7 Manhwa Like Solo Leveling That Will Keep You Hooked

If you're still recovering from the Solo Leveling high—trust me, you're not alone.

That mix of god-tier art, overpowered MCs, insane dungeon battles, and the “from zero to hero” grind? It's straight-up addictive. And once it ends, you’re left staring at your screen thinking: "What now?"

Good news? The world of manhwa is loaded with epic series just like Solo Leveling, packed with the same jaw-dropping action, leveling systems, and badass main characters.

So, here are 7 manhwa you’ll love if you’re into Solo Leveling.


1. The Beginning After the End

🎯 Reincarnation | Magic Academy | Power Progression

King Grey was the most powerful ruler in his old life—but when he’s reborn into a fantasy world as Arthur Leywin, he starts over as a baby genius with magic, sword skills, and dragon blood.

Why it's like Solo Leveling:
Overpowered main character, insane glow-ups, and a rich world with deep lore. Arthur = the calm, collected version of Sung Jin-Woo.


2. Leveling Up With the Gods

🎯 Mythology | Regression | Gods vs. Humans

What if Sung Jin-Woo didn’t just get stronger—he went back in time to fix everything? That’s the vibe here. The MC fails, dies, and regresses with the memories of gods to take revenge and rewrite fate.

Why it slaps:
Time regression. Mythology. Relentless power grind. It's Solo Leveling with Olympus-tier energy.


3. Ranker Who Lives a Second Time (Second Life Ranker)

🎯 Revenge | Tower Climbing | Brother’s Legacy

Yeon-woo’s twin brother dies mysteriously after entering a deadly tower filled with trials. So Yeon-woo grabs his brother’s diary and dives into the tower to take revenge—and maybe claim the throne.

Why it's a must-read:
Gritty story, smart strategies, and a vengeful MC who stops at nothing. If you loved the darker, loner vibes of Solo Leveling’s early arcs—you’ll eat this up.


4. I Am the Sorcerer King

🎯 Magic Awakening | Monster Apocalypse | OP MC

Imagine waking up in a world where monsters invade Earth daily—and you find out you were once a sorcerer king in a past life? Now you’re reclaiming that power one blast at a time.

Solo Leveling vibes:
A weak MC gaining godlike powers. Satisfying spell combat. Smooth progression.


5. The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years


🎯 Reincarnation | Academy | Ultra OP Mage

A disgraced student gets possessed by the soul of a mage who was imprisoned for 4000 years. Now he's back—and he’s done playing nice.

Why it works:
Sung Jin-Woo had shadows. This guy has pure rage and magic. Both are unstoppable.


6. Reaper of the Drifting Moon

🎯 Martial Arts | Revenge | Gritty Dark Fantasy

Taken in by an assassin cult and trained to survive a brutal underworld, the MC becomes death itself. Less leveling system, more raw survival—but with the same Solo Leveling satisfaction of watching a monster grow.

Why you’ll love it:
It’s brutal. It’s beautiful. And the MC’s silent fury? Chef’s kiss.


7. Tomb Raider King

🎯 Relics | Time Regression | Artifact Power-Up

Tombs filled with ancient artifacts start appearing, and only the strongest can loot them. The MC is betrayed and killed—but guess what? Time regression. He comes back ready to own every tomb and every traitor.

Solo Leveling comparison:
Dungeon raiding? ✔️
OP gear? ✔️
Revenge-fueled grind? ✔️
All here.


Final Thoughts: What’s Next After Solo Leveling?

Look, nothing will perfectly replace the magic of watching Sung Jin-Woo rise from nothing. But these manhwa come close—and in some cases, they even go beyond.

If you’re craving:

  • Dungeon crawls ✅

  • Power leveling ✅

  • Dark, determined MCs ✅

  • Mind-blowing art ✅

…then dive into any of these, and you’ll be hooked all over again.
