Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Cancellation
Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, the official light novel sequel to the acclaimed Solo Leveling series, has come to an abrupt and unexpected end after reaching chapter 375. The announcement was made on the series’ official website and further confirmed by statements from Daul, the author who took over the world-building responsibilities from the original creator Chugong. Fans were caught off guard by the conclusion, which closed the book on this chapter of the Solo Leveling universe far sooner than many anticipated.
Why Was Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Canceled?
The specific reasons for the cancellation have not been officially detailed. The cancellation appears to be a combination of creative, logistical, and possibly personal factors. Daul, in a heartfelt message to readers, expressed the significant weight of continuing a story as beloved as Solo Leveling.
The author described himself not as a "creator" but a "guardian" of the original vision, indicating deep respect for Chugong's work while also admitting to challenges, including rewriting and revising lore to make the sequel worthy of its predecessor. Daul also apologized for multiple delays over the run, especially after a car accident forced an extended hiatus.
A Sudden End to a Promising Sequel
Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, written by Daul as a continuation of Chugong’s original Solo Leveling series, debuted on April 10, 2023, with an impressive 104 chapters released simultaneously. The story follows Sung Suho, the son of the legendary Shadow Monarch Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-in, as he navigates a world threatened by the Itarim, gods from other universes seeking to fill a cosmic power void.
With over 78.4 million views on KakaoPage and a webtoon adaptation launched in August 2024, Ragnarok was poised to expand the Solo Leveling universe in bold new ways. However, on July 23, 2025, KakaoPage’s publishing imprint Papyrus announced that Solo Leveling: Ragnarok had concluded with Chapter 375.
Author Daul expressed gratitude to fans, stating, “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.” Despite the warm sentiments, the abruptness of the ending has sparked widespread discussion, with fans noting that the story seemed far from complete.
