Why Hunter Webtoons Have Conquered Global Comics
If you've binged Solo Leveling and found yourself desperately searching for something to fill that void, you're not alone. The hunter genre—featuring ordinary people awakening supernatural powers in a world where dungeons and monsters have become reality—has become one of the most addictive subgenres in comics today. These Korean webtoons combine RPG progression systems, stunning action sequences, and satisfying underdog-to-overpowered character arcs that Western superhero comics rarely deliver.
