This is SAO, but done right, without bullshit harem and horrendous cast of characters.

with the difference beeing that SAO is actually sort of unique and was a trendsetter at its time. This is just an adaption following already established trends, so I guess the korean take on reverse isekai is not that common as anime yet

I already knew I was done with it after the short exposition scene in the first episode where a guy explains things to another guy who already knows and volunteers information about the topic. From what little character writing I was able to see, the characters are about as flat as a pancake that has been set in the middle of a 100 book tall stack of textbooks.

@EdgyLord666 How SAO is better than SL ??? Because it's gets divert for its main plot and the MC deside to make family ? Or because of incest and Harem ?

You see, the difference is that Solo Leveling is fun to read from beginning to end.
@Spheromancer

It's even worse than SAO, to be honest SAO does have some suspense sometimes, and more interesting secondary characters.
SL is pretty bad in almost every single things. Bad story, inexistant secondary characters, no world building, almost no tension because god edgy dark sasuke is so cool that he will change everything everytime (okay Kirito is the same, but he struggles more).

Both are kinda bad or meh, but SAO was here before the others in his own genre.

i won’t even get into the incestuous ships/implications or the sexual harassment in the show. The pacing was worse than atrocious at times, the characters were generic and the overall show was just bland. At least the SL author put some thought into their writing, can’t say the same for SAO

Criticizing a show for having sexual assault is the dumbest thing ever lol

the shows aren't similar in any way but it's extremely funny watching anime fans going hype mode for this yet say stupid shit about SAO for similar reasons, even if they're not similar

then again people's get their opinions by being sheep and regurgitating sheep-like incorrect opinions about both series so............

???? I just don’t wanna see SA when watching a show it ain’t that weird. And i’m a sheep because i like one show over the other? I like the pacing more in SL than in SAO, so that makes me a sheep? You can’t say i’m a sheep when i started reading the manhwa over 4 years ago when it wasn’t even finished

@ZXEAN SAO is better in literally everything aside from one, and that's how to handle a sexual assault scene. Although SL doesn't have any SA, but that's still better than a bad execution of it.

Yes, the very end I'd an aweful cop out but the actual story is better than most power fantasy.

At the end of the day, apart from the very few exceptional anime nobody watches them for their high quality stories.

Never listen someone, watch or read yourself. He had a reason why he needed to get strong and without that he could not hold the immense power was given to him. I wont spoil you. I learn watching animes, reading mangas/light novels or nimes to never listen what xand y say... we think different.
Are a lot of manwha/ manhua with same concept, SAO is eh... but lol... each have their distinct story

Of course it's not well written. The basic idea of levelling up was interesting though not unique. But Later on it turned into an awfully repetitive plot. The pace was inconsistent and the power-system was ridiculous. The characters were disposed of just to make SJW look strong. The epilogue was a poor attempt to patch things up a bit.

SAO comparatively had more variety in the story.

Dud it's nothing like SAO even the system was training wheels for SJW we all know he will be the strongest in the end
But what interest us is how
Battle after battle how the world thought that those other people are top tier yet he stomped on them after all that u be like he is the strongest then introduced the monarchs well shit he not that strong then u realize the same system making him stronger is not letting him get his full potential

Other than having this game system, which any isekai has nowadays, it has nothing to do with SAO.
Comparing this to SAO is offensive. Not even the protagonists are similar, Kirito may be strong, but he is not an invincible OP. He loses and fails a lot and is full of trauma.
SL is just a power fantasy with a cool OP protagonist

Don't know about that but both are incredibly boring. SAO's world seemed more promising but it completely rushed through everything with the start. Solo Leveling's slower and a bit more focused with building the world but it's a vacuum of charisma and fun, characters and the story feels completely soulless so far. Neither are for me.

i agree with some things, other things not as much. First of all, never compare this show to SAO. The only reason your saying this is because both shows have a similar nature to one another and your friend told u that the manhwa is bad. How about reading it before you make a decision or don’t comment on things you have no clue about. And about that thing under the spoiler tag:

Lastly, this is talking about the reasons he got stronger and why they aren’t dumb at all
