Season 2 Faces Criticism for Pacing and Character Development

Fans express frustration over rushed storytelling, omitted scenes, and sidelined supporting characters in the anime's Jeju Island arc.

Viewers have raised concerns about the fast pacing of Solo Leveling Season 2, which they feel undermines the impact of key action sequences and character moments.
The anime has been criticized for focusing almost exclusively on protagonist Sung Jinwoo, sidelining the development of other significant characters, including S-Rank Hunters like Choi Jong-In.
A-1 Pictures' adaptation has omitted notable scenes from the source material, such as Choi Jong-In's display of power during the Jeju Island raid, disappointing fans of the manhwa and novel.
The introduction of major villains like the Ant King (Beru) has also faced scrutiny, with fans finding their anime designs less intimidating compared to the original manhwa depictions.
Despite these criticisms, the Jeju Island arc remains a highly anticipated storyline, with fans hopeful that the upcoming episodes will address some of these issues.
