Sung Jin-woo, of the well-knownSolo Leveling, has been popular amongst manhwa readers even before the release of the anime. His character starts as a timid yet brave youngster who achieves immense strength on his journey.
The series comprises amazing action sequences that are on par with the likes ofJujutsu Kaisen,Demon Slayer, etc. The series packs a punch with its fast-paced battles and cliffhangers.
However, many fans complain that the show gives “brain dead action only” vibes. However, the action sequence serves a purpose in the storytelling.
IsSolo LevelingBrain-Dead Action Anime? How Should The Upcoming Anime Change This Perception?
Many people argue thatSolo Levelingis a simple story and is all about battles. But simplicity in storytelling isn’t a flaw. A simple story too can connect with readers emotionally. The simplicity ofSolo Levelingallows for the action sequences to shine, which is the USP of the show.
Not every reader needs a complex plot twist or deep philosophical question thrown in their face to enjoy a story with thrilling battles and character growth. The story focuses onJin-woo’s self-improvement, his bonding with his family, and his rise to God-like status.
There are few onRedditwho share our thoughts. See what they said,
Solo Leveling‘s story without any unnecessary subplots, allows the readers to fully engage with the exciting moments and stunning visuals. However, the extra focus on action sequences led to the series being called “Brain Dead Action Anime”.
To avoid this tag, the upcoming anime should also focus on the emotional and psychological struggles Jin-woo goes through. The anime can also focus on side characters that have rich stories that add depth to the world of the series.
One such character is Sung Il-Hwan, he is the father of Jin-woo and Jin-ah. Before the main storyline, Il-Hwan was trapped in a dungeon for years and was presumed dead. However, he was alive and not much is known about his life in the dungeon. The anime can focus on his life in the dungeon and explore the lore even further.

Solo Levelingis not just about Jin-woo becoming stronger, it is also about the sacrifices he makes along the way. Focusing on these aspects of his character and providing more screen time and development to other characters will make the anime feel more complete.
The anime should also focus on world-building and lore as the series introduces complex ideas, such as the system and the true nature of the hunter’s world. By focusing on this it might get rid of the mindless action tag. The webtoon’s action sequences, however, remain its strongest point and are what keep readers coming back for more.
“Action Speaks Louder Than Words”: Jin-woo’s Character Is Metaphorical Representation Of The Proverb In The Final Arc OfSolo Leveling
In the final arc, the story’s focus shifts from character development to intense action. The fewer dialogues highlight Jin-woo’s transformation into a powerful, almost god-like figure who no longer needs to explain his thoughts or actions.
His silence creates a sense of authority and dominance. He has completed his emotional journey, having faced challenges, losses, and moments of self-discovery. Now, at the end of the series, he is at the peak of his strength, and the story emphasizes his power rather than his words.
However, Jin-woo’s silence irked some fans on Reddit. Check what they said,
The tonal shift of his character moves the attention to the action sequences which are the heart of the series. The reduction in dialogue shows that actions speak louder than words. It summarises the idea that he is no longer a person who needs to talk or question his choices.
Fans tend to forget thatSolo Levelingis popular due to its action sequences. The battles in the series are well-orchestrated, dynamic, intense, and beautifully illustrated.

Each battle feels grand and impactful. Jin-woo’s skills, powers, emotions, and moral turmoil are displayed through these action sequences. Thus, making the story visually engaging.
The balance between action and storytelling truly setsSolo Levelingapart from other webtoons. Even though Jin-woo speaks less, his actions in these fight scenes communicate everything we need to know about his character.
Another reason for him having less dialogue in the final arc is due to the quick pacing. The reason for rushing the series is the sudden demise of the webtoon’s artist, Jang Sung-rak, aka, DUBU.

This affected the pace of the final chapters as the team behind the manhwa had to wrap it up while dealing with this unexpected loss. However, despite the rushed ending, the series delivered an impactful conclusion. Although many fans wish for a more detailed ending, the team did their best to honour the story and the artist’s work.
