I just want to keep reading. It is so cool and I’m so intrigued by where the story will lead and how each player will come into it. I wanna see more of the vice-president S rank woman too, she’s adorable.

This series is fucking wild. There's really not a lot to complain about. I'd say first of I wish that Jinwoo would have a more solid group of people he was allied with, but that might come later on in the series. The second thing is that I wish there was more equality in the dungeon gear design, because it's only the female characters that have the "sexy" gear/costumes. Give a couple of the male characters some slutty gear too lol.

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.

La verdad que casa vez me gusta más el manga, y el protagonista. Tengo curiosidad por ver cómo concluye la historia, ya que ahora mismo hay bastantes frentes abiertos

I’m glad we get to see Sung own up to his power. I think I just want to see more of his perspective rather than so much of different guilds trying to recruit him. It was very repetitive to have EVERY guild give the same monologue about why they want him. We get it.
