Why Did Solo Leveling Otakudesu Remove Certain Chapters?

I get excited talking about this because the thieving grind in Old School has such distinct flavors depending on how sweaty or chill you want to be. If you want the raw fastest XP per hour and you have the skill to pull it off, 'Blackjacking' in Pollnivneach is the go-to. It unlocks around level 45 thieving and demands constant attention: you stun the bandits with a blackjack, wait for them to slump, then pickpocket while they’re out. When you nail the rhythm you can easily outpace almost every other method. That said, it’s click-heavy and unforgiving if you miss timings. If you prefer something still very fast but slightly less punishing, 'Pyramid Plunder' is fantastic — it scales nicely as your level rises and gives good XP alongside some loot. For early levels, stalls and pickpocketing NPCs are simple and cheap, and master farmers/stalls remain great for bank-friendly training. Personally I mix methods: fast sessions with blackjacking when I’m focused, and PP when I want bursts of high XP without dying to misclicks. It keeps the grind enjoyable rather than brutal, which I prefer.

My most reliable setup for cranking out thieving XP mixes items that either increase pickpocket/stall success or cut down on downtime. I usually wear the Graceful pieces whenever I'm moving between stalls — keeping run energy up with Graceful and a few stamina potions means I spend more time actually thieving instead of jogging back and forth. That alone raises my XP/hour because I don't have to stop and recharge. I also stack thieving-specific bonuses: the Rogue's outfit for better loot from stalls and pickpockets, and an Ardougne cloak from diary rewards for smoother pickpocket runs around the city. I carry basic utilities in my inventory — food for the occasional stun, a few stamina/super energy potions, and teleport tabs so I can reset or bank quickly. If I'm doing pyramid plunder or other minigames I swap in the minigame gear that speeds up room clears. Overall, I focus on success-rate gear plus mobility items: more successful steals and less wasted time = higher XP, and that strategy has consistently felt the fastest for me.

I’ve been riding the 'Solo Leveling' hype train for years and I still get a charge thinking about the ending. The web novel completed its arc a while back, and the comic (the manhwa adaptation) reached a definitive finale too — the core story of Sung Jinwoo’s rise, his climactic battles, and the main plot threads were wrapped up in a satisfying, if sometimes divisive, way. That means the original narrative that drew in millions has a clear end rather than an open, ongoing saga. That said, 'finished' doesn’t mean the world is dead. There’s been steady interest in adaptations and spin-offs: the anime adaptation was officially announced and moved into production, publishers have released compilations and art books, and various licensed projects keep the franchise alive. Officially, though, there hasn’t been an announced sequel continuing the same timeline from the original author — so if you’re craving more Sung Jinwoo-style leveling, you’ll likely be looking at adaptations, side stories, or potential spin-offs rather than a straightforward new season of the original manhwa. Personally, I’m excited to see how the anime expands on visuals and pacing, even if the main story is already complete.

Can't hide how hyped I still get about 'Solo Leveling'—it's one of those series I binge and then re-read when I need a boost. If you're asking specifically about 'Otakudesu', yeah, that site often pops up in search results for manga and manhwa scans. From my experience, sites like 'Otakudesu' typically host fan-translated chapters and scanlations that aren't always authorized, so the quality and legality can be hit-or-miss. If you want the cleanest, safest way to read the manhwa, I usually go to official sources. The licensed English releases for the webtoon adaptation are available on platforms like Tappytoon, and the original Korean chapters are on 'KakaoPage' (though that one is mainly Korean-only). Buying or reading on those official services supports the creators and gives you better translations, higher-resolution art, and no sketchy ads. I still peek at scanlation sites sometimes for older filler or missing pages, but I tend to default to official platforms now — feels better and the experience is smoother. Definitely prefer enjoying Jinwoo's glow-up with high-res panels and fewer pop-ups.

I got pretty into tracking every update back when 'Solo Leveling' was dropping, and here's the short version: the main manhwa finished its run, so there aren’t new main chapters being produced anymore. The official Korean release wrapped up in late 2021 with the final chapter (around chapter 179), so sites like 'Otakudesu' won't have fresh mainline chapters unless there are newly produced side stories, special releases, or official spin-offs that are later translated. That said, if you're seeing new posts on 'Otakudesu' they’re usually older chapters being reposted, fan-made extras, or translations of side content and web novel chapters that some groups work on. For steady, legal updates I follow the official publishers and the artist’s social accounts—those are where any real new material or authorized spin-offs will be announced. Personally, I still enjoy re-reading the whole run and checking artist commentaries and artbooks when they pop up; it scratches that same itch even without brand-new chapters.

I get into heated forum debates about this stuff all the time, so here's my take: fan uploads on Otakudesu often prioritize speed over nuance. They usually do a solid job relaying plot beats and the big emotional moments in 'Solo Leveling', but the prose can be clunky, idioms get literal translations, and honorifics or subtle tone shifts are sometimes flattened. That matters because 'Solo Leveling' uses voice and small cultural cues to shape characters like Sung Jin-Woo and the NPC-like dungeon announcements; losing those can change how a scene reads. On the positive side, Otakudesu and similar sites make chapters available fast and keep the community excited between official releases. If you're reading casually for action and story momentum, you’ll probably be satisfied. If you care about precise expressions, humor, or the author's stylistic choices, compare the fan translation with the official webtoon release when it’s available — official English often cleans up phrasing, fixes context, and sometimes restores omitted lines. Personally, I read both: fan TLs for hype and the official for a calmer, more faithful experience.

Shelf space is sacred to me, and hunting down physical copies of 'Solo Leveling' has been one of my favorite little quests. If you want brand-new, shelf-ready volumes, start with the big online retailers—Amazon and Barnes & Noble almost always carry the official English printings when they’re in stock. Right Stuf Anime is another reliable online shop that specializes in manga/manhwa and often has preorders, box sets, or the occasional special edition. For bricks-and-mortar, big bookstore chains sometimes stock the volumes, but your best bet in person is a local comic shop or an indie bookstore; they can often order a copy for you if it’s out of stock. If you like the hunter’s thrill of scoring rare editions, check out secondhand marketplaces like eBay and Mercari, or local buy/sell groups on social platforms. Conventions and comic cons are great for this too—vendors often bring sets and imported variants. For international collectors, chains like Kinokuniya frequently import English-language releases and tend to carry deluxe or oversized artbooks where available. Pro tip: look up the ISBN of the edition you want before buying so you don’t end up with a different printing or an unofficial scanlation print. I’ve mixed new purchases with a few secondhand finds, and nothing beats the weight of a physical 'Solo Leveling' volume on my shelf. It’s a small, silly joy, but one that makes rereads feel ritualistic and satisfying.

Hunting down a Tamil-dubbed version of 'Solo Leveling' on Telegram can feel like falling down a delightful but risky rabbit hole, so I’ll be frank: I won’t point you to channels that redistribute copyrighted material without permission. Beyond the legal grey area, those channels often vanish overnight, carry malware risks, or host low-quality rips that don’t do justice to the art and writing. I care a lot about creators and the people who do the heavy lifting on localization, so I try to steer my friends toward safe ways to enjoy a series rather than ephemeral, shady links. That said, I also know how hungry fans get for regional dubs, and there are legitimate, safer avenues you can try. First, look for official publishers and platforms that licensed the series — they sometimes announce regional audio or partnered distributors on their social channels. Follow the official pages of the original publisher and any known international licensors for release news. You can also check major legal webcomic/manhwa platforms for localized versions or subtitle options, and keep an eye on official YouTube channels for any sanctioned dubbed promos or special releases. If you want to stay in Telegram, focus on verified or clearly official channels run by publishers, bookstores, or community groups that only share legal updates, news, or purchase links. For Tamil-specific discussions, Reddit communities, Discord servers, and local Facebook groups centered on comics and translations are better for finding leads on authorized releases — members often share where to buy or stream legitimately. Supporting official releases (digital volumes, official apps, licensed print editions) helps push publishers to invest in regional dubbing, so it’s both the ethical and practical play. Personally, I’d rather wait for a high-quality Tamil release that respects the creators than grab a shaky dub that might vanish the next day — it keeps the fandom healthy and the story intact.
