Synopsis:

JINWOO SUNG, OFFICIALLY S RANK

Leveling up in C-rank dungeons has become next to impossible for Jinwoo. But an E-rank hunter attempting anything higher? Well, that would raise some serious red flags…so the time has come for a reevaluation. And when the results are back, it’s official-Jinwoo is the tenth S-rank hunter from South Korea! An entirely new world, brimming with powerful magic beasts and elite hunters, is now open to him. But before he can immerse himself in it, there’s something absolutely vital he has to do…

Volume three of Chugong’s Solo Leveling covers Jinwoo’s re-evaluation, his time with the mining squad (and meeting with Haein Cha), and some more of his time in the Demons’ Tower. His time with Esil is still pretty funny (dude, she probably has a crush on you!) and I continue to love watching him just get more and more overpowered.

I feel like some things are maybe better handled here, in that I feel like we’ve been hearing about Jeju Island for longer in the light novel than we did in the manhwa, so it just makes sense that it’s the next thing on the horizon.

There’s nothing groundbreaking and new here: if you’re getting tired of Jinwoo’s overpowered adventures, then you probably want to stop here. If you’re enjoying that, and it’s just how Jinwoo will win and not can Jinwoo win, then this continues to be super fun.
