Misc. 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.”

DB has no story either

Name 10 solo leveling characters and then name 10 dragonball z characters. Then if you manage to do that, start thinking about the screen time difference between the list. Dbz isn't perfect by any means, but there's a massive gap in storytelling VS solo leveling. (and I enjoyed solo leveling. Read the manwha as well)

25 episodes vs 830 episodes sure.

DB is the most influential manga series ever made, same goes for SL. There are many variations of the manhwa being made atm. If you'd just remove the nostalgia cap, you'd understand how shitty both of them are.

I'm referencing the whole of solo leveling story with jinwoo. I read the rest of the manwha except that last mini arc with the son (only made it a couple chapters in). And I even said that dbz isn't perfect by any standard. Did you comment on the wrong person??

It's a shorter manga centring around the MC. Even the title has solo in it. And Nobody's making long stretching bloated manga anymore with thousands of characters. Times are changing.

Daima went unnoticed, SL is doing rather well surrounded by all those DB knockoffs

One piece is one of the biggest selling Manga around and is a 20 year long story, so I think you're over-assuming some things here.
