Solo Leveling Ep. 6 "The Real Hunt Begins" really lives up to its episode title. It's the episode where Sung Jin-woo finds out the world of Hunters is a dog eat dog world, and that it's kill or be killed. Fortunately, he's got an eldritch video game on his side, so it's all good. Solo Leveling Ep.

Solo Leveling Ep. 5 "A Pretty Good Deal" is the episode where Sung Jin-woo realizes a very important lesson in life. It's not that he shouldn't take unnecessary risks, since he seems to be pretty good at calculated ones. It's not even that he needs to remember that he has human friends who are just
