Solo Leveling is a power trip fantasy where only the MC can "grow" in a world where no one else can, which makes everything feel static. There’s no real challenge, no real competition, just the protagonist getting stronger while everyone else stays the same. It’s like saying only Kirito can level up in SAO while the rest of the players are stuck at level one. At least in SAO, other characters have their own progression, even if Kirito is overleveled. Solo Leveling reduces the world and its setting to a backdrop for the MC's inevitable dominance. It's like a single-player RPG where everything revolves around the protagonist. The player also used cheat-codes to go on a power trip with no real stakes. Solo Leveling has no depth, no substance and no character growth except Jin-woo, of course.

10/10. Very memorable. Great show. It really highlights what's happening in society and I wish people would see this series as a learning point in life.

Movie for the brain-dead. If you're kidnapped, can't move and can't talk. What would you do after you've slowly regained the ability to talk without your kidnapper knowing? That's right, you have a full blown conversation with your kidnapper and make sure to piss him off so he'd kill you faster. Even the mentally challenged would lose IQ points watching this garbage movie.

SPOILERS: We killed these people because "Our games are fair with no discrimination" Game 1: People could push you, to make you move and get you killed. Game 2: Choosing the wrong RANDOM shape is probably going to get you killed. Game 3: Being a Girl/Old person gets you discriminated against and you probably cost your team and yourself to lose and die since it's tug-of-war = Strength based game Game 4: Given 10 marbles with no rules whatsoever, anyone can suggest any game giving your partner chances to cheat in a game they already knew but claimed they didn't know or outright cheat you out of your marbles. Game 5: If you took a random number and picked the front few numbers. You are guaranteed to die, no chance of survival, the last few numbers are given all the advantage. Final Game: It's basically just trying to kill each other. What's the game even about? As you can see, all of these games are unfair and full of discrimination. The show is even self-aware that nobody wants a girl/old person on their team. The game creator claims the game will be fair and nobody will be given an advantage or be discriminated but the nature of the games were all about discrimination itself. Woman and old people are considered weak and nobody wants them. I expected mental games not physical ones but the games are shallow like that. Also, they let the contestants KILL EACH OTHER. How is any of this "fair" and everyone "given equal chance at playing the game"? The lead characters are very bland and uninteresting. The females characters in the show are especially bad. They showed no talent or played anything into the plot in the show. Pretty worthless, no idea why she's even in the game. The thug could be just in the game with no connection to her and it would still be the same.
