They were also adapted into manga, anime, or television series. Manhwa, or Japanese manga, is a popular kind of animation books nowadays. South Korean comic books and graphic novels are known as manhwa. Packed with action and fantasy, the manhwa Solo Leveling is a fantastic read. The manhwa’s engaging plot, amazing art, and interesting characters sold it for me. It is adapted from the web novel, “Only I Level Up” by Chu-gong. Solo Leveling is set in South Korea, in a world where portals to dungeons filled with different monsters appeared randomly. People with powers are known as “hunters” and fight in dungeons. Jin-Woo was reawakened as a Player after surviving the Cartenon Temple and completing the secret quest “Courage of the Weak“. The mysterious System has allowed Jin-Woo to limitless level up and increases his strength, unlike all hunters, who are unable to increase their strength unless reawakened. Solo Leveling is centered around Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank hunter, and his journey to becoming an S-rank hunter after receiving a reawakening. Overgeared is an ongoing Korean novel by Park Saenal. The novel currently has around 1000+ raw chapters. It is about a teenager Korean male, Shin Youngwoo, who was having problems financially and is having difficulty on having a stable career path. Bombarded by bad luck, he tried getting successful by becoming a high-level player on the best Virtual reality game in their world. The setting of the story is in a futuristic time where people play virtual reality MMORPG called Satisfy. High rank players from this game generates high revenue from different means mostly via advertising. Grid, his in-game character, played hard to reach that highranking status in the game to pay off his debts and elevate his social status. He struggled to survive and made money in the world of Satisfy as the first negative leveled legendary class player.

Satisfy’s system is configured to allow users to discover and develop themselves. There is no such thing as a customer service center, and so Satisfy’s 2 billion users had been developing the world by pioneering and exchanging information on their own. Players log on to the game through a capsule. A fee for Satisfy must be paid at regular intervals. Reading Jin-Woo’s journey getting stronger each chapter is an enjoyable, hooking experience.
