Solo Leveling has proven itself to be a revolutionary series for manhwa-based stories. Despite receiving an anime adaptation in Japan by A-1 Pictures, Sung Jinwoo's story was not based on a Japanese manga, but rather a South Korean web novel and manhwa series by the original creator, Chugong. Solo Leveling’s unprecedented success in Japan and overseas has only helped open the door for many more brilliant series to be animated and brought to life in the future.
