Having been a devoted fan of the manhwa for several years, I eagerly anticipated the release of a well-executed adaptation. However, I must admit that I find myself rather disappointed. It's possible that my expectations were simply too high, but the reality is that I am left feeling underwhelmed. If you are eagerly anticipating this series, I implore you to bypass the anime and instead immerse yourself in the manhwa. Trust me, you'll have a far more fulfilling experience that way.
The studio is dragging the ever living sh*t out the series with many extra scenes which i believe to be mostly unnecessary. To elaborate on this, scenes like the jeju island which is supposed to be introduced far later in the series due to a surprise discovery of the ant but was introduced in literally the first frame of the anime, then there were scenes such as the tea meetup of the female members from the white tiger and hunter guild, they were talking about characters who are supposed to be introduced far later in the series, resulting in no purpose of that scene even existing. However i do have some mixed emotions for a couple of scenes, such as sung not trusting jinho in their chat for the 19 raids, which illustrated the trust issues sung had in others but when u look at the manhwa, sung begins to trust jin ho since the dungeon where he tries to protect sung.
Secondly, the chin-woo made me consider almost dropping the series but i gave it another chance, hoping for it to bounce back and prove me wrong and thats is why review is sort of late. But now i've lost all of hope in this adaptation. It's still unbelievable that the studio that by, not once but twice, the majority of ep 8 was covered with huge ass chins.
However, i wont ignore the good eps, they drop actual cinematic fights every 3 eps or so, and they're very enjoyable for the 2 minutes they last, so it is "good" for "some "eps.
There are indeed alot of consumers who love to get character development early on and enjoy these extra scenes, and i wouldnt really hate this either if the season was a little longer than just 12 eps. Where god of highschool had a problem in the fast pacing, solo leveling went too slow.
(lastly, its just a personal opinion ubt i think echo by the boyz is a better op than the current one for this series, i hope they try to get it for the 2nd season)
