In a recent discussion thread on one of Japan's most popular
forums, users have been hotly debating the possible reasons behind the
apparent lack of popularity of the anime adaptation of “ Solo Leveling . ” Despite
high expectations and anticipation from fans, the series seems not to capture
the attention of the public in the way that was expected.
To make matters worse, it has been announced that the next episode of “Solo Leveling” will be delayed to make way for a compilation, which has generated even more concern among fans. This delay is considered a bad sign, especially coming from studios A-1 Pictures , who have already experienced similar situations with previous projects such as “ NieR Automata Ver 1.1a ” and “ 86: Eighty-Six “.
News of the delay has further fueled debate online, with
many fans expressing their disappointment and concern about the future of the
series. Despite everything, some fans continue to hold out hope that
“Solo Leveling” can recover and reach its full potential in future episodes:
- " It's
like seeing Kirito again, I don't see the point ."
- « The
battle with Cerberus was not interesting .»
- « The
anime media has done everything to boost the popularity of this series,
but there have been no good results .»
- " The
first half of the story was interesting, but eventually it turns into the
same thing we've seen in other series ."
- « The
reviews are bad simply because a story like that is no longer interesting .»
- " I've
only seen a video of the anime, I don't have much idea what it's about,
but when you read the description you can't help but compare it to Sword
Art Online ."
- « In
South Korean manhwa stories, there is a constant of characters who were
physically and verbally abused in the past becoming super powerful. It has
been seen so much that it is already boring to see .
- « Although
Solo Leveling was original and interesting in its time, I think that by
2015, many similar stories that came later did get their anime. They took
too long to animate Solo Leveling, they missed the opportunity .
- " It's
much better than any light novel with broken characters, it's a shame they
didn't think of animating it at least five years ago ."
- « It
is the power fantasy that we have seen endlessly. Maybe Solo Leveling did
it first in its time, but for the anime world it came quite late .
- « I
have read the original story and I know what is going to happen in the
anime. I stopped watching it after four episodes without having any
special opinion, it didn't seem interesting to me .
- « With
just one episode, Arifureta is much more interesting than this .»
- « I
think it's the best-selling manhwa in history and I didn't expect it to be
going so unnoticed now that it became an anime. I don't think I've even
seen it enough to have an opinion .
- « It
is simply an anime that is more appreciated outside of Japan than inside.
Even if they changed the name and the settings to seem more Japanese, they
couldn't withstand nationalism .
- « The
status and quest screens are in English, not Japanese, so if you haven't
seen the manga, you won't understand it at all .»
- « Like
any story of a broken protagonist, the interesting thing is only at the
beginning .»
