[Cloudedmind]

Looking forward to season two so I can finally see some of my favorite characters in action.

In my experience, they usually do make sense. All you gotta do is consider the context that brought about these insecurities.

There is no context that could give rise to the alleged insecurities that were shown in that scene.

Like, why on earth, would a guy gain insecurities about being a weakling after, and only after, not before, becoming a badass? That makes absolutely no sense.

Him starting to lose steam and losing his life despite how hard he worked to get stronger? I feel like that's sufficient enough.

But he always had those insecurities. It's partially why he's so motivated to get stronger.

Always? When?

[Mad Pierrot]

So it was like the title after all. Everything focused on Jinwoo. I thought by the opening there would be more characters besides the sister and the other girl I don't remember her name. I just hope the MC's personality doesn't change like those commentaries I heard about him going edgelord (his new job....).

Like in episode 2? It's not like he liked being humanit's weakest hunter.

Highly detailed animation but lacks in story or much characterization.

7/10

I'm not asking whether or not he liked being the weakest. I'm asking when he had confidence issues.

Isn't it tied together though? It's because he hated being weak that he had confidence issues.

[Dengar]

Idk man. There's a lot of things I don't like, doesn't mean I have confidence issues about them.

But I feel like he's brought it up enough in his quest to be stronger to indicate he was really self-conscious about it.

[Mad Pierrot]

You think that with new powers he has, Jinwoo might revive the people killed in previous episodes? I mean there has to be a big deal with choosing necromancer out of everything the "game" offered

I don't think there's any bodies left.

"I want to be stronger" and "I will never be stronger" are two entirely different things to think. The latter in particular was never mentioned after he became a player. Whatever that even means because the show explains absolutely nothing. Of course it wasn't mentioned. He can become stronger all he wants now.

I feel like they're connected in as far as he recognized he was weak but wanted to be stronger yet felt he could never possibly achieve that in the situation he was at, which is why he overcompensates and tries so hard now that he has the opportunity to be stronger.

Dungeons vanish after the boss is gone. The bodies left behind are long gone and even if that wasn't the case, the ability technically gives form to the mana of the victim. You can't really call it true Necromancy since I'm pretty sure the soul is untouched. It's like how the purification in Ender Lilies work rather than Valkyrie Profile.

He overcompensates?

That's my interpretation of how much he throws himself into it and puts his life on the line in order to get stronger.

[Dengar]

I mean I interpret it as him throwing his life on the line because he doesn't understand the concept of danger. Or self preservation.

[Mad Pierrot]

Considering the series is titled Solo leveling, the guy might level up even more than needed like if a game had cheating codes or just had the personality of the isekai Cautious Hero
