Solo Leveling has good story and great action. It also does one thing better than any other anime I can think of, it moves the story forward by incorporating any cannon into the action or very short conversations, minimizing the need for characters to "explain" things to the audience.

Frieren is great for incorporating a lot of what different people want to see. For my take, it's bogged down in fitting too much in, trying to please everybody.

Where it fell flat for me was the lack of a story development that held my attention. I stayed with it for the whole first season but just wasn't as held by it as much as most of the other anime in the article.
