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.

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.

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.

There are two correct ways to read this manhwa:
1) Don't. 0/10. This is the tl;dr right here.
or
2) Start at chapter 1, like normal and read for like 5 to 10 chapters -> Skip to chapter 80 and read it with chapters 81 and 82 and then just stop.

Everything else in this manhwa, in between or after, is filler -> fake and shallow kiddie pool level of depth and complexity where they introduce a character and kill them off because they're idiots -> it's baby logic designed to tug at your heart strings -> without earning any of it. On top of that, none of it matters; this might sound dismissive but I ain't exaggerating. Like, technically and objectively speaking, if you replace the vast majority of this manhwa with nothing, you'll end up with the same results.

What is the filler exactly? There is a baddie, who is bad, walking around killing people and causing mayhem -> a "hero" pops up to fight him -> and the hero loses. Take this simple concept and casually add several chapters of boohoo sob story background flashbacks that keep happening to it -> then copy paste.

If you remove the filler, this manhwa would be about 20 chapters long - from start to finish. And I do mean finish -> as in "there is no season 1 and 2 or whatever."
The story isn't that long nor complicated.

The world building is trash. It is faulty as it is effectively "it's the real world, but there is this little detail with it." What detail? The detail is that people get isekai'd, go on a full journey to kill the demon king - along with allies and stuff -> become super powerful -> and then go home, keeping everything they obtained from that journey.
This, fundamentally, makes no sense. Think about it for two seconds. If this detail really has been ongoing for a long time - since before the World Wars, no really -> and no one knows anything about it? "The government covered it up." Bullocks. Have you seen the powers on display? Shut up.

Only thing I forgot to mention is that you can write 5 comments a day to get 40 points for each. With the check-in that gives 100 points -> you'll get 300 points daily.
Good luck and enjoy.
