22. Retesting Rank Arc (Chapters 62-64)
Within the final spot, we now have the Retesting Rank arc. It’s fairly mediocre as there may be nothing however edgy showcases of Jinwoo’s talents. The chairman cheerfully nods as he acknowledges Jinwoos’s energy and is glad that they lastly have one other S-rank hunter in Korea. In any other case, it’s very uneventful and is generally simply filler chat.
21. Recruitment Arc (Chapters 108-110)
Subsequent, the Recruitment arc is form of tied for probably the most uninteresting Solo Leveling arc. It’s as brief because the Retesting one and has simply as few actors. The primary occurring is that the USA is making an attempt to recruit Jinwoo, they usually need to reward him an improve by Norma Selner, a hunter who’s able to unlocking different individuals’s potential.

19. Epilogue (Chapters 178-179)
Epilogue is one other brief one. It tells the occasions simply earlier than the Academy arc, the place Jinwoo has returned to the previous after managing to defeat the monarchs and save the human race. The spotlight of this arc is the scene the place he meets Cha Hae-In for the “first” time.

In Dungeon & Lizards, Jinwoo goes to clear a C-rank dungeon with 9 different individuals who appear fairly common. Then, it seems that they had been planning to kill one of many wealthy guys within the group for money. If it weren’t for the cliches that, in my view, don’t swimsuit Solo Leveling, this arc would’ve ranked increased.
16. Worldwide Guild Convention Arc (Chapters 140-149)
The Worldwide Guild Convention arc would possibly’ve deserved a better rating, however the competitors is getting critical proper now. Right here, Jinwoo represents Korea at a guild convention whereas the monarchs are beginning a warfare with the rulers within the background.

14. Demon Citadel Arc (Chapters 56-61)
Within the Demon Citadel Arc, Jinwoo fights a skeletal boss that makes use of summons a lot the identical means he does.

Most notably, the recipe to make Holy Water of Life, an merchandise that might treatment his sick mom.
13. Dungeon & Prisoners Arc (Chapters 25-34)
I actually loved this text, particularly due to Kang Taeshik’s character and combating model. He proved to be fairly a problem each for the surviving members of the Double Dungeon and Sung Jinwoo. Additionally, the best way he accepted his defeat on the finish felt rad, so he received additional factors for that.
12. Purple Gate Arc (Chapters 46-55)
Right here, we now have Jinwoo’s first Purple Gate. Whereas making an attempt to show his sister’s pal easy methods to do hunter issues, they find yourself trapped inside the gate with high-tier monsters making an attempt to kill them. The one means out is to defeat the S-rank boss, Baruka, who killed virtually all the opposite get together members. You possibly can predict what occurs on the finish, however the entire struggle with Baruka and the drama surrounding the conundrum they’ve discovered themselves in makes this arc fairly eventful.

The Japan Disaster arc occurs proper after Jingwoo returns from his second go to to the Double Dungeon. A large S-rank gate appeared in Tokyo, and the Japanese hunters simply couldn’t deal with it. Jinwoo, the nice man that he’s, travels to Tokyo assured that he can resolve the state of affairs alone. A large struggle trying prefer it’s straight out of LotR ensues, and Jinwoo’s shadow military snatches the win.
Additionally, Jinwoo meets Legia, the Monarch of the Starting and the one chargeable for the gate’s look. The entire struggle and the encounter with Legia had been so cool that this arc ought to’ve ranked increased, however Solo Leveling is all about that, and the opposite arcs simply depict it higher.
9. Ahjin Guild Arc (Chapters 111-122)
In the beginning of this arc, Jinwoo creates his personal guild, the Ahjin Guild. Cha Hae-In rushes to him so she will be able to be a part of immediately, however he decides to check her first by letting her face Beru (Ant King). No spoilers concerning that half, nevertheless it’s the primary time Hae-In and Jinwoo received shut. So, this arc is rating ninth. Cope with it.
8. Monarchs Warfare Arc (Chapters 150-166)
A few of the most epic fights occurred in the course of the Monarchs Warfare Arc. Nevertheless, it solely serves because the prelude to the ultimate battle. There isn’t a lot in addition to combating, and it’s not like Jinwoo may’ve misplaced to any of the monarchs he fought right here. However, it’s nonetheless fairly good in comparison with those above.
7. Reawakening Arc (Chapters 11-12)
The Reawakening Arc occurs proper after Jinwoo accepts the Braveness of the Weak quest within the final chapter of the D-Dungeon Arc.

Double Dungeon Arc would possibly’ve as effectively been named Payback Arc. Right here, Jinwoo goes again to the dungeon he challenged at the beginning of the collection to face the Architect and discover out the reality behind his powers. This arc sheds gentle on important Solo Leveling lore and deserves a really excessive rating. Nevertheless, the struggle is a bit underwhelming, so it will get a quantity six.
5. Return to Demon Citadel Arc (Chapters 76-89)
I do know this can be a controversial opinion, however I cherished Esil and her half on this arc. She is clever and crafty, and he or she even helps Jinwoo in his struggle with the Monarch of the White Flames, Baran. Yeah, that was after she tried to backstab him, however who cares? Esil handed the vibe test, and so does the Return to Demon Citadel arc.
4. Ultimate Battle Arc (Chapters 167-177)
The fourth spot goes to the Ultimate Battle Arc. That is the end result of the entire manhwa, and it sees Jinwoo combating the final remaining Monarch, King of Dragons Antares. The struggle is insane. A whole lot of the story will get revealed, too. All in all, it’s a fantastic arc and probably an important one lore-wise.
3. D-Rank Dungeon Arc (Chapters 1-10)
The D-Rank Dungeon arc accommodates the primary ten chapters of the manhwa. Sung Jinwoo goes to a seemingly straightforward dungeon and encounters the ominous stone statues.

It’s because of this transfer that he received seen by the Architect and acquired a chance to grow to be a participant in his recreation.

After a protracted struggle with Igris and a slew of summoned knights, he lastly manages to finish the hunt and earn a brand new title: Necromancer.
This is without doubt one of the most necessary Solo Leveling arcs, so it deserves a really excessive rating. It units the tone for the remainder of the collection and already determines at that time what path Jingwoo will take together with his newfound powers.
1. Jeju Island Arc (Chapters 90-107)
Rank one on our listing of Solo Leveling arcs is the Jeju Island Arc. A horde of monsters which have advanced to hunt people has began invading the Korean mainland. Beru, the Ant King, begins mowing down S-rank hunters and forces Jinwoo to intervene. Then, by far, the very best struggle in the entire manhwa ensues between Beru and Jinwoo.
