Since Episode 1, Solo Leveling has become a massive hit in the Winter anime season. Fans have had nothing but positive remarks about the anime, but one detail has been overlooked. While Jinwoo’s power development is thrilling to watch and the core reason to watch the series, there is a lack of critical character-building throughout the anime.Solo Leveling is more of a plot-driven series, meaning that character development isn’t focused on. Characters are a critical part of any story, especially in anime, so the lack of characterization in Solo Leveling is its greatest weakness. Contrasting Solo Leveling’s plot-centered focus, the less popular but equally praised anime The Apothecary Diaries has some of the best character development. These opposing series have found their own strengths in their atypical stories and characters that reveal how to make successful series.Granted, having a plot-centered focus doesn’t make Solo Leveling bad. The way lore is built up and, along with the incredible choreography and animation of action sequences, there is a lot to enjoy for viewers. However, Solo Leveling is a slow burn for those who enjoy character development. In Episode 1, there is the setup that Jinwoo is the weakest character with a noble motivation — the support of his family. The episode highlights Jinwoo’s frustration with his weaknesses and does this repeatedly as if the audience needs the persistent reminder. The episode is engaging not because of Jinwoo or any other character but because of the lore introduced. This is one of the most interesting fantasy setups because of how layered the details are and how overbearing the cruelties of this world prove to be.
