With the second season of the Solo Leveling anime currently airing, fans are eager to continue Jinwoo’s journey as quickly as possible, even if it means turning to the manhwa before the comes to an end.

The anime adaptation’s first season concluded last year on March 31, 2024, and covered up to Chapter 45. It wrapped up the Job Change Arc and saw Sung Jinwoo’s transformation into the Shadow Monaarch, where he used his resurrection skill for the first time and made Igris his soldier.

For those that wish to dive in to the manhwa without watching Season 2, Chapter 46 is the natural starting point in the Webtoon. On the other hand, for fans who prefer the novel version of Solo Leveling, there is a slight difference in chapter numbering.

Novel readers should begin with Chapter 56 to access the same content covered in the manhwa starting from Chapter 46. This discrepancy arises from variations in pacing and chapter length between the formats.
