%99 of people who read the light novels of both SL and ORV thinks ORV is superior so it's not really an unpopular opinion but agreed lol
I havent really seen much hype for ORV so i thought most people prefers solo leveling
I agree with you
There's just so much character connection in ORV and I like how his companions have there own strengths that he can rely on~~~ the female characters are also strong and not just some wall paper with a one dimensional personality and the characterization depth of a freaking kiddy pool with mostly pee in it while only convenient for the mc to look even more strong
The fact that he also relies on their strength and acknowledge his own weakness makes you look forward to everyone's character growth
Overall! I just loved this so much the characters, the flow of the story, and all the elements I could think of~

I also love solo leveling butttt~~~ I stopped reading a few months ago~~ cuz like I lost all of that fire of excitement in the story though will continue but for some time maybe?
most people are webtoon only readers i'm pretty sure it'll become more popular than SL in a few years. SL fans like to talk about it like it's a flawless masterpiece superior to any other but usually it's the only action manhwa they've read
I haven't the novel of ORV but I already read the SL.I actually think ORV is far superior than SL but both of them are great. ORV got more story and interesting (for me) along with Trash of the count family
Agreed, I just finished reading Solo Leveling and honestly it feels like im watching SAO, in the early chapters it was a really fun read but as you go on it becomes boring with each chapter since you know Sung will always win and the dude never gives a reaction other than being badass. While the plot is definitely fun and engaging the characters are lacking. Honestly the summons have more personality than Sung lol
Solo Leveling is awesome and totally a fun read but ORV is definitely superior IMO
solo leveling is the og but ovr is something else the plot is just next level
Yes trash of the count's family is also good although it's a reincarnation genre it's not focused on a female mc but a male so it's like a breathe of fresh air for me. And also Cale is very smart, im not saying the female leads of other stories are not but he just thinks different. He bases his plans mostly on his survival and of course to help avoid future disasters and he still minds to stay true to the "real" cale's personality but his acts are very contradictory. And the way everyone just accepts this is so funny to me.
Sorry just wanted to let that out.
YOU HAVE TO READ THE NOVEL, ITS SO FUCKING GOOD????? If you love the plot rn, and their dynamic, you LOVE IT EVEN MORE it's so good that I cried for a freaking long time
Wow thank you, I finally found the words, but if u havent read orv novel pls do bcs it was SO SO GOOD
this opinion is getting more popular since orv just start to make name now... its not even weird how people know sl more than orv since sl started few years before orv. but yeah ive read both novel and obviously im side with orv... it so different than other korean action novel... like the character and relationship and the plot... its so unique.
Just for a record sl got around 200+ chapters if im not mistaken while orv got 551 chapters and honestly i finished all orv chapters and still want more while sl got a bit boring for me towards the end... like sl ending for me like " ok whatever the plot get kinda woozy and weird for a bit but sure" and still cant finish the extra chapter... i just hope orv get the love and praise they deserve. its gonna be my most favourite novel of all time
For me, I can't really compare the two. They may share a couple of similarities but how they present their stories are vastly different from one another. ORV has more in common with trash of the count's family than it does with SL. SL being a second life type comic is pretty much pure action with a badass MC which, from what I've seen of that genre, is par for the course for those types of comics. Different strokes for different folks as they say.
Honestly, it's really hard to make a recommendation for a second life comic because they usually quickly go the solo leveling route but I did find one second life comic that you may be interested in called infinite leveling Murim on webtoon. It's the typical final battle where he dies and then comes back but he comes back in his child body so even though he has the memories of his past life, his body does not so he's not the instant badass. So far, I'm really enjoying it
Me too dude I read the webnovel and just stopped reading when the girl and the mc started kissing
They dont...
Wait, wrong webnovel sorry...
me too... it just no for me
Yeah I was fan of solo leveling fight scenes, hot op MC fucking awesome but it is just that.We don't "feel" characters and cough I'm gonna get hate but I don't like blonde FL I dropped when she becomes a "FL". But ORV is relatable. You can look at characters and say "damn fucking feelings". Can not even compare the plot with solo leveling, it's god's made. I always had characters I hated in every manga/webtoon but ORV is breaking the rules. I don't think it is unpopular opinion solo leveling started good but can not keep the readers it has become too repeatable (or it is just me). But damn OVR is the only light novel I read (didn't finish but fuck it my brain can not remember names except kimdokja and YJH so I always stop and reread) and it is a fucking masterpiece. And I love my ugly not ugly baby boi. And the feelings that it gave me is special so OVR is always gonna be my favorite I can say that.
Yes i feel the same towards the fl in SL and their "hang out" threw me off and it didnt really excite me because it came out all of a sudden and surprised but not in a good way
I wish they couldve gotten some time together to work on their friendship before they went to the amusement park
Fr though! I tried so hard to remember the names and when I finally remembered all of their names... the translator switched a d the names changed (not from that much) but yeah it is the best thing ever! (It is the only novel I read 2 times)
Imo ORV is better than solo leveling, because it actually shows kim dokja depending on his teammate and everything that involves their world(constellations, historical artifacts), and how he's thinking of plans while basing all of this from the novel he read. While sung jinwoo fights with his shadows instead of making connections/relationships with his fellow hunters.
The one thing that makes ORV great is he's not the stereotypical weak mc who became op all of a sudden then loses his emotions. The author is really great at taking their time with showing their progress and somehow still builds tension to scenes with no action and includes history of the country they're at. And also the romance is almost not there which i really like.
The thing with solo leveling is sung jinwoo became powerful super fast but maybe slowing down would have been much better, with the way it is now with the current chapters it feels like a game you play where you leveled up your characters too fast so now they can defeat every enemy easily and have speedran every aspect of the game and now it's become boring. Then the excitement comes every update of the game, or in solo levelings case new op enemies are introduced. I hope when they do introduce said enemies, they would make sung jinwoo have a hard time.
But nonetheless, both stories have different plots and i just like the other one better than the other, and everyone have different taste buds, and for me solo leveling is losing its flavor that it had before.
So hardcore solo leveling fans out there or anyone, feel free to teach me anything more about solo leveling that can somehow make me feel excited for future updates.
And im not very good in putting my opinions and thoughts into words so please dont judge me too harshly. And i hope you understood what i meant.
I will continue to read both stories so to any fans out there please dont tell me "stop reading then dumbass" since its only my opinion/thought
AND PLEASE educate me if you want to, im open to anything as long as they're within my boundaries.
