Solo Leveling, Vol. 2 by Chugong

4.0

adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The stakes got even higher and the plot escalated even more in this second volume. I was a bit surprised with how fast the main character changed, both physically and mentally, but since the central idea of the story is "solo leveling" and his ability to consistently get stronger through training as a "player" in this mysterious game, it made sense thematically. I also don't mind because he got hotter both in character design and canonically to other characters LOL. I particularly liked the reveal towards the end that

the "system" is using him in some capacity and needs him to both survive and get stronger. He goes through some rapid changes in his life or death fight against the other hunters as he commits his first human kills and strengthens his resolve to take advantage of the system too, which I enjoyed seeing.
