Welcome to Litsy!

I had to include some of the Solo Leveling manhwa in here somewhere! There were a lot of four star reads in August and no five stars, and this was a volume I particularly liked as Jinwoo protected Jinah. Also, as ever

Honourable mention to Rachel Harrison's Cackle, though! I was very torn.

Again, pretty close to the light novel, so no major surprises. Some of the characters don't look how I imagined, but now I can't imagine them any other way, so that's pretty neat.

This was my 400th (and final) book finished in 2025, and also finished off my second #ComicsBingo card!

The manhwa is a pretty close adaptation of the light novel, which I read pretty recently, so not a lot jumped out and surprised me. I like the art, which is similar in style to Solo Leveling (which makes sense, both Redice Studio). Sometimes the light novel explains things better, sometimes the manhwa.

I'm having fun and definitely want to read more.

Somehow I'm feeling the Dokja/Joonghyuk vibes more from this though.

This is moving away from the plots I find interesting. It‘s still good, I‘m just not as invested

How is Beru (a vaguely humanoid ant ghost soldier) so CUTE sometimes??

Lots more showdowny stuff, Jinwoo powers up EVEN MORE, and a certain long-awaited reunion... yeah. 💙 And I can't believe the next volume is coming to the end?

Yikes, it's all go in this volume! I'm a bit sad for Jinho that Jinwoo doesn't refer to him as a friend (unless there's a weird translation thing going on?).

Really really curious what exactly has happened to Jinwoo's father.

Oh nooo, that's a really rude cliffhanger.

Also, the plot thickens quite a bit in this volume! I really want vol 11 soon.

Actually Vol. 13…

Fantastic, heart-pounding, world-on-the-edge-of-total-destruction conclusion to a great series. Jinwoo Sung has one last battle to fight and it‘s going to take everything he has to save the people he loves…oh yeah, and the world too. Epic battles, snarky bad guys (lots and lots of them), and tough decisions. Super fun read and best of all the story is going to continue with a new generation. Can‘t wait to read more!

We get some answers! Kinda. Not very many.

I've ended up loving the fact that nothing really challenges Jinwoo. He just gets more and more overpowered, and that's fun.

Oof, poor Haein Cha. Jinwoo's so oblivious.

Loved him dashing to help his sister. 💙

Lots of action in this volume, not too much nattering, meaning it sped by.
