Solo Leveling anime has garnered over 621,800 ratings on Crunchyroll despite only having 23 episodes, covering roughly one-third of the original source material.

Solo Leveling anime recorded yet another huge milestone by becoming Crunchyroll's most-rated anime, surpassing popular series including One Piece and Demon Slayer. The anime boasts 622,000 ratings on Crunchyroll with 97% of them being 5-star ratings. In comparison, One Piece has recorded 603,200 ratings, while Demon Slayer has received 589,300 ratings.

One of the most impressive aspects to this achievement is that it has set this record with only two seasons and 23 episodes, a significant contrast to One Piece, which currently has 1,122 episodes airing, and Demon Slayer, which consists of 63 episodes. Furthermore, Solo Leveling is set for additional success, as seasons 1 and 2 have only covered approximately one-third of its source material, leaving plenty of room for expansion in future seasons.

The current season marks just the beginning of Sung Jin-Woo's journey, as he has recently undergone a class selection, officially recognized as an S-Rank Hunter, and preparing to conquer his first S-Rank Dungeon. Fans can anticipate more exciting action and the introduction of stronger characters as the story develops following the Manhwa (Webtoon) and Web Novel.
