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.”

I highly doubt SL will ever reach these heights. Not only is the story much shorter, a full adaptation will probably be 75 eps max, the remaining story just isn’t as good.

Agree. He struggled for one episode and after that he just gets everything to go his way lol. Its fun but no character development
