Power fantasy/wish fulfillment LN of a low rank/level character that progressively turns into an OP MC in a non isekai but kind of isekai (ie gamified) world and I honestly really REALLY enjoyed it. I had just come off of finishing the manhwa and couldn't get enough so went straight into the light novel.

Solo Leveling Sequel Debuts With 100+ Chapters". Anime. Archived from the original on April 11, 2023 . Retrieved April 11, 2023. Book 1 of Solo Leveling focuses primarily on Sung Jinwoo’s development – how he got these leveling skills and his initial explorations to figure out what the hell is going on. Naturally, there’s a lot of focus on the System (aka the RPG UI interface) he interacts with as he learns. We don’t go too heavy on the guilds or really into other supporting characters, which might read strangely to Western readers unfamiliar with webnovels, but keep in mind the full story has 240+ chapters and we’re only getting the first 12 or so!

I've read the german edition so I'll continue it in german, but for those of you who don't know - I didn't - it is available in english!Solo Leveling is a manhwa adaptation—illustrated by Gi So-Ryeong (기소령) and Jang Sung-Rak (장성락)—of a completed series of light novels with the same title that’s written by Chu-Gong. The official blurb from the light novel did a great job of explaining the premise without spoiling anything, so I’ll copy it here:

Side characters:The dynamic between him and Yoo was so entertaining , such a brotherly affection where one is so utterly taken by the other and he acts so cool abt it Just like jin woo , am I compatible with people who have clumsy personalities or somthing ? LMAOOO YES .Hunter cha and Baek have such potential . Cha is so pretty and cute and not prideful at all , Hope Im smelling some romance in the air when it comes to her ;) As for Baek he's a smart one and for some reason I find myself liking him a b Komatsu, Mikikazu (September 10, 2023).

I think the MC think only power and fighting, I don't think the last ending he will change the world only for "Her". The author gives you action, mystery; a plot that made us want to know more, and romance (sightly comedy and sooo lovely) I don't think later volumes of this series are on Goodreads (I believe there are 5), but I got most of the way through the series before giving up. I felt like we just kept going around on the merry-go-round, and I got off on what I assume was the end of the second to last round. I didn't want to go through another 6 hours to see the same thing again, but this time with a stronger boss monster after what little mystery there was had been solved, but unsatisfactorily with hand waving away the parts of the system that didn't fit the resolution. Some people experienced this "Awakening" and were given the title of "Hunter". These Hunters possess supernatural abilities and are more powerful than an average human — Superhero vibes Level Up Alone (6)]. Naver Book Database (in Korean).

The story in Solo Leveling could be said to be quite unoriginal and tropey, but regardless I was hooked and went out of control binge-reading it. It took over all my reading attention for about a day and half, and even now I couldn't stop thinking about it. Set in a world where Gates that connect to Dungeons of monsters started appearing, certain powers have awakened in some of the human race to enable them to fight these monsters. The humans who fight monsters are called hunters, who are grouped into raids and divided into roles like tanks, damage dealers, mages and healers.For the most part it was a standard rpg book and the system annoyed me with the constant stat updates. There was also the sound effects which was probably what I remembered most about this book. They did get annoying but some of them were funny. Sayyed, Rayan (April 3, 2023).

I do recommend reading it over listening to the audiobook though. I know some people enjoyed it, but the added sound effects of the narrator took me out of the story, so much so I ended up buying the ebook to read instead, I know some people liked the audiobook version but it wasn't for me, personally. I also do recommend reading the manhwa first as well.
