What is Solo Leveling?
Solo Leveling is a Korean web novel series, also known as manhwa, written by Chu-Gong and illustrated by Jang “Dubu” Sang-rak of Redice Studio.
In a modern world where humans can possess magical abilities and become hunters, a lowly E-rank hunter named Sung Jin-woo struggles to pay his mother’s hospital bills.
Despite garnering a reputation of being the world’s weakest hunter, he makes an honest wage by frequently joining dungeon raids.
After his party left him for dead in a dangerous double lair, Jin-woo accidentally completed a secret quest, which earned him the right to become a “player”, a special role that allows him to clear dungeons, obtain quests, and raise his stats by himself.
