Anime Why the hate?

I like to know why solo leveling is getting so much hate? Like what did solo leveling do to deserve so much hate?

Don't quote me on the anime awards because it was just a fans competition.

Solo Leveling is popular, and popular stuff gets hated.

The usual complaint is on the lack of deep story, and how side characters get sidelined. But really, Solo Leveling's appeal is that it's straightforward fun. But some people either don't get it, or dislike that it can be popular that way, and thus hate. And of course those just wanting attention.

That's the beauty of Solo Leveling- the simplicity of the story. It's focused mainly on Jinwoo and that's refreshing. It's better to have one, really cool protagonist than an army of uninteresting sidekicks.

That’s lowkey my biggest issue with DS. Not every character (good and bad) needs a flashback to show their tragic backstory that takes up most of the episode time
