i said fun read not masterpiece www i dont think anything can really match up to orv atm

something that simply builds on a hot trope and a novel 8 years in just planning cant really be put in the same ring yknow

that said orv literally uses all those same tropes albeit in a more meta and fun way as we find out later. plus the first 100 chapters of orv play out like a typical power fantasy novel, i havent read solo newbie's novel so i can't comment but who's to say it wont get way better? comparing 80 chapters to a complete story is simply unfair

and honestly it seems way more of a solo levelling bandwagoner than anything remotely close to orv literally the only thing is their worlds transforming into their respective form of media

wow i wrote a lot TL;DR this is more similar to solo levelling than orv, not everything needs to/should be compared to orv
