The second season of the anime Solo Leveling arrived with full force, breaking records right from the start. The premiere episode became the "most liked" on Crunchyroll , even surpassing the launch of the first season, which had already caused instability on the platform's servers. However, while the anime continues to achieve impressive numbers, the franchise's manhwa is facing serious problems.
Due to a car accident involving the author Daul, the next chapter of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok has had to be postponed once again, frustrating fans and generating a wave of solidarity for the writer's recovery.
For those unfamiliar, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is a direct sequel to Jinwoo's original story, this time focusing on his son, Sung Suho. The young heir seeks to understand his father's legacy and forge a path as grand as his own.
However, the plot's development was impacted by Daul's accident, in which he was hit by a car while walking. Although he did not suffer serious injuries, the author still needs time to recover properly. Therefore, the next chapter of the work has been postponed to January 31st.
Official Statement:
D&C Media the publisher responsible for publishing Solo Leveling under the "Papyrus" imprint, released an official statement explaining the reason for the extended hiatus:
Following detailed examinations during hospitalization, the doctor concluded that further treatment would be necessary, extending the hiatus of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok until January 31, 2025. We ask for the understanding of all readers. Thank you.
Anime and Manhwa: Parallel Paths of Solo Leveling
Although the original manhwa has come to an end, Jinwoo's journey in the anime still promises many exciting moments. The A-1 Pictures production has enough material for several seasons, reinforcing the franchise's continued success. And, with such popularity, it's almost certain that Ragnarok will also get its own animated version in the future.
