From the ending of I Only Level Up to a summary of the plot, the sad reason for the death of webtoon writer Jang Seong-rak, and even the expected release date for Netflix Season 3! We've answered all your questions.

1. Summary of the plot of Only I Level Up

At first, Sung Jin-woo was just a weak and ordinary E-class hunter. But the story begins when you overcome a near-death experience in a double dungeon and awaken as a 'player'. .

As he leveled up repeatedly and became stronger, he became the Shadow Lord and fought against the forces of darkness, eventually winning the war to protect the Earth.

 

From the middle of the story, the world view gradually expands, and fantasy settings such as monarchs, rulers, and absolute rulers appear in earnest! In the end, Sung Jin-woo uses the cup of reincarnation to go back in time and prevent the war in his own way. It's a munchkin fantasy that neatly concludes with a happy ending.

2. Summary (Spoiler Alert)

- Sung Jin-woo, awakening as the Shadow Lord
- The final battle with the Lord of Destruction
- Use the cup of reincarnation → return to the past
- 27 years of fighting in the dimensional rift and protecting the world
- Return to a peaceful Earth and reunite with your family

In the end, Jinwoo becomes a being close to omnipotent, but he never forgets human emotions and love. I think this is one of the reasons why this work is loved by so many people!

3. What is the reason for the death of author Jang Seong-rak?

Webtoon Jang Seong-rak, the artist who illustrated 'Only I Level Up', passed away suddenly on July 23, 2022 due to a cerebral hemorrhage. He was 37 years old.

It was revealed that he had been suffering from a chronic illness, and this was conveyed to fans through an official announcement made by his agency Red Ice Studio on July 25th. The funeral was held quietly with the family, and many readers paid tribute to the deceased through the first episode of the side story.

 

It's really unfortunate that he is someone who greatly increased the immersion of the work with just the quality of his drawings, and I'm sure he will remain in the memories of many people for a long time.

4. When will Netflix Season 3 be released?

Currently, there is no official announcement regarding the production of Season 3, but there are many rumors that it is being planned within the animation production company A-1 Pictures.

 

If it is structured like the previous series, where it is uploaded to Netflix after being aired in Japan, season 3 is expected to air in the second half of 2025 to the first half of 2026.

 

Since Season 2 covered the period just before the awakening of the Shadow Lord, Season 3 is a full-blown action explosion! Fans' expectations are also high.

5. What are some things fans should look forward to?

- Shadow Legion Full Appearance
- Worldview expansion + Global Hunters join in earnest
- Strengthened emotional line + System secrets revealed
- Expected animation quality (if it's A-1, I'll trust it and watch it)

If season 3 is chosen well, it could truly establish itself as a legendary anime!
