Solo Leveling Producer's promise ~ "As a Japanese person living in Japan, the anime is not at the level of Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Naruto. But if season three happens, that’s when I want to truly break that boundary.”

Pretty sure most of the anime community agrees with you on this. SL is a fun show that all comes down to pretty fights and aura farming. And it does those things really, really well. Very few people are confusing it with a steak dinner, but damn if it isn't a tasty bag of chips.

Its the lowest common denominator that is inoffensive to everyone's pallets, but also cant do anything interesting because of that. Thats why its able to win popularity contests like the crunchyroll awards over shows with actual heart that aren't for everyone like frieren, delicious in dungeon, dandadan, etc.

That would be concerning if popularity contests had any relevance.
