This anime has been popular since it came to light, with some Manhwa fans worried before its adaptation, but A-1 Pictures far exceeded expectations, and its second season even attracted more attention than the first season.

As soon as the first episode of the series was aired, fans knew that Solo Leveling would become a hit. Animated by A-1 Pictures, the series boasts high-quality visuals and exciting fight scenes that have been liked by both diehard fans and those who never even knew about the Manhwa. Its gameplay-like features integrated into real life are rooted in the role-playing genre, which many fans love, and a main character that is unforgettable—this has made the series a worldwide hit.
Crunchyroll revealing that Solo Leveling was the most-watched anime of 2024 was quite obvious at this point. The second season has also proved more popular with viewers than any other series released this year, with every episode being rated an 8 or higher and has also continued to trend into its second season, so it is fair to conclude that the show has surpassed expectations. The adaptation has also received positive criticism for being as close as possible to the source material, which has built up excitement among fans.
The System Uses Me, and I Use the System.
There are many reasons that are considered to be the causes of such massive popularity of the manga series. However, the main would be the protagonist of the story, Sung Jinwoo. This personal change of the hunter in the series from being the weakest hunter on mankind to an unstoppable force makes many of the series' viewers excited and motivated. The leveling system that simulates the progress of the anime’s protagonist is very reminiscent of an RPG game, and therefore, audiences have something to look forward to while getting more involved in the story.
