After today's broadcast, it was announced on the official
site for the anime adaptation of the webtoon “ Solo Leveling ”
that the broadcast on February 24 will be a compilation episode. Consequently,
the broadcast of the eighth episode has been delayed until March 2.
It is unnatural for a compilation episode to be broadcast so early in a series , although there is always the possibility that it was previously scheduled either for a transition in the plot of the work or to adjust the schedule to the established number of episodes. However, considering the track record of A-1 Pictures studios in terms of poor production schedules that lead to delays (as happened with “ NieR:Automata Ver1.1a “, “ 86: Eighty-Six “, among others), obviously “Solo Leveling” fans are more than concerned with this announcement. Will it be the beginning of a bigger problem?
It should be remembered that the Crunchyroll platform is
responsible for its distribution in the West. For its part, Chugong published
the original novels through KakaoPage between July 2016 and
March 2018, with a total of fourteen volumes. A webtoon adaptation was
published since March 2018 through KakaoPage by Jang
Sung-rak and ended in December 2021.
Synopsis of Solo Leveling
Since a portal appeared that connects our world to
another full of monsters and creatures of all kinds, some people have acquired
powers and the ability to hunt them, obtaining the name of hunters. The protagonist,
Sung Jin-woo, is the weakest of the E-rank hunters and barely stronger than a
normal human. He is nicknamed by his fellow hunters as “the weakest.” One day,
he and others find themselves trapped in an extremely dangerous dungeon, and
only a few survive and manage to escape. Sung Jin-woo himself barely survives
and is the only one who completes all the tests in this dungeon, becoming a
“player”, now being able to see an interface that shows him missions,
statistics, inventory, stores and levels. Will he manage to level up to become
the most powerful hunter?
