Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.10 years ago, after “the Gate” that connected the real world with the monster world opened, some of the ordinary, everyday people received the power to hunt monsters within the Gate. They are known as “Hunters”.
However, not all Hunters are powerful. My name is Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter. I’m someone who has to risk his life in the lowliest of catacombs, the “World’s Weakest”.
Having no skills whatsoever to display, I barely earned the required money by fighting in low-leveled catacombs… at least until I found a hidden catacomb with the hardest difficulty within the D-rank catacombs!
In the end, as I was accepting death, I suddenly received a strange power, a quest log that only I could see, a secret to leveling up that only I know about! If I trained in accordance with my quests and hunted monsters, my level would rise.
Changing from the weakest Hunter to the strongest S-rank Hunter!

You can straight up see the author's blatant hate for Japan when he writes all Japanese as selfish, back-stabbing, conceited people, looking down on others and S. Korea, then proceed to degrade the Japanese even worse in the aftermath of that arc.
Even after the system gets removed from MC since he becomes the "Dark God" that was possessing him (said "Dark God" being one of Nine, who were fighting against the "Light Gods"; the backstory is something like a classic story whereby the original one "God" created "Light Gods" and 8 "Dark Gods", making them fight each other, once they found out they were being used as entertainment for "God", "Light Gods" rebel while only 1 choose to stay loyal but gets killed along with "God". The loyal "Light God" awakened his Death powers upon death and became one of the 9 "Dark Gods". Fast forward and that "Dark God" had to possess a human on Earth which was to be the new battlefield against the "Light Gods", just as the other "Dark Gods" had done. But his and another "Dark God's" powers were too great for normal humans to handle so he created a system to let MC get a body capable of fully housing the "Dark God".), the power levels become broken by that point since no satisfactory explanation is given to why MC's powers as a "Dark God" is stronger than everyone except the Last Boss "Dark God". You are just expected to accept it and move on.
Then the final battle: MC surrounded by enemies, decides to use an AOE stun skill in the presence of Last Boss, Last Boss was unaffected but was grabbed on the wrist by MC so that they can teleport to a secluded location for some lovemaking (just kidding). Last Boss, instead of killing MC at the moment he was groped on the wrist, choose to let MC teleport them away. Finally, MC manages to break the barrier between worlds to let the "Light Gods" in to kill exhausted Last Boss.
MC then asks for one more time-reversal so that he can go back 10yrs in time before everything began to kill the other "Dark Gods" so that everything that has happened so far doesn't happen. (Dungeons and monsters appeared to inject mana into Earth as "Light Gods" wanted humans to get strong enough to survive the upcoming war between "Light Gods" and "Dark Gods" on Earth. Why choose Earth of all places? Because the author from The Great & Glorious S. Korea say so.)
Novel then skips to the fact that MC has succeeded in killing all other "Dark Gods" and Earth is at peace thanks to this Korean MC who sacrificed 30+ years killing the other "Dark Gods". The End.
Side stories (aka After Stories) : It is revealed that MC could cause bad things to happen to the world while attracting other "Foreigners" from other worlds due to his existence in a normal world without Magic. MC doesn't care, choose to hang around instead of copying what other novels do where they create a separate consciousness with a normal human body to inhabit Earth. MC also able to easily defeat the "Foreigners" that were coincidentally weaker than him just because; so no harm done there.
Interesting premise ruined by poor execution. It's starts with interesting premise but when main character become strongest hunter in the world it quickly go downhill from there. My main gripe with this novel what it have plot point which don't go anywhere. Remember nurse which he get phone number? You never hear from her. What about Juhee healer from first party which we see? Who's what? Later main character create guild for himself, what he do with it? Absolutely nothing. But the main sin which author commit by completely botching finale:
After becoming complete shadow monarch main hero use artifact to go back 10 years in time with his power and battle other monarchs in dimensions gaps (or whatever they call it) for 29 years (but only few years on earth) completely erasing future there gate appear on earth. And the main kick in teeth its all take place in just few chapters. Even Big Bad unceremoniously killed off-screen and we only presented with this fact. After what we get another couple dozen of chapters about how main character return to earth return to earth, de-age himself, and go with his ordinary live. Just EPIC!| X_X'|
-
- It picks up very nicely with good elements such as the leveling system (as per the name of the novel).

- As the story develops, all S ranks are floored just to show how insanely OP our protagonist is. I have no problems with an OP protagonist, but I have a problem when side characters are made completely useless and forgettable.

- Overall I wasted my time reading this.

- Story is a bit of a propaganda piece if you pay attention to how the author talks about international politics and other nations, even going as far as shitting on japan I kid you not.
- The pacing is completely OFF, if the author cared to pace this properly and have a proper fleshed out story it would have clocked in at a bit under 400 chapters. Overall the premise is good, but the delivery is shockingly bad. Instead I suggest for readers to stick to the ManHwa since the person doing that paces it better.
That's all folks.One of his early main reasons to become strong and level up is to save his mother, sadly she is an empty character literally only used as a plot device to get him stronger
An example of forgotten side characters is: When he climbs the demon lords 100 floor tower, he comes along one of 20 royal blood line noble families. He befriends one of the demon family, and destroy the rest including the demon king thus completing the system quest. The process of befriending the single demon noble family was fairly fleshed out, even calling the demon chick "cute", she and her noble family never pop up again, not even in the god awful finale.
if you don't want to waste your own time reading, drop the story after completing the jeju island raid
"I Alone Level-Up""Korean Jesus the Novel" spends third of this story boasting about Korea and shitting on... more>>- the MC - now I know that there are some who don’t like the MC, but I like how his character was developed. Since I didn’t start to read the beginning through this novel but through the manhwa, I definitely loved how the MC’s courage was developed. The account of what happened before he acquired his special levelling powers; I felt goosebumps while reading that part, honestly. I was able to embrace and sympathise with his fears at the beginning to the point wherein I celebrated when he faced his fears and overcame. Also, I appreciate that his personality changed the moment he grew stronger. Somehow, because of the betrayal he experienced at the beginning, his naivety was gone. Some might say that he is ruthless, but for me, I say that it was all because of what he went through. I also appreciated stories with MCs who are ruthless but with reasons. He became who he is because of what he went through.
- the other characters - there aren’t many novels that could make me like the side characters. The other characters had their own backgrounds and stories as well, even the one who betrayed the MC in the beginning. Also, their POVs weren’t as exaggerated as Sovereign of The Three Realms, wherein the other characters praise the MC too much for my liking. It was too shallow. This novel, on the other hand, was written well., I look forward to reading the other characters POV in this novel.
- the plot - it’s consistent. True to its title, the plot remained consistent. Its seriousness, setting, characters, etc; all are consistent to the plot. When I first read the title, I thought it would be like the other novels with ‘levelling plotline’ wherein it would be light and fun to read. But to my surprise, this novel has a serious and dark plot after all - which is a plus as it made the novel belong to a few unique ones. The way it was written made me feel its atmosphere. So I guess it also boils down to the author’s style of writing..?
