The Jeju Island arc is definitely one of the best arcs in Solo Leveling and also one of the most important. This part not only has a lot of exciting action but also marks a turning point in Jinwoo’s journeyy when he single-handedly wiped out the island and became famous as a national hero. As the flashback in episode #1 showed, these ants were by no means weak, and Jinwoo’s ability to defeat them after years of failed raids was certainly a huge achievement.
Of course, the main highlight of the arc is Jinwoo’s battle against the Ant King Ber, who ended up becoming a fan favorite. This part also promises many other important developments, especially a significant addition to Jinwoo’s dark army. That said, since the series only has 12 episodes, it’s unclear whether the current season could include the Jeju Island Arc, which takes place about 90 chapters into the manhwa. At the current pace of about 5 chapters adapted per episode, it seems like the anime will most likely end with the Demon Castle Arc.
