Volume 6 of the Solo Leveling manhua is a lot of fun, though it feels a bit weirdly paced, or like the volumes are weirdly split up. The first half is basically all about Jinwoo's ascent of the Demon's Castle, with lots of action and fighting that involves Jinwoo being... still clever, but mostly also way overpowered.
The second half is largely about the Jeju Island plot, with Japanese and Korean high-ranked hunters joining up, testing each other, and then starting the raid... and Jinwoo isn't a super important part of that plot, since he chooses not to get involved due to his mother's recovery. It feels really weird that he's not involved, narratively, but I'm guessing he'll be getting stuck in soon enough. I can't imagine the system's super interested in him no longer hunting...
The art and colours continue to be lovely, and while I don't follow the action scenes well, eh, I never do -- just not a visual person. I'm very curious where it's all going, and also probably curious enough to start reading the light novel.
