Solo Leveling may have exploded out of nowhere – but its surge in popularity should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention in recent months.
Back in March, Solo Leveling became the most-reviewed show on Crunchyroll, with over 600,000 ratings. Its compilation film Solo Leveling: ReAwakening – which provided a tease of the then-upcoming second season – grossed a healthy $3.3 million at the US box office, even with a limited screening.
Essentially a shonen on steroids, Solo Leveling follows the journey of Sung Jinwoo, a low-ranked Hunter who manages to claw his way up the monster-slaying totem pole thanks to the assistance of The System, a mysterious program that allows him to level up.
I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
