Solo Leveling is a massively popular series now that its anime adaptation has gotten widespread fame, international acclaim, and many accolades. Not only does it shine in the aspect of visuals, but its narrative is intriguing and gripping, amassing a massive number of fans in a short period.
But what is going on when it comes to the manhwa side? The anime adaptation comes from the webtoon of Solo Leveling; the visuals were also taken from there. After Solo Leveling ended, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok took its place as the successor.
While Solo Leveling was written as a web novel by Chugong, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is being written by Daul (with the support and consent of the original author Chugong). After the web novel, fans have long believed that Sung Jin-Woo’s journey had reached its ultimate conclusion. But is this really the case?
The stunning revelation that changes everything
After 318 chapters of intense battles, power-ups, and world-altering events, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok seemed to have wrapped up. However, a shocking statement from Solo Leveling: Ragnarok author Daul has turned the ideas of the fans upside down.
According to Daul, everything readers have experienced so far was merely an epilogue. This might seem like a taunt or a way to hype, but he specifies that the original Solo Leveling reached its ultimate end through those 300 chapters at the beginning of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. The real prologue of Ragnarok was only just beginning.

If the original story was just an epilogue, then what does that mean for the future of the franchise? How much stronger can Sung Jinwoo get, and what will we see him doing? How will the story of Suho tie up with Jinwoo’s?
With the prologue set to begin soon, fans are now questioning the true scope of the series and whether this was where it was planned to head to all this time.
Was Solo Leveling just the beginning?
In most stories, an epilogue is a brief conclusion that ties up loose ends. But in Solo Leveling’s case, it spans 318 chapters and is essentially the size of an entire web novel.
This revelation forces fans to reconsider the scope of Jinwoo’s journey and look beyond the main characters into the Solo Leveling universe. If 318 chapters were just the epilogue, then Ragnarok might have a lot of grand events planned to go.

The upcoming prologue could introduce a variety of unexpected twists like a new, even greater threat beyond what Jinwoo has faced. The expanded lore on the Monarchs and Rulers, revealing their true role after all this time or even other characters who can rival Jinwoo’s power.
Fans are now speculating wildly about what’s to come, be it a battle with the Outer Gods or new powerups, the Solo Leveling world doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon.
Solo Leveling is available on Crunchyroll, and Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is available on Tapas.
