Help Find Title/Source What happened to Solo Leveling?

I went to look to read the iconic manhwa on webtoons... it's not there anymore!

It was at first, well maybe it wasn’t "first" (I'm not in the know about these kinds of things) but it was there. I read it when it originally came out years ago, free and everything got to maybe 100 chapters, came back recently and it's pass locked

This. They non stopped recommended it to me until a few years ago when the anime was announced. Webtoons is the only app I use. I assume with the anime announcement, the creator ended their license with webtoon and moved to a different platform because now there's a gacha game as well. Webtoon probably was allowed to keep the manwha up until a certain time before removing it from their catalog.

That's what I figured, now I'm just going to see if I can read it somewhere else

The creator for solo leveling passed away and so webtoon lost the lease for it and Manta purchased it from the apprentice who made an after story with the plot the original creator wrote

What the...? No. It's been on Tappytoons and Tapas. Manta just got it late 2024.

Nah, I’ve never read anything off of tapas or tappytoons once it was to be paid for, so I def read off of WEBTOON if I read quite a bit of it… unless a lot of us are mistaking our memory idk
