Yeah I did at some point in early 2025 because I began watching Solo Leveling from Season 1 at that time

Oh really? I'm reading the series rn!

Oh nice. I plan to buy the manhwa but it costs $300 for all 15 volumes, so I have to find a cheaper way to buy them.

Theres 15!?
I picked up 1-12 from a library, thinking that there were only 12 books in the series

Yep because the last volume came out in March 2026 and almost a week ago, they released they released the 1st volume of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, which is the sequel of Solo Leveling.

Was a sequel really necessary...

Apparently yes considering it’s about Sung Jin-woo’s son, Suho. And the manhwa is on hiatus because the main illustrator, JIN is doing military service. They did announce there is a new illustrator who is supposed to work on it, and he is a disciple of DUBU, the original Illustrator for Solo Leveling.

There was an illustrator change starting from volume 14 because the original illustrator, DUBU passed away. His disciples did the illustrations for the remaining chapters of the manhwa. Then JIN, who was one of the disciples, is the main illustrator for the sequel manhwa.
