Solo Leveling - Vol. 1 Ch. 53

[Goshtic]

Our MC already fought an S rank threat before, didn't he? Wasn't the Hellhound stronger than any of these atm? He has always fought hopeless battles, but only to come out victorious due to weakness exploitation.

arise chicken, chicken arise!

 

[Ashah]

Will Kim chul come back with his shield? Stay tuned

Fuck fuck fuck fuck...
I've been thinking, I don't think I've ever been that exited about the actual battles in a manga/manhwa in a long time... if ever.
Yeah, the MC is OP as fuck, but he actually uses strategy and cunning, he's not just trying to overpower everything with the magic of "friendship" or "determination", he actually does the work.

Damn this Manhwa, fucking beautiful art (and in full color), awesome dynamic fight scenes, interesting story, awesome villainous MC.
And that MC is fucking awesome. Won't abandon friends, but won't hesitate to kill. Doesn't feel the need to share fuckall until necessary. Won't kill humans, unless they try to kill him (even if he sometimes nudges them to do so, like in this chapter).
The author plays with tropes without being too predictable and keeps an insane release schedule of one long ass, full color chapter per week. And the novel has more than 250 chapters ?
The only complain I have is that the background cast may be a bit bland, but that could change for the better quickly. And that "system" story seems really interesting!

Damn, I'm loving this!

Whelp, what a twist. I hope that the Arise skill will succeed in the next chapter. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!!!

 

[Aereus]

@SheikDaGod IMHO even though they appear sentient, they're still merely NPCs generated by the system. When presented with a logic fault it "crashes" and does a small rewind resulting in repeating the last dialogue.

@Zeus
Really? It's pretty simple. Why would he release one of his knights / bears that have been steadily leveling up and getting stronger for the last 5 days on all the ice bears in the forest, for a completely untrained Ice Elf?

 

[Kanie15]

gotta add that A rank idiot to his list~

 

[okayokayokay]

@Goshtic I don't think so, but your point still remains. Ultimately, this manhwa is a conglomeration of OP MC, slightly edgy MC, and kinda isekai tropes (Born into a different role; massive increase in powers for a contrived reason is more or less the same). However, the art is fantastic, and in an action manga/manhwa/manhua, that's about all you can ask for. Honestly, as long as there is no harem, I'll keep reading this shit

 

[szocs08]

I really hope someone will call him out on the fact that, bringing people, real people, back from the dead as your slaves is not really cool. I mean it is f-ing cool, but not that ethical. ?

 

[deSolAxe]

Muhaha

can't wait for next chapter...

also really hope that after he deals with the elf guy, he'll get another powerfull shadow.
One has to appreciate that this really follows the basics of army building as necromancer...
getting stronger and stronger minions and using their numbers to swarm stronger and stronger targets...
I'm just hoping that with rising levels the number of shadows, he can control and keep, will keep rising...

I'm really enjoying this... I really hope he gets attacked by that S ranked douche the moment he gets out...

btw is this original or novel adaptation? if novel... is there a place where one can read something that isn't mtl?

 

[Serkket]

@deSolAxe
It's available on comrademao.

 

[ultraleaf]

Shit started to glitch gotta - ask the right questions( I, robot )

 

[firosahoge]

tsk tsk tsk, scrolled through comments and didn't even see pictures of the waifu ?

sad days when ur waifu is terrified. Must protecc.

 

[firosahoge]

when da waifu forgets all her fears because shes worried about her husbando ?

 

[Kronous]

kekekekek, dat's ma boi

 

[GodHimself]

I swear, when I saw that dagger, I knew that Sung Jin-Woo would kill that elf, and add the dagger to his harem of daggers

 

[Wolvenworks]

@GodHimself you can never have enough stabbers

 

[ninjadork]

Now that's really interesting. As soon as the ice elf deviated from the script, something reached down and forcibly re-wrote him, like a computer programmer writing out a bug.

Now for the real questions; is the entity or force that re-wrote the ice elf the same entity that turned our MC into a "player"? Or is it a different entity that opposes our mystery re-programmer? And if the second possibility is correct, was the MC's gaming pimp the one responsible for implementing the red gate? And was the red gate specifically implemented to protect the MC from that shiterag S rank hunter?

 

[litium]

@ninjadork Interesting theory however, as for the red gate, I'd say it's more of a coincidence. Just like when the "weakest hunter" join you the chances of having a hard gate are lower, I think this happened cuz the party power was too much for a C gate thus resulting in the red gate appearing. 1 A rank and 7 B rank if I remember well + MC. It seems a lil' overkill.
