When speaking of South Korean stories, no IP has been on the same scale of popularity and recognition as Solo Leveling. Originally created by Chugong as a web novel, Solo Leveling's success as a novel and then Manhwa has led to the birth of its sequel series, known as Solo Leveling: Ragnarok.
With Solo Leveling's general rise to popularity, the demand for Solo Leveling: Ragnarok has also skyrocketed. Because of that, finally in 2026, we are getting the full English release of its main novel. Previously, the Solo Leveling: Ragnarok novel was hard to access online, as platforms like Tapas had yet to fully release its story. Now, Ize Press has revealed its plans to bring forward physical copies of this hit novel ahead of the IP's big return with Solo Leveling: Beyond System movie in 2027.
Solo Leveling enjoyed a humble debut as a web novel in South Korea 10 years ago, in 2016, when the series was launched by Chugong. Later on, it was adapted into a manhwa by Redice Studio in 2018 and into an anime by Aniplex and A-1 Pictures in 2024. Solo Leveling's focus has always been on its protagonist, Sung Jinwoo. However, the sequel to the series by a different creator, Daul, instead gives the spotlight to Jinwoo's son, Sung Suho, as he takes on his own journey and tackles new, unique challenges.

Suho’s story is interesting, but at the moment, most fans of Solo Leveling are only familiar with Jinwoo, as he is the only of the two main characters to have received an anime. That said, with the great success of Jinwoo's own story, many fans have gotten interested in its novel, manhwa, and, of course, the Ragnarok sequel as well. Solo Leveling: Ragnarok was written between 2023 and 2025 by Daul. Shockingly, even today, the series has yet to get a physical release for its novel. The novel doesn’t even have a Korean print, let alone an English one. Luckily, this is about to be fixed. On August 22, 2026, Ize Press, which falls under the handle of Yen Press, which handles the release of South Korean content, revealed its grand plans to finally publish physical volume releases of Solo Leveling Ragnarok’s novel in English.
