4 Great Solo Leveling Replacements To Read While You Wait for Season 3

by

Season 2 of *Solo Leveling* was a huge hit, quickly becoming one of the most popular anime of Winter 2025. The show grabbed viewers with its original story, intense fights, and unexpected twists. Over two seasons, the anime adapted over 100 chapters and 13 story arcs from the original source material. However, with no news yet about a third season, many fans are now reading the original manhwa to find out what happens next in Jin Woo’s story.

Since the manhwa *Solo Leveling* only has around 200 chapters, dedicated fans have likely already finished reading it. If you’re one of them and are eager for more content while you wait for season 3 of the anime, you might be looking for something similar to read. We’ve searched for other manhwa that capture the same excitement as *Solo Leveling* and found a few that can help fill the gap left by the end of season 2.

4) The Beginning After the End

The story of *The Beginning After the End* centers around King Grey, who unexpectedly dies and is reborn as a child named Arthur Leywin in a world filled with magic. Arthur retains all his memories and knowledge from his previous life and is determined to make different choices this time around. He quickly makes friends and uses his past experience and natural abilities to excel in both combat and magic, becoming a remarkably gifted young man.

Sung Jinwoo from *Solo Leveling* and Arthur Leywin from *The Beginning After the End* are very different characters, but they both begin as weak individuals who become incredibly powerful. While *The Beginning After the End* feels more like a traditional isekai story than *Solo Leveling’s* game-inspired world, it’s a great choice for fans of the action, sacrifice, and reincarnation themes found in *Solo Leveling*.

3) Nano Machine

The story of *Nano Machine* centers around Cheon Yeo-Woon, an orphaned outcast from a powerful and dangerous martial arts sect. Facing constant threats from enemies, his life takes an unexpected turn when a time traveler arrives and equips him with nanomachines. These tiny machines revolutionize his abilities, greatly improving his healing, fighting skills, and overall strategic thinking.

This manhwa is a thrilling revenge story about Cheon Yeo-Woon, who gains incredible power and sets out to destroy the Demonic Cult. Fans of action-packed series like *Solo Leveling* and *Nano Machine* will enjoy its blend of fantasy, compelling character development, stunning artwork, and exciting battles. If you’re looking for another captivating read like *Solo Leveling*, *Nano Machine* is sure to keep you hooked.

2) Legend of the Northern Blade

The Northern Heavenly Sect’s warriors protected the world from a dangerous and secretive group called Silent Night. However, when the sect leader was falsely accused of treason and took his own life under intense pressure, the sect fell apart. His son, Jin Mu-Won, was left alone and ridiculed. With his family destroyed, Jin Mu-Won fled to the mountains, carrying only the fighting skills his father had taught him.

Driven by a desire to avenge his father, he begins training alone. After a painful loss, he returns home with a new purpose: to become powerful, get revenge, shield the helpless, and honor his father’s name. Like Sung Jinwoo in *Solo Leveling* and Jin Mu-Won in *Legend of the Northern Blade*, he finds strength through isolation and sheer willpower. *Legend of the Northern Blade* offers a similarly thrilling experience to *Solo Leveling*, packed with intense action, political intrigue, and compelling characters.

1) Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint 

In *Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint*, Kim Dokja is just a regular office worker with one big hobby: reading a web novel about the end of the world. When the novel’s apocalyptic events suddenly start happening in real life, Dokja is surprisingly prepared. Because he’s already read the entire story, he’s the only one who knows what’s going to happen and tries to use that knowledge to rewrite the future.

Both *Solo Leveling*’s Sung Jinwoo and *Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint*’s Kim Dokja have special abilities that make their stories captivating, even though they differ in how they approach challenges. Each character is exceptionally powerful thanks to a unique advantage. Fans of *Solo Leveling* will likely enjoy *Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint* because it also features a fast-moving, exciting plot filled with unexpected twists and turns.
