But that’s a different plot than Solo Leveling, and in particular, a female rather than male power fantasy. (Social control vs individual strength.)
Your criticism that Solo Leveling isn’t something it wasn’t meant to be is strange.
- glandium 2y agoHeck, it's even in the title that the story is about leveling.
- dragontamer 2y agoBecause literally every mainstream anime, Sword Art Online. Attack on Titan, Fate/Heavens Feel arc, Reincarnated as a Slime, Jobless Reincarnation, I'm a Spider So What?, Overlord, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia.... Does these story beats better. ----- The number of anime that goes in the direction of Weakest Tamer is ... much fewer. A bit of variety and branching out is nice. I'm not even sure what in Solo Leveling sets it apart that all the other shows didn't do better. I can say that Overlords focus on leadership / kingsctaft is next to none. Slime's leadership and optimism sets it apart from Overlord even if Overlord does the leadership thing better. Demon Slayer has better animation. Sword Art Online came out first and was freshest (there were older Isekai but not this Solo Leveling type aloneness / level up grind). Spider So What was one of the most compressed boss raid stories with the shear number of fights being quite impressive.
