. Like for example, he needs some super rare thing to evolve his talent, and somehow he enters a random cave and finds that exact thing. This happens over and over again. Also, the author makes ZERO effort to develop any of the characters. Its almost as if all the characters are just there to create conflict; even the love interests. The worst part to me is that every plot point is dragged on and on and is so repetitive and boring. I don’t mind the same powerscaling bs and faceslapping, but this is just the same plot but repeated five times and that happens for every conflict in the story. Would not recommend.
The start of the story is pretty good and fun to read. But it is one of these stories where fights are described in detail whixh gets boring pretty fast. Later he goes to the best university in the country and then the story goes down pretty hard. All freshmen are scammed by older students and the teachers don't care? Multiple students attack a single one and the teachers don't care? All older students are bad people who steal, burn and try to kill and the teachers are either too stupid to realize or don't care? Really? What kind of elite university would have such students and such teachers? Not interesting to read any more.
do you think this story is worth double every other story on the site? do you want to pay more for less? do you want to be scammed? if you answered yes to all of these questions, LOOK NO FURTHER; THIS IS THE STORY FOR YOU. Originally a good story to follow, it takes what you can follow for free with every other story and says no, I'M WORTH TWICE STORIES THAT ARE BETTER AND MORE POPULAR THAN ME. Uh no. dropped.
A stupid novel. 1: HAREM (nonsensical harem with girls flocking to him) 2: getting what he needs at the moment from random chest rewards. 3: forced plot armors even though there was no need for them. 4: forced fortuitous moments like finding a rare plant that just happened to mature when MC is there. 5: Some people just having the talent/skills to heal or boost MC at critical moments when there was no mention of those skills before. It could have been a good novel, but author did not put in any effort.
This story had lots of potential until 1. author created a ridiculous plot armour that keep saving him in critical situations and the plot armour makes no sense 2. The main character have little emotion doesn’t 3. The main character is a saint who never kills those who wants to kill him 4. The academy makes no sense i feel that it holding him back he shouldn’t have join the academy 5. The story is repetitive for example there some crazy villain who are jelous of him and want to use everything in his power to destroy him but after heing defeated by the protagonist a few times the become protagonist underline which makes no sense as they have powerful backings who can literally destroy the protagonist 6. The villain are brain dead they have many ways to make mc suffer and destroy him but they chose the most idiotic way which is to fight him one by one head on I feel like the villain can kipnap his aunt and threaten him that would make it more interesting
