In the 2016 fantasy manga “Naming Way of the Hunter,” written by author Chugong, we follow the story of Jinwoo, a skilled monster hunter yearning for recognition in a world brimming with mythical beings. When he encounters a secretive program called the System, it offers him an extraordinary chance to boost his own powers beyond those of other hunters. Although this puts Jinwoo at an advantage, it also sets him on a path to expose a wide-ranging conspiracy that threatens the very heart of his world.

The manga “Solo Leveling” has received widespread praise from critics, a recognition well-deserved given its massive popularity in the original work. Notably, it dominated the Circana BookScan Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels chart, accounting for a quarter of the list. Although the second volume narrowly missed the top position, the series’ claim on five out of the twenty spots underscores its immense appeal among fans, especially those outside Japan.
