How can badly written media like Solo Leveling - be so popular despite its inferior writing?
Watched S1 of Solo leveling - pretty good.
Watched what came out of S2 so far. Getting worse.
Decided to read the web comic to see where this goes and holy s**t!
This series has to have the worst, cliche, uninspired writing I came across in a long long time.
Its full of plot holes. People that were relevant get discarded as fodder within a few chapters. The MC is the most OP character since like Ainz or Beerus or I dont know.
Jinwoo had exactly four mayor fight where he struggled. Against the D rank Snake, the C Rank Spider the B rank Cerberus and A rank Igris. After that he just continued to destroy everyone with low or mid difficulty.
He jumped from the weakest of the weak to the strongest of the strong within 4-5 months. He has so many hax its just ridiculous. He also gets taller and more handsome, everyone loves and looks up to him.
He also never abuses his power for evil because hes just soo good.
And of course after winning, he can just reverse time, in order to win even better!
He also gets a super happy ending timeline because he is so awesome!
And dont get me even started on the Monarch/Ruler conflict. Its clear this was taken from the bible and sold as something epic and deep, while its the most convoluted and confusing thing imaginable.
Like the Rulers won the conflict several times but they still reversed time dozens of times because Earth was too damaged? Why would these guys care? They just killed the Supreme Being.
They allow Jinwoo to reverse time, although he just won against the monarchs with the least damage to Earth so far?
Jinwoo just slaughters the monarchs despite them retaining their memories and having years to prepare for him? The shadow king just betrays the rulers to go to the monarchs to be betrayed by them to once again support the rulers? What the hell is going on?
I read that this was rated as a 3/10 web novel before it got a comic/anime. I mean the art looks cool, but this should be nowhere near enough to catapult this trash from a 3/10 to an 8/10.
How can something this badly written be so popular?
