 I finished rewatching solo leveling. Forgot how much I loved it! Anime tropes can be awful and I understand why a lot of people can't watch them. You have to dig through a lot of mediocre story to find the good ones. On top of that you have to deal with a lot of cringey pervy elements that is the Japanese culture. Most of the time you get the main character that's completely overpowered and the end result is never in doubt. Every pretty woman of any importance is instantly taken with him. Couldn't be because he's the most powerful man in the world.

Solo leveling went a different route. Took the weakest man in the world and gave him and only him the ability to level up. The biggest difference though? Even in the first season he almost dies numerous times. Getting by on luck as much as skill. Which as a viewer gives you a reason to root for him and hope he pulls through. Seriously can't wait for the next season in January.
