The second season of the Solo Leveling arrived with full force, breaking records right from the start. The debut episode became the “most liked” on Crunchyroll , surpassing even 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 faces serious problems.
Due to a car accident involving author Daul, the next chapter of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok 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 follow a path as great as his.
However, the development of the plot was impacted by Daul's accident, who was run over while walking. Despite not having suffered serious injuries, the author still needs time to recover properly. As a result, the next chapter of the work was postponed until January 31st.
Official Announcement:
The publisher D&C Media , responsible for publishing Solo Leveling under the “Papyrus” label, released an official note explaining the reason for the prolonged hiatus:
After detailed examinations during hospitalization, the doctor concluded that additional treatment would be necessary, extending the Solo Leveling: Ragnarok hiatus until January 31, 2025. We ask for all readers' understanding. Thanks.
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 a lot of emotions. The production by studio A-1 Pictures has enough material for several seasons, which reinforces the continued success of the franchise. And, with such popularity of the work, it is almost certain that Ragnarok will also have its animated version in the future.
