Return To Player
Author: Index, Sehon
Release Years: Ongoing
Genre: Action, Fantasy
Return To Player explores a tale of mythology combined with the reality of modern society. Humanity lived rather ordinarily until a decade ago when a group of gods turned humanity into players of a deadly and sadistic game of minster killing. One of these such players is the protagonist, Sehan Kim, who has already seen how it all ends— the destruction of all of humanity except for himself. As humanity’s last remaining survivor, Sehan is given another chance to go back in time for a second playthrough.

This time, however, this joyous game of death of the gods will not go as planned as Sehan is determined to control the threads of fate in this second playthrough. Armed with the experience of the first playthrough, Sehan vows to beat the gods at their own game.

Nano Machine

Anime-Planet Rating: 4.4/5

Author: Hanjung Wolya, Geumgang Bulgoe
Release Years: Ongoing
Genre: Action, Fantasy, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Nano Machine is a manhwa series following a protagonist that obtained power in a manner similar to that of Sung Jin-Woo. At the start of the series, Cheon Yeo Woon obtained the Nano Machine, a unique power-up system, from his mysterious descendant. This “Nano Machine” helped Cheon Yeo Woon learn martial arts in a profound manner.

After going through rigorous training, with the Nano Machine’s aid, Cheon was able to master incredible swordsmanship that enabled him to earn the rank of the Vice-Lord, heir to the throne of the Great Heavenly Demonic Cult. Nano Machine embodies the weak-to-strong theme present in Solo Leveling. It’s the perfect replay of the manhwa but in a different world and setting.

Second Life Ranker

Anime-Planet Rating: 4.3/5
yeon-woo and his brother

Author: Sadoyeon, Nongnong
Release Years: Ongoing
Genre: Action, Fantasy
Second Life Ranker is a fantasy series that shares striking similarities with the Solo Leveling series. However, on the contrary, the manhwa begins on a tragic note. With the protagonist, Yeon-woo, suddenly receiving news of his younger brother’s death, he is forced to journey into the Obelisk to inquire about the tower’s secrets and ultimately learn about the cause of his brother’s death.

The Obelisk is a unique tower that grants one magical abilities as they ascend and undergo perilous adventures. Eventually, Yeon-woo gains formidable powers and magical abilities, signaling the overpowered protagonist trope present in Solo Leveling. Second Life Ranker is a must-read for Solo Leveling fans as it takes readers through Solo Leveling-like adventures but in a different setting.
