The Anime Solo Leveling has now become one of the most popular in the world. The story based on MMORPGs is so exciting that 60 million players are playing it.
Which anime is it about? Solo Leveling is, based on the number of ratings on Crunchyroll, the most-watched anime on the platform. Recently, it achieved the first place, dethroning One Piece.
The anime takes place in a world where mysterious gates suddenly appear, leading to dangerous dungeons filled with monsters. People with special powers, known as hunters, fight the creatures to protect humanity and earn money.

The game based on the anime is really popular
What kind of game is it? While the anime itself is inspired by MMORPGs, the story is based on a Manhwa, a South Korean comic series. However, now you don’t have to read or watch it but can simply play it yourself.
The mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise is also based on the Manhwa and has seen growing player numbers since its release in mid-last year. In the game, you fight against monsters in the dungeons, level up, and become increasingly stronger, earning rewards along the way.
The game also features the same boss encounters as in the Manhwa as well as in the anime. The parallels between the three editions are often almost identical, allowing players to experience the exciting story that has made the anime the most popular on Crunchyroll in various ways.
How popular is the game? Not only the anime is breaking records, but also the game based on the story. Solo Leveling: Arise has now surpassed the mark of 60 million players worldwide (via netmarble.com). This year, the game is also set to release on Steam, which will likely further increase the player numbers.
MMORPGs and animes fascinate many players. It is not surprising that the combination of both is now at the top of popularity. Instead of an MMORPG anime, the developers of Blue Protocol attempted to create an anime MMORPG and have spectacularly failed: Ambitious anime MMORPG fails, global release is canceled
