Not as good as the previous books of the Light Novel series. A lot of politics and controversy and the plot arcs are unclear. Not as much action as previous books, I feel the story has lost it's story compass. It seems that to free the planet from the Dungeons and the Monsters, defeating the 12 Monarchs is necessary. I have read the web version and this volume was not there. So, it is unclear where everything is going and why? V3 brings in more world building as well as gives Sung Jinwoo a few blast from the past moments as his former teammates from the dungeon incident in V1 team up to take on a dungeon he's also volunteered to enter. After some exciting incidents I'd rather not spoil, he gets to have a heart to heart with one of his old dungeon mates. He is also now under suspicion of hiding his true rank and being investigated by the government. And then we finally get to see what happens when he does not complete his daily tasks. Introducing the "penalty zone" a monster filled zone that he must survival for 4 hours! This volume ends with him receiving a new "job" title.

[59] Solo Leveling: Ragnarok [ edit ] Unfortunately, there is little character development other than the MC's glow up, and promising characters - like Esil, my instant fav who will probably never return (sad) - are used once and then discarded. Granted, the story is only just beginning, but I doubt we'll see much character development for our MC other than more shredded abs and upgraded stats. a b "Solo Leveling, Vol. 1 (novel) | Yen Press".
