This article contains spoilers for Solo Leveling and Solo Leveling Ragnarok.
Solo Leveling blew up immediately after the release of its amazing anime adaptation. Solo Leveling’s anime is, however, not the original source. Most fans of the series are well aware of the fact that Solo Leveling is a web novel written by Chugong, a South Korean writer. This webnovel was then adapted into a manhwa, which became the main inspiration for the anime.
Sung Jinwoo's Next Adventure After Solo Leveling Is Coming
A new Solo Leveling sequel might be on the way, and it will center on Sung Jinwoo again.
As far as the Solo Leveling web novel and manhwa go, fans are well aware of the fact that they've now ended. Luckily for the fans, Solo Leveling already has a perfect successor. This successor is an official and canon sequel series, known as Solo Leveling Ragnarok. Solo Leveling: Ragnarok already has a completed web novel, but what most fans are really interested in is the Manhwa. Its manhwa was on hiatus, but it recently marked its big return, and fans also got to see the continuation of the English release as well. With each passing chapter, Solo Leveling Ragnarok continues to prove to the fans that it is the true successor of Chugong’s original work.
Solo Leveling Has An Official Sequel Called Solo Leveling Ragnarok
- Ragnarok Is Written By A Different Author
- It Is Still A Worthy Successor Of Solo Leveling
Solo Leveling has always been popular, even before its anime blew up, but now, it’s a global phenomenon that continues to gain more intensity with each passing year. If anything, fans are looking for more content for the series, expecting bigger things each year. Fans who loved the anime but couldn’t wait for the next season must have already looked into the Manhwa.
The Manhwa for Solo Leveling has already wrapped up, so fans can read the whole story in one go. After that, fans would naturally be on the lookout for more content, and that's where Solo Leveling Ragnarok comes in. Solo Leveling’s official sequel, Solo Leveling Ragnarok, doesn't follow the story of Sung Jinwoo. Instead, it focuses on his son, Sung Suho, who serves as the protagonist.
Solo Leveling Ragnarok’s Manhwa Continues, And The Story Is Getting Very Exciting
Solo Leveling Ragnarok not following the journey of Jinwoo might be a huge turn-off for many fans, but the story is definitely worth checking out. In fact, many who have read Solo Leveling Ragnarok would agree that the story is just as exciting, and perhaps even better written, with better character moments and an even better cast. It wouldn't even be a stretch to say that Sung Suho is written to be an even better character than Jinwoo.

Solo Leveling Ragnarok Is Canon, But Set In A Different Timeline Separate From The Original
A lot of new fans want to check out Solo Leveling Ragnarok, but given that the story is written by a different author, the question of the canonicity of the story often comes into question. In short, the answer to whether Ragnarok is canon is both yes and no.
Solo Leveling Ragnarok is written by a different creator. Instead of Chugong, it’s Daul who created the story. This might lead some to believe that it is non-canon, but Chugong has commented on the matter and clarified this issue. Chugong said that Ragnarok is fan service, but still canon. It is canon to the Solo Leveling Universe, but it’s in its own timeline, and doesn’t affect the events of his original story.
“Ragnarok was a spin-off created for fan service. I was curious to see how another author would write Solo Leveling. This story is part of the Solo Leveling universe, but it isn’t a direct continuation of the main plot. It’s more like one of many possible scenarios — similar to Marvel’s parallel universes.
And of course, I’m also considering the possibility of writing a sequel myself.” — Chugong
In other words, Ragnarok is the true canon of Solo Leveling at the moment. But, it isn't exactly canon to Chugong's own universe. It is set in a different universe, and could starkly differ from Chugong's version of the story. Perhaps, fans will see a different sequel written by Chugong at some point later down the line as well. Until Chugong himself creates a new story, this is the only sequel fans have.
