## Thoughts ### Per Episodes #### EP1 - Okay I was putting off watching it but damn that's pretty good #### EP2 - Working so hard to overcome limitations just to die #### EP3 - I wonder how you can advertise this hmm - Determination because of his mom and prior uselessnes - Animation and pacing is so nice holy fk, actually getting goosebumps from the first. fight - WHY DOES IT END HERE AAA I want moreeee #### EP4 - Already insane growth - Giving it your all, putting your life on the line to growr - The question to rest or continue - Always feeling unworthy despite constant growth - Comparison in a healthy way ? using it as a catalyst for pushing yourself? - You do all this solo training, which IRL would be through a personalized plan/deliberate training, and when you come back to the real world's rules and requirements, you outperform - a mix of innovating your methods of growth and the pure determination you have to become stronger - is this relevant in any way? could you say I have been solo levelling? - I just love that scene and how it showcases his growth, quite the payoff #### EP5 - of course lol - omg i forgot about this guy asldkjakdlajsd - sped through a bit since i remember this from anime slightly still, just can't wait for the fight scene alskdjaskldjasdja #### EP6 - Similar to external accountability? - Development of ego in a survival state - The tipping point where your morality and everything else changes after going against such rules #### EP8 - I forget the foreshadowing for this on why everyone is being called againr fk #### EP9 - why doesn't he interfere yet? - people who once knew you in shock by your growth and change - there def is an immoral aspect to the system for the sake of personal growth - rapid decisions, loss in emotion - generalist in abilities - assassin, healing, debuff - learning from each battle, constant growth - they really bring in a niestzche quote LOL - not sure what it means in this context though aside from the emptiness he feels as he mentioned #### EP10 - no one else is growing - he constantly has motivations to grow stronger through bigger obstacles to face. these obstacles have existential consequcnes - dying or surviving and following the system - constant life or death - I just really enjoy the awe people have when they defy the odds and people's expectations - mans is just immoral 💀 i mean at least it's not pure optimism #### EP11 - the animation goes so fkn crazy. fluidity, perspectives, him being shit on, holy - that unexpected 180 is crazy even i forgot how that worked - Just the concept of solo levelling is so well executed by this story #### EP12 - Pure determination despite being put in the worst and most difficult situations - his motive comes from just being the best because he was previously the worst - "Don't push yourself" can be paralleled to society? even his own thoughts? The natural desire to just do what is expected - Being saved from hell of the infinite onslaught his previous penalties are nothing - *blazed his own trail without relying on others* - by being a necromancer, he's levelling up not just himself but others through his efforts - i wonder how this can be analyzed - I'm so glad they managed to get to this part in the anime - shadow soldiers to save the world? how can you rationalize this? - Re-awakening is akin to the quote on your life starting when you realize you have one, similar to matrix with how he is constantly given these choices to make to continue growing throughout the anime. just as mentioned in the last episode, people are stagnating, and the solution is people who take this risk and give it their all ### Rating ### Personal Significance I just love the themes, the anime only amplified the emphasis on the themes and i can't wait for season 2 aaaa ### Themes #### Growth - He is unrecognizable through his efforts and by following the system ### Memorable Scenes ### What I enjoyed ### What I disliked ### Similar
