Solo Leveling Is Losing Fans to a Romance Anime Nobody Expected

by

Solo Leveling is a fantastic series, excelling in its animation and featuring a compelling protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo. The second season was particularly strong, highlighted by an epic fight between Jin-Woo and the Ant King on Jeju Island. Unfortunately, a third season hasn’t been announced yet, and this is likely causing some fans to lose interest.

Even though *Solo Leveling* is still incredibly popular, a new romance anime called The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity is quickly gaining a lot of attention. Viewers are loving its sweet story, gorgeous animation, and the believable connection between the main characters, making it a hit with audiences around the world.

Solo Leveling Isn’t Among 2025’s Five Highest-Rated Anime

Solo Leveling Drops to Sixth Place

  • Solo Leveling is behind Lord of the Mysteries.
  • Solo Leveling could drop even further.

Solo Leveling has had an incredible year, earning Crunchyroll’s Anime of the Year award and becoming the most-watched anime on the platform. Because of the success of the two anime seasons, a mobile game, and other related projects, fans are eager to see what happens next with Chugong’s original novel. Despite all this, it’s somewhat unexpected that Solo Leveling recently fell from the top spot as the highest-rated anime of 2025 on MyAnimeList.

Currently, Solo Leveling is ranked #6, behind titles like Lord of the Mysteries, To Be Hero X, Takopi’s Original Sin, The Apothecary Diaries Season 2, and The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity. It’s likely to fall further in the rankings as new seasons of popular shows such as My Hero Academia and Spy x Family are released and gain viewers.

Even though interest has dipped recently, fans of anime and manhwa are optimistic about the future of Solo Leveling, particularly if it gains traction in Japan. With continued anime releases, it has the potential to become as popular as huge hits like Naruto, Dragon Ball, and Demon Slayer, ensuring the franchise remains successful for many years. Jin-Woo’s story is still unfolding in the anime, meaning there’s plenty more to come.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Ranks Higher Than Solo Leveling

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Is The Highest-Rated Romance Anime of 2025

This shows how much viewers have connected with this heartwarming and character-focused romance. However, a second season of ‘The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity’ hasn’t been announced yet, leaving fans eager for more.

Whether you prefer one over the other, both anime are excellent examples of their respective genres. *Solo Leveling* is setting a new high bar for action-packed power fantasies, while *The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity* is bringing a fresh perspective to romance anime.

Solo Leveling Season 3 Could Still Be Far Off

Solo Leveling Fans Are Losing Patience

I’ve noticed a common trend with anime: when new episodes stop coming out, interest tends to fade, and Solo Leveling is experiencing that now. People are starting to worry about how delaying Season 3 might impact the whole series, especially as newer shows are grabbing attention and becoming more popular. That’s why so many fans are hoping for some news – even just a quick update or teaser – to keep the hype for Solo Leveling alive.

There’s currently no official announcement about *Solo Leveling* Season 3, leaving fans eager to find out when Sung Jin-Woo’s story will continue. Neither the animation studio, A-1 Pictures, nor the show’s producers have given a release date, which is disappointing for viewers. However, some fans think the delay might actually be a positive sign, suggesting A-1 Pictures is working hard to make the next season even better.
