Synopsis:

After saving Jinho from the vengeful Dongsoo Hwang, Jinwoo makes a public declaration that he will protect his family and friends no matter what. But when a close ally is killed in a sudden attack by the otherworldly Monarchs, Jinwoo is forced to reexamine who it is he wants to protect—and just how far he’ll go to do so.

It’s difficult at this point — volume 11 — to say stuff about the Solo Leveling manhwa that doesn’t risk being either spoilery or obvious. As usual, Jinwoo’s ridiculously OP, and it’s glorious to see. We get a bit more info about Jinwoo’s dad and what’s to come, and we get some big badass new enemies for him (who he immediately trashtalks, love him).

I did feel a bit sad for Jinho when Jinwoo referred to someone else as his “only” friend, though! Unless there’s something weird going on with the translation, that seems unfair. Not that Jinho heard it, but still, ouch.

I must admit that the (frequent) fight scenes usually don’t do a lot for me because I’m not great with visual interpretations, so I love when Jinwoo stops to strategise, or others comment on his fights. It’s quite the spectacle, just not something I find visually very useful.
