The King Of Manhwa Is Getting An Anime, And It’s Coming For Solo Leveling’s Crown

by

Right now, Solo Leveling is the most popular anime based on a manhwa. The series, which follows Sung Jinwoo, has become a global hit and one of the biggest successes in recent years. However, with any popular show, new contenders emerge. Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is quickly gaining attention and could soon challenge Solo Leveling as the top series.

Solo Leveling Is Currently the Most Popular Anime Based on a Manhwa

Solo Leveling is the Most Popular Crunchyroll Anime

Before 2024, anime adaptations of Korean webcomics (manhwa) generally didn’t receive much attention, with Tower of God being a notable exception. However, the release of Solo Leveling changed everything. In 2025, Solo Leveling made history by becoming the first manhwa anime to win Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Awards – a well-deserved achievement for the genre.

Solo Leveling quickly became the most popular anime on Crunchyroll, a remarkable accomplishment. Currently, it has the most ratings and the highest score of any series on the platform – a huge success for a show with only 25 episodes, considering it shares space with giants like One Piece, Demon Slayer, and Attack on Titan. Sung Jinwoo’s action-packed story has clearly resonated with millions of viewers, and with its second season, it’s a strong contender to win Anime of the Year at the 2026 Crunchyroll Awards.

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Could Become The Next Solo Leveling

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Anime Has Already Been Confirmed

While Solo Leveling is currently the most popular anime adapted from a South Korean webcomic (manhwa), that might not be the case for long. Solo Leveling’s success took many by surprise, and now other studios are eager to adapt more manhwa into anime, hoping to find the next big hit. One series with a lot of potential is Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. It’s considered to be on a similar scale to Solo Leveling, and many predict it could become just as popular – or even surpass it – once it’s adapted into an anime.

The popular web novel Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is getting an anime adaptation! The news was officially announced at Crunchyroll Anime Expo 2024. Even more exciting, Aniplex – the studio behind the successful anime Solo Leveling – will be producing it. Given Aniplex and A-1 Pictures’ fantastic work on Solo Leveling, which has been praised as one of the best anime in recent years, fans have high hopes. Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is known for its compelling story and thrilling action, and many believe it has the potential to be even better than Solo Leveling if adapted well.

When Will Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Anime Be Released?

The anime adaptation of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is happening, but details are still scarce. Since the initial announcement, there haven’t been any new updates, leaving fans curious about its progress. It’s been two years, and people are wondering what Crunchyroll and Aniplex have accomplished with the series. Aniplex might be taking a careful approach, aiming for a quality similar to Solo Leveling. Alternatively, the project could be temporarily paused while they prioritize other anime, which would be frustrating for fans.

Fans are hoping to hear some news about the project this year, and ultimately, when they can expect it to be released. Considering how development is progressing – and the limited information available – a release in 2027 or 2028 seems like a reasonable expectation for Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.
