There's nothing quite like the high of Solo Leveling — the weakest hunter becoming unstoppable, the satisfying "ding" of levelling up, the gorgeous fight scenes. So when you finish it, the hole it leaves is real. The good news: Korean webtoons are full of stories built on that same addictive power-fantasy DNA.
Here are the best webtoons to read next if you loved Solo Leveling — ranked from the closest matches to the broader "you'll still love it" picks.
Three things: a game-like "system" (levels, quests, stats), a satisfying power climb from zero to god-tier, and incredible action art. Every pick below nails at least one of these. Already read Solo Leveling? It's in our best action & fantasy webtoons list too.
What to read after Solo Leveling
The only reader of an obscure web novel suddenly finds himself living inside it — as the apocalypse it described begins for real. Armed with knowledge of how the story ends, he fights to survive a world of monsters, "scenarios," and a literal star-rating system. Epic, emotional, and endlessly clever.
An ordinary student wakes up one day to discover his entire life now works like a video game — complete with stat windows, skill points, quests, and level-ups he can grind in real life. The purest "system" webtoon out there, and one of the originals that defined the genre.
The #1 ranked player of the world's biggest virtual game loses everything in a single night — his rank, his power, his progress — and has to claw his way back from level one. Explosive, colourful action set inside a fully-realised game world, from a beloved Korean creator.
A low-ranked hunter gains a terrifying power: he can copy the abilities of anyone he kills — including, fatally, himself. By dying over and over he grows impossibly strong. A dark, gripping take on the hunters-and-dungeons world Solo Leveling fans know so well.
When a popular game suddenly becomes reality, a former game-streamer who memorised every detail of it is the most prepared person alive. He uses his insider knowledge to climb the tower of monsters faster than anyone. Fast-paced, knowing, and very satisfying.
A kind-hearted boy with secret super-speed teams up with a grumpy, immensely powerful awakened being trapped in the body of a fat cat. Warmer and funnier than Solo Leveling, but with some of the best-drawn, most thrilling fight sequences in all of webtoons.
