Solo Leveling begins to heat up as our warrior gets meaner.

That's the route it seems to be taken. Our main Jinwoo keeps growing in strength but a bit of his humanity slips away. Especially when he kills people. I do like that he isn't just evil or mean for the sake of it, just more serious, and gets shit done when shit needs to be handled. It's a dark approach that actually works. The action also stays highly entertaining, with how fast and brutal it can be.

I'd say the only thing I didn't love about this chapter was the whole "luck" survive moment. It felt out of place. Everything else, from coning a con man, to fighting an assassin, really worked for me. Excited to see where we go in volume 4.
