Hang in there.

I can't assume your friend knew you'd catch up so quickly... but they should've at least said "ready slowly so a few more chapters can pop up by the time you arrive at the latest chapter" or some something along those lines.
I do avoid this problem when handing out recommendations, personally, by just recommending completed manhwa; like Trinity Wonder or Villain Unrivaled.

Casually reminding us how good of an actor he is. Nat 20 on deception checks all around.

Just look at this innocent-looking baby face.

New sword to replace the old one that broke, Shade Phoenix Sword, GET!

I'm like 80% lost when it comes to the whole sanskrit thing, but I do understand swords.

Well, he has finally decided to take action. He was kinda just... letting things happen while he sat around and watched; not particularly caring.

Hyperspeed? More like ZA WARUDO!

Ah, small revenge while riling up the entire city.

"Hey are you gonna heal them?"
Man with all the dragon balls:

Poor guy. He is dependent on her... not that I can blame him exactly. He spent 30 years under her care where he couldn't operate without her. Sure he might've weened off of her as he grew, but he spent 8 years without her. It's torture.

She should've said proper goodbyes.

Gotta say, she can't use magic all that much... and yet she was able to jump around and parkour the night before... hmmm...

All the comments are like "Jeff did nothing wrong." I don't disagree, tbh.

Man didn't age a day in nearly a decade.

Eight years. He hid her successfully for eight years. There are five archmages after her and she was hidden successfully for eight years. Yes, I'm trying to emphasize that time frame. He did a fantastic job. Good job duke.

Well, that was fast.

Opinions are opinions, man.
All opinions are weird - yes including the ones that just go with what's popular.

In the defense of Solo Leveling, not that your opinion is wrong -> it was rushed starting season 2. There should've been more moments of downtime where the main character gets to just... be human.
All of that, plus a lot of dungeons, were completely cut from the manhwa. You can find them in the novel though.

Why? The author was sick... very sick... and he rushed the series due to his condition and the "big guys up top" did not care at all... despite all his effort, he did die before Solo Leveling was complete. Rest in peace. I heard that his death did bring about some reform in how manhwa artists are treated, so they are treated better than before.

Shame we don't get to see his full face of disappointment.

I'm quite amused by how the combat is giant cylindrical stones bonking each other.

You can, if you're bored, photoshop in cans of soda for the lulz.

Well, I almost called it. He took his arms and the sword, not his head. Good enough. lol

I reread this chapter and ya know, not enough attention is given to Dame Serejia in the comments here. She is like "do crime, just don't get caught" and I find it hilarious. She isn't remotely upset that he technically did crime but she's upset that he got caught. It's also kinda cute.

WHO'S HUNGRY?

2/2
The isekai is anti-original > they journey they go on is long and they eventually kill the demon king. They meet up with people, make allies and get along as if they're new family members that they grow attached to -> and there is zero character growth... U wot m8? These kids end up exactly where they start, but with stupid power scaling that is at the whims of the author's "because I say so."

If you had to spent MONTHS with people in life and death situations as you advance to kill a demon king, you will change as a person. Adults will come out as vastly different people, let alone children; children should be unrecognizable from who they were to who they are now - and yet there is no change. I will hear no contrary arguments as they are wrong.
One kid was bullied and victimized and all he cared about is getting back at the bullies -> one isekai trip later where he literally becomes a super hero and saves the world -> and all he can think about is getting back at the bullies -> oh and since they died so easily, let's get back at the rest of the world too.
HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

There are a LOT of characters with some interesting ideas that go into each - none original -> but the problem is that none of these characters make sense on a fundamental level - emphasis on the mental part of fundamental -> and sure the author might succeed in tugging at your heart strings, but there is no payoff. It's literally "Oooookay, be sad.... and done. Moving on."

There is a joke: it is that I would've recommended this manhwa despite all this stupidity -> iiiiiiiiiiif there was no season trash. The art and action sequences are... fine. It doesn't save it but you can at least turn off your brain and enjoy violence that's happening for stupid reasons. Chapter 83 and 84 poises the entire series for a finale. The stage is set for the final battle where the fate of the world is decided! Both sides are poised and ready to meet to finish this once and for all!
... and boop, end of season. If it literally just kept going for like 5 or 6 more chapters and ended! See you in season 2! What does season 2 do? Literally undo any and all development for the plot's conclusion -> and go back to the filler -> baddie, who is bad, walks around killing people -> here's another boohoo sob story isekai'd kid who will fight him -> and this kid loses. Now be sad!... okay done. Moving on.
