The 3rd season of the anime for Solo Leveling is still awaited. Fans can occupy themselves with the world of hunters in the meantime. However, there is good news and bad news. Which news do you want to hear first? The bad one? Okay, then here comes the shock!
What is the bad news? Solo Leveling continued after the events surrounding protagonist Sung Jin-woo as Solo Leveling Ragnarok. Here, readers were able to experience the story of his son Sung Su-ho. But as the author of the original web novel announced, the story is now over.
On the Korean web novel site Kakao, there is a message dated July 23, 2025, stating that Solo Leveling Ragnarok officially ends:
Hello, this is Papyrus. Author Daul’s “Solo Level Up: Ragnarok” has concluded with chapter 375. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the readers who have followed “Solo Level Up: Ragnarok” so far. Thank you very much.
Accordingly, the original, on which the Manhwa and the anime are based, will not continue. But that is no reason to be sad, as we still have the good news up our sleeves. Do you remember?
Fans of Solo Leveling still have new content
What is the good news? The Manhwa for Solo Leveling Ragnarok is entering the next round! After a 4-month break, the new season of the Manhwa starts and tells new stories with Sung Su-ho (to be seen on Kakao Page).
So while the web novel ends, the Manhwa still continues.
What is the difference? To clarify: The web novel is what the story of Solo Leveling is based on and is structured like a book. From this, a Manhwa, the Korean equivalent of manga, developed. From the Manhwa, the anime was then produced.
There are several differences between the web novel and the Manhwa:
- The Manhwa mixes up the order of arcs and introduces antagonists as well as allies at different points in the story.
- There are exclusive contents in the Manhwa.
- The side characters have somewhat different backgrounds, for example, the reptilian humanoid Ammut.
- In the Manhwa, the narrative is more action-oriented and focuses more on the visual representation of fights and dynamic scenes.
Additionally, the Manhwa and the web novel have different authors. Chugong was responsible for the web novel of Solo Leveling, while Daul took over the sequel. The Manhwas were each adapted by Studio REDICE, albeit with different lead illustrators.
There is still little information known about the 3rd season of Solo Leveling. However, through hints from some producers, we can piece together how things stand with the continuation of the anime.
