With its lone hero, hostile dungeons, bloodthirsty monsters and clear-cut moral choices, the universe of Solo Leveling attracts readers eager for dark, violent, yet strangely fascinating worlds.

Dungeons populated by nightmarish creatures appear, and only "Hunters" - humans endowed with magical powers - can penetrate them.
But Jin-Woo is a E-rank hunterconsidered the weakest of all. It's his will to survive - in a world that despises him - that triggers a mysterious system allowing him to level up... alone.
