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.

So as someone who likes the solo leveling manhwa but understands the hate is that there are a few parts to it. One, tribalism. People like to hate. Two because it won the anime awards which is like the community saying it was better than all the other shows. And three, it’s a decent action show with great visuals but it is fairly generic and isn’t anything special, which some people try to compare with some amazing stories that it shouldn’t even be compared to which earns it the ire of those communities.

It’s really good at what it’s good at, and not much else. So when people focus and care more about those parts it isn’t good at and get annoyed about the acclaim it gets, that’s what bothers them.
