It has a much deeper story, and the characters are more well-rounded. Solo Leveling is renowned for its animation quality, but frankly, Lord of Mysteries is just as good, if not better. Furthermore, Lord of Mysteries has already been renewed for several seasons and a movie.

The anime follows the story of Klein Moretti, who tries to find the answer to many important questions. However, Klein's path is riddled with many impediments, and he must overcome them to uncover the secrets and grow stronger.
