    More popular than solo levelling? That’s surprising

      Does Solo Leveling have an episode early on where it suddenly gets better or something? I watched like 6 episodes and it’s just violent and boring, I couldn’t stick with it. Everybody sucks and even the leveling trope isn’t used very interestingly. It’s so well regarded though, I don’t get the appeal.

      The first 6 episodes of Gurren Lagann suck mostly, though, and then from ep 7 it’s a masterpiece, so I guess it happens.

        It’s generic power fantasy with no substance. The art is pretty cool though, and it’s well paced for what it is. I have read the entire thing, btw

        Sadly, no. It really is just a generic power fantasy where the MC becomes stupidly powerful later. The fights get better but it’s a popcorn flick, nothing about it is that good.
