Great review! It's clear that Solo Leveling left a strong impression on you, even though it didn't quite live up to your expectations at first. The protagonist's increasingly arrogant nature is something that divides opinions; some see it as a natural evolution within the "system" he finds himself in, while others feel he's lost some of his original essence.
What you mentioned about the possibility that it's more the story of a rising villain than a hero is a very interesting point. The anime plays with that ambiguity, which makes it more compelling and different from other isekai or power-progression series.
You say the ending made you change your mind and become a fan. What impacted you most about that season finale? Are you now eagerly awaiting the second season, or are you afraid the quality will drop?
Well, I'm a big fan of World of Warcraft. It's one of my favorite games that I could play for a few years until my PC stopped allowing me to play it, and so did my pocket.
Seeing the ending and reading about Necromancer, with those intense blue eyes, reminded me a lot of Arthas and how misunderstood he was by others. This made it clear to me that the character would be more villain than hero, and I hope to see that in the second season.
Also, in certain chapters, the series reminded me a lot of WoW gameplay, only with a personalized and humanized touch. Undoubtedly, this first season was interesting to watch, and although it was somewhat slow in the development of the plot, it mixes themes that make me curious and remind me of other franchises such as Matrix. So I want to know what will happen next and who controls this System.
Thank you very much for stopping by and reading my review. I appreciate it very much
