However, it has also raised concerns among the manhwa fans about the rushed narrative, which they fear could jeopardize Sung Jin-Woo’s character over time.
Solo LevelingSeason 2 will continue with Sung Jinwoo’s journey to become the strongest as he embarks on a mission with the White Tiger Guild into a C Rank Gate. The manhwa arc emphasizes Jinwoo’s leadership and character growth, leaving a lasting impression on readers.
However, it seems that the production studio is prioritizing fast-tracking the Jeju Island Arc, which israising concern amongmanhwa readers. The first two episodes covered the Red Gate arc from the manhwa, adapting chapters 46-55 with remarkable direction and precision despite the shorter runtime.

Episode #1 sets the stage perfectly for the highly anticipated Jeju Island Arc, with a flashback to the third Jeju Island Raid in the episode’s opening scenes.
Manhwa readers will be very familiar with Sung Jinwoo’s epic clash with the Ant King, prompting many fans to regard the Jeju Island Arc as one of the best arcs inSolo Leveling. If the anime skips crucial battles, it will be hard to explain how Jinwoo reaches level 100 and defeats the Ant King in the Jeju Island Arc.
Nevertheless, the production studio rushing things wouldn’t be ideal, and saving the Jeju Island arc for Season 3 while laying its groundwork in Season 2 would be the most plausible approach.
