Solo Levelinghas many highlights, all of which the Jeju Island Arc has been widely regarded as the most anticipated storyline in the anime adaptation. Yet, the way that the Arc has been portrayed in the manhwa sparked debates among fans. This is particularly true regarding Sung Jinwoo’s rapid rise in power.
The arc’s focus is on Jinwoo’s first public appearance as an S-rank hunter and not the emotional impact and the stakes that the background charged intensely. Jinwoo’s showing off came with the challenge of balancing his dominance without undermining the tension of the story and the result was an exciting yet extremely controversial battle against the Ant King, Beru.
It felt as if Beru was just a foil or a stepping stone for Jinwoo to shine after defeating. The Jeju Arc promised high stakes, with Beru established as a terrifying enemy who decimated Japan’s elite hunters with ease.
Sung Jinwoo’s dominance could be a problem or an anticipated move
The legacy fans that have been following the work of the author straight up from when it was just a web novel have a fair idea as to how the balance between Jinwoo showing off andAnt King being brought to justiceworked, but when it came to the webtoons, the impact of Jinwoo making a global appearance seemed to overshadow any built background or story of the Ant-King.
However, Jinwoo’s entrance into the main scene when the whole world is watching and hiseffortless way of defeating Beruleft some fans feeling underwhelmed.
There was a lot of build-up with the national-level hunters and S-class hunters losing their lives to the Jeju Island ant armies and the Ant King being a massive hurdle to surpass.

Yet, after episodes of buildup showcasing Beru as an unstoppable monster, Jinwoo’s near-instant victory seemed to trivialize the fight’s impact.
Jeju Arc’s Role in Building Momentum
Despite the criticism from many fans regarding the underwhelming end to a highly anticipated Arc, many others believe Jinwoo’s overwhelming victory was precisely what made the arc so memorable.
The Jeju Arc was indeed a platform that helped establish the dominance and power of Sung Jinwoo on the global stage before the worldwide audience. It wasn’t justabout defeating Beru; it marked the emergence of a global force that was capable of rivaling national-level hunters.
The Arc stands as a point of comparison that shows the contrast between Beru’s terror when faced with an insurmountable opponent and Jinwoo’s calm, adding to the dramatic showcasing of Jinwoo’s evolution from a weak E-rank hunter to a supreme and undefeatable warrior.

While the manhwa might have prioritized showcasing Jinwoo’s overwhelming power, the fans believe that it is not a bad thing since the overpowered protagonist does need opportunities to shine.
