Solo Leveling, Vol. 5 (Solo Leveling (Comic), #5)

[Quirky Cat]

Summary:

Jinwoo Sung has a reputation among the other hunters and dungeon adventurers – he's known as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind. Yeah, quite the blow to one's ego. Yet Jinwoo can't give up this job, as his mother's hospital bills keep on climbing.

However, one job changed everything. It should have been a regular dungeon, but it quickly became life-or-death. Somehow Jinwoo survived – but he's forever changed. Now, he's working hard to level up and change the game.

Review:

I’ll confess that I’m still extremely curious to see where Solo Leveling will take us. What heights will Jinwoo reach before the end - and what event signals the end, for that matter? That made me eager to dive into Solo Leveling Vol. 5.

This volume was…interesting. There were elements that I really enjoyed and elements that really drove home how OP things are getting. I know; it’s a gripe I keep bringing up. I should really get over it if I’m going to keep reading.

I enjoyed seeing more of the dungeon structure and the other teams that work to help clear it out. That had been overlooked previously, so seeing what else goes into the process was interesting.

That said, it’s clear that Jinwoo is making a name for himself - no matter how hard he tries to do the opposite. Oops.
