After just over a year of weekly updates, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok—the official sequel to the beloved Solo Leveling series—has concluded its run at Chapter 375. The announcement came via KakaoPage, and the news quickly sent shockwaves across the fanbase.
This sequel followed the son of Sung Jinwoo, Sung Suho, as he faced new enemies, uncovered deeper lore, and inherited the legacy of the Shadow Monarch. Yet despite its promise, the web novel came to a sudden halt—leaving behind a mix of praise, disappointment, and unanswered questions.
A Farewell from Author Daul
The series’ author Daul, who succeeded Chugong as the writer of Ragnarok, delivered a heartfelt farewell to fans. His message was translated by @SoloLevelingGuy on social media:
“This journey began on April 10, 2023, and now it has come to an end… I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has walked this path with me.”
Daul described himself not as a creator but a guardian of the world Chugong built. He admitted the pressure of continuing a globally loved narrative and expressed deep respect for the original creator.
“Continuing the legacy of Solo Leveling, such a beloved and meaningful story, was both a tremendous honor and a heavy responsibility.”
What Was Solo Leveling: Ragnarok About?
While the original Solo Leveling focused on Jinwoo’s rise as the Shadow Monarch, Ragnarok introduced readers to Sung Suho, the son of Jinwoo and Cha Haein.
This new generation explored a more mystical take on the world—dealing with the aftermath of Jinwoo’s battles and the evolving threats facing Earth. Suho’s path was less about dungeons and more about divine conflicts and ancient systems—a deeper dive into the System, the Shadow World, and the entities behind them.
With 375 chapters, Ragnarok even surpassed the original novel’s 270 chapters—but did it live up to the legacy?
Why Did Solo Leveling: Ragnarok End So Suddenly?
The sudden conclusion caught fans off guard. There had been no prior hints that the story was wrapping up, especially when major plotlines were just beginning to unfold.
Possible Reasons for the Sudden End:
- Author’s Health: Daul was involved in a car accident in late 2024. The novel went on hiatus from December 30, 2024, to January 31, 2025.
- Creative Fatigue: Readers noticed a shift in pacing and quality after the accident. Some chapters felt rushed, and core mysteries remained unresolved.
- Editorial Decision?: Some fans speculate that KakaoPage may have pushed for the wrap-up due to scheduling, performance, or other internal factors.
Whatever the reason, the story’s conclusion feels more like an emergency brake than a smooth landing.
Fan Reactions: Disappointment and Speculation
The reaction was mixed. While many appreciated Daul’s effort and commitment, others were left frustrated by the lack of closure.
Some Reddit and Discord users even questioned the translation, wondering if the announcement was misinterpreted or incomplete. Others held out hope that the manhwa or anime adaptation might provide an alternate ending or continue the unresolved arcs.
“It felt like Ragnarok was just about to reach its climax… then it just stopped,” one fan commented on a forum thread.
What Daul Said About the Future Of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok
Despite closing the book on Ragnarok, Daul’s final words gave fans a glimmer of hope:
“The legend of the Shadow Lord, Sung Jinwoo, lives on. And maybe one day, in a different form, it will return again.”
This suggests the story might evolve beyond web novels—possibly into anime, games, or new side stories.
The Solo Leveling Universe Isn’t Done Yet
Even though Ragnarok has ended, the franchise is alive and thriving in other mediums:
✅ Live-Action Netflix Series in Development
Korean actor Byeon Woo-seok has been cast in the lead role of the upcoming Solo Leveling live-action adaptation on Netflix. This could explore Jinwoo’s arc, Suho’s story, or both.

✅ Solo Leveling Video Games
Two official games are in development:
These are expected to expand on both the original and Ragnarok universes with new lore, combat systems, and characters.
✅ Anime Season 3 Expected
With Season 2 covering the Red Gate arc, fans are already anticipating Season 3. While no date has been confirmed, it could potentially cover material from Ragnarok or reimagine its events.
A Missed Opportunity or Smart Strategy?
The sudden end of Ragnarok left behind unresolved plotlines, including:
- The full origin of the System
- The fate of side characters like Suho’s allies
- The cosmic hierarchy of rulers and monarchs
- Deeper development of Suho’s emotional arc
Was this rushed end a failure? Or is it part of a larger transmedia strategy, where novels lead into anime and games?
We don’t have all the answers—but it’s clear the franchise’s story isn’t truly over.
The End of a Chapter, Not the Book
Even with an incomplete ending, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok represents an ambitious attempt to expand an already legendary world. While not perfect, it kept the flame alive and brought back the thrill of shadow warfare, father-son legacy, and world-saving stakes.
And as Daul says:
“From the bottom of my heart—thank you. May your days be filled with good stories and happiness.”
