Reviews

As my first review, I wanted to dive into this particular anime for one reason: the hype surrounding its animation. TikTok clips had me intrigued, with some claiming its visuals rivaled the likes of Jujutsu Kaisen. Having already read the manhua (Chinese comics), I wasn’t here for the story—it’s essentially a weaker version of Solo Leveling, both in the manhua and now in its anime adaptation. But I thought, "Maybe the animation could make up for it." So, I gave it a shot.

The first episode delivered on its promise. The three-minute fight sequence was stunning—arguably on par with JJK, if not slightly better. However, my excitement quickly faded with episodes two and three. The quality took a nosedive, with poorly animated frames reminiscent of the infamous Seven Deadly Sins Season 3 disaster. It felt like the trailer baited us with peak animation only to leave us disappointed afterward. Sure, there might be future episodes with high-priority scenes that look great, but consistency is clearly lacking.

If you’re looking for something akin to Solo Leveling and don’t mind a subpar story, this anime might still be enjoyable. However, if you’re chasing peak-quality animation or storytelling, this isn’t it. It feels more like a forgettable street food experience—momentarily satisfying but nothing special. For now, Solo Leveling remains leagues ahead in both story and consistency.
