Gone are the days when the Japanese manga series dominated the industry, as there are several South Korean manhwas that have lately also grown in popularity. One such series is Solo Leveling by Chugong, which was initially released as a Web Novel in 2016. However, over time, its popularity helped the amazing series get a Webtoon adaptation.
Moreover, Solo Leveling’s fame skyrocketed with the arrival of the anime. Now, after the incredible conclusion to the anime’s first season , you might wonder where you can read the manhwa chapters that will be adapted in the further seasons of the anime. Well, I’ve got you covered. So, here are the websites where you can read the Solo Leveling manhwa.

Here are the links to the platforms where you can read the Solo Leveling manhwa:
- Tapas : This platform doesn’t ask for a subscription, instead it lets you read chapters through its ink currency. This “ink” can be purchased by spending money or through rewards.
- Tappytoon : It allows you to go through the first five chapters for free, and after that, you will have to pay to access the locked chapters. Here are the pricing details: Single Chapter: $3.60 Next Five Chapters: $17.98 Remaining Chapters: $704.74
- Webnovel : This platform also involves a coin system that requires you to spend real money to unlock premium chapters of the ongoing Manhwa series. However, Solo Leveling has already finished, so Webnovel does not ask readers to pay to read this series.
KakaoPage was the first home to the Solo Leveling Web Novel, so, of course, it’s a platform you can explore to enjoy the intriguing story of Solo Leveling. Also, as the manhwa has already concluded, the digital platform will give you a hassle-free reading experience without emptying your pockets. However, as KakaoPage consists of the original novel project and not the Webtoon, it isn’t a go-to destination for international fans.
If you’re on the lookout for the Webtoon/ Manhwa adaptation of Solo Leveling in English, you can rely on Tapas, Tappytoon, and Webnovel . These are the best platforms that allow enthusiasts to dig into the amazing world of the celebrated Manhwas.
Unfortunately, these platforms are not entirely free of cost. To be precise, after allowing you to read the first few chapters for free, these platforms ask you for a subscription fee, gift tickets, or coins to enjoy the further chapters.
Why Is Solo Leveling Worth Reading in 2024?

Solo Leveling is a dark-fantasy Manhwa series that started as a web novel in 2016 and has grown massively in popularity since then. Like numerous other digital comics, the story kickstarts with a weak protagonist who eventually emerges as the strongest entity in existence. So, what makes the story of Sung Jinwoo worth a read? It’s the character development, gripping storyline, amazing artwork, and interesting villains.
Sung Jinwoo never had the desire to fight the monsters for humankind’s sake instead, he wanted to fight for financial reasons. However, his fate had something else in store. In a dungeon, he gets the power to level up and become the most powerful hunter .
This is not it, there are several volatile moments in the Manhwa that give you a reason to binge-read the chapters one after another without wanting to take a break. On top of that, enthusiasts who have watched the anime after reading the Manhwa weren’t impressed with the screen adaptation. That’s mainly because the anime felt rushed, whereas the Manhwa digs into the exciting events in an easy-going manner, giving fans a chance to connect to the story and the characters. So, if you haven’t read the Manhwa yet, you should do it before Solo Leveling Season 2 arrives.

- With the sudden rise in popularity of Korean manhwas and webtoons, I believe it’s time for The Breaker to get an anime adaptation like Solo Leveling.
- The Breaker’s story pacing will help split up the series into sufficient chapters, with each of them being action-packed and never feeling dragged out.
- And with the recent popularity of martial arts anime like Baki and Kengan Asura, this is the perfect time for The Breaker to get its limelight.
Over the last few years, multiple Korean manhwas have received the anime treatment. Be it Tower of God, The God of High School, and recently, Solo Leveling, they have presented fans with unique stories that resonated with everyone. While Solo Leveling gets its flowers and appreciation, there’s one Manhwa on the horizon that I’m waiting to get that perfect anime treatment.
The Breaker Has Good Pacing, Never Feels Dull
The Breaker deserves an anime because of its plot and setting. The Breaker is a Korean Manhwa that follows the protagonist Yi Shi-Woon , a high-school kid who wants to get strong enough to beat bullies. It cannot be an action story without focusing on the underlying bullying problems in the world.

In a typical action story fashion, Shi-Woon meets up with Han Chun-Woo, a mysterious figure who so happens to be the enemy of Korea’s secret martial arts alliance. What transpires is our boy Shi-Woon learning martial arts from Chun-Woo, some deaths happening here and there, some deserved character development, and a long hiatus until last year, when we finally started getting the Eternal Force webtoons.
Most webtoon adaptations follow the story of a main character who gets stronger by the end. Here, you’d find some similarities to that concept with a typical Shonen manga vibe. The advantage The Breaker has over its peers is its pacing . Throughout the first two seasons, not once did it feel like the story dragged on. Instead, Jeon’s writing ensures that the payoffs feel good. It’s fulfilling to see Shi-Woon punch his bully for the first time.

And this carries on even better in Breaker: New Waves, the Manhwa’s official second “season.” We see Shi-Woon progressively becoming stronger, improving step by step in his martial arts training. When he pulls off miraculous martial arts combos, you can’t help but stand up and scream out loud in support of our boy. It’s the pacing that does the magic for the Manhwa.
Over time, we have seen many anime having pacing issues, with One Piece being the biggest culprit, where you start feeling that the plot is being dragged out. My colleague Ajith believes it’s one of the many problems that the One Piece remake needs to fix. The Breaker mitigates this problem by never squeezing in a single filler arc. Everything that happens focuses on Shi-Woon’s journey to becoming stronger. The story keeps flowing towards a proper conclusion to arcs.
The Breaker Manhwa’s Art Is Too Good
While the standing up against bullies story arcs and pacing are its strong suits, we cannot stop but talk about The Breaker’s art, especially in Season 1 and New Waves. Park’s drawings bring the raw emotion and the madness most characters experience in the Manhwa.
While the first season is a lot tamer with its art up until the final few chapters, New Waves goes all out with a flashy art style that just works.

Every moment in the Manhwa, be it a fight between two characters or just characters talking with each other, feels high effort. Martial arts sequences are where The Breaker blinds you with its clean and hard-hitting scenes, and Park delivers. That’s why whenever you see Shi-woon going up against his opponents, those moments capture that raw fighting spirit between the characters.

Hence, seeing those art getting animated will highly benefit us all. Just saying. As animes like Baki and Kengan Asura have become popular in recent years, an anime adaptation of The Breaker will surely find the right place among the anime audience. Seeing Shi-woon performing his martial art moves against SUC will be no short of a spectacle on the big screen.
It’s the Perfect Time for The Breaker to Get an Anime
Whether The Breaker and its sequel will get an anime depends on its popularity. While The Breaker isn’t as popular and well-known as manhwa like Solo Leveling , this story will prosper with everyone if it ever gets an anime. Be it the pacing, the stellar fight scenes, or the immaculate art, the seminal work of Geuk-Jin Jeon and Jin-Hwan Park has a great time to become successful.
Moreover, as we are finally getting season 3 of The Breaker after such a long hiatus, I think it is the best time for an interested studio to take the gamble and make it happen. The Breaker anime might bring some much-needed attention to the Manhwa series and help it get its due recognition like Solo Leveling.
