10 Manhwa That Give ‘Solo Leveling’ a Run for Its Money

Solo Leveling is turning heads left and right with the success of its manhwa and anime adaptation. It is definitely hands down one of the best manhwa out there, but it is not the only one.

Other great manhwa are also getting the spotlight they deserve, as fans want to read something similar or even better than Solo Leveling. These works are absolute gems with likable protagonists, intriguing worlds, and insane power structures. So, here are 10 manhwa that give Solo Leveling a run for its money.

1) Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint

The storyline of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is very different from Solo Leveling, but it gives you a similar vibe. Here, we witness the journey of Kim Dokja, who gets thrown into a world he was unprepared for. Once an ordinary, low-earning salaryman, Dokja becomes one of the strongest characters of his story.

The aspect of a weak person getting stronger is pretty similar to Solo Leveling’s Jinwoo. Dokja also evolves into an extremely overpowered character who later loses his humanity and becomes something else. This manhwa is now getting both an anime and a live-action adaptation.

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is available on the Webtoon app.

2) The Beginning After the End 

This one is an American web novel that shows a king being reborn as a child called Arthur Leywin in a new world. In his latest life, Arthur wants to do only one thing; live to the fullest with those he loves dearly.

Thus, armed with the knowledge and experience of a king, Arthur sets out on another journey filled with adventures and magic.

The Beginning After the End is available on Tapas.

3) Tomb Raider King

This manhwa definitely talks about a world pretty similar to Solo Leveling. There, we saw dungeons, and here, God’s tombs started to appear all over the world one day.

The main protagonist, Jooheon, also dies cruelly and returns 15 years in the past to get a second chance at his life. Now that he knows all the tombs, he can collect them before anyone can.

4) Tower of God

Tower of God has such a complex and intriguing world-building that even Solo Leveling seems straightforward. The story takes place around a tower that has entire worlds built on each of its floors.

One boy, Bam, wishes to climb this tower because his only friend, Rachel, wants the same. However, it is not as simple because one must pass many tests and face powerful opponents. This one also has an anime adaptation that started fine but then fell face-first in quality.

Tower of God is available on the Webtoon app.

5) SSS Class Suicide Hunter

In this manhwa, a tower emerges with floors filled with monsters, just like dungeons from Solo Leveling. Here, as well, a handful of the population develop skills that help them enter the tower and kill these monsters.

Gongja is a weak hunter who is at the bottom of the barrel. But one day, impressed with his jealousy towards another hunter, the tower gives him a special skill. He will be able to copy one skill of anyone who kills him.

SSS Class Suicide Hunter is available on Tapas.

6) The God of High School

This manhwa follows a bunch of high schoolers who battle it out amongst themselves in the God of High School tournament.

The tournament attracts fighters from all over the world and gives them a stage to display their power with no rules to hold them back. If they prove to be the best, they can get whatever they wish for.

7) Gosu

Gosu is set in a historical world where the hero, Gang Yong, was a disciple of a legendary martial artist and supreme overlord, Dokgo Ryong. From his master, Gang learned many things and even inherited the mission to seek revenge against those who betrayed Dokgo Ryong.

However, after Gang finds out that those enemies have already died, his journey takes him on a different route, where he meets more powerful enemies.

However, when the 4th leader dies, his son, Muwon, is left with nothing but a wish to get revenge.

10) I’m the Max-Level Newbie

This manhwa has a very interesting premise where Jinhyuk, the hero, does not start his journey as the weakest. He is a seasoned gamer who is interested in a game no one really likes.

After playing the game for 11 years, Jinhyuk finally decides to let it go. However, one day, this game comes to life, and Jinhyuk becomes the only one capable enough to save humanity by clearing this game once again.
