나 혼자만 레벨 업 1 [Solo Leveling] Novel

2016, Jang Sung-Lak

4.6/5

“This isn't a coincidence or good will. This is what the system needs. A strong Sung Jin-Woo.”Solo Leveling is about Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter, also known as the “World’s Weakest”. Even though he was really weak, he has to earn money by fighting in low-leveled dungeons therefore endangering himself to be able to care for his sister and to pay for his mother's medical bills. During one of the raids, they encountered a Double Dungeon which resulted to him almost dying but was saved due to receiving a strange power.This is the first light novel (or light novels in this case, 14 to be exact) I’ve ever read and I can say that I have no regrets. Originally, the manga version of this book/s was referred by my brother who usually never reads. I gave it a try and became hook with the story and drawing style, but since the manga is still ongoing then light novel it is.I loved the plot of the story being from zero to OP (overpowered) MC. Although he did receive an ability which made him so strong, you could still see how his powers developed over time. I also loved that the author avoided doing some of those clichéd elements of this genre such as: the MC having a harem (he did have girls liking him but you can see that he’s not entertaining them)the system which the MC uses is not over complicated (it is pretty straightforward with leveling up)the MC is a Mary Sue (meaning the main character was not perfect)I also loved how the story arcs in the story were well defined and have been concluded properly. Although it may feel like a never ending race of having to fight beings after another, I think the author planned it with the development of the story and the character in mind. For me, it is the type of book that makes you not want the story to end as you’ve spent some time invested and has become attached to the characters.The ending of the story might be seen as unsatisfying by others but I think that it fits really well with the personality of the main character. Overall, I think that this book is an easy read and is definitely an interesting story.
