What to expect from the anime?
Solo Leveling takes place in a world where there are people known as hunters and tasked with protecting humanity from different monsters. The main character is a weak hunter called Sung Jing-woo, who struggles with a lot of different enemies, even resulting in having most of his party killed in the process.
However, he is chosen to be a part of a System that grants him the ability to level up and get stronger, which is not usually feasible in this reality. Therefore, Ji-woo decides to use this ability to travel across different dungeons and discover the truth behind them.
