Considering how closely the webtoon is following the LN, I doubt they would leave it out. Also not sure why people are reacting so negatively to simply the presence of romance. The romance doesn't seem to be out of place or ruining the story so that is why I'm confused. Eg. 007 has romance in it... and people don't freak out that it's taking away from the action.

Omg there's romance?? I fckin love this manhawa cz of its action n focused mc without any girl drama pls

It's because, in the first place, i loved this webtoon because it didn't have romance in the first season and it is really full of action. I was REALLY hyped. And when i thought about the second season, i really had high expectations about it hoping that it will be more thrilling and exciting. But then, when i learned that there will be a romance, i was REALLY disappointed down to the knees. Why is it that most action manhwa have to include romance? I know that most of you think that the mc also deserves to be happy but does happiness is always based on romantic relationships? For me it is not. I'm done with action manhwas being ruined by romance. I'm really tired of romance in an action manhwas when you can't even find romance genre displayed. Sighhh. Okay that's all. Sorry for the exaggeration hihi.

I think what was kind of weird is that solo leveling is so good and then people were acting like the webtoon would suck now that it has romance in it. I don't think the presence of romance discounts a webtoon from being good and I didn't know it was a thing that action webtoons shouldn't have romance in them.
I really hate the idea of romance in this manhwa even if it is just a sprinkle. Its like putting a dust in my eyes that it becomes irritating. Really hope that they will not include romance in this manhwa. It is possible since you all said that the romance in the LN doesn't really affect the main storyline right?
