This is the kind of record that Crunchyroll could do without…
The episode of Solo Leveling which replaced the postponed episode 8, was very, very unwelcome by the public!
The platform's record for dislikes!
The success of adaptation Solo Leveling is rather uneven, oscillating between peaks of popularity after certain episodes, and moments where disappointment seems to dominate among fans of the manga. From its beginnings, this series has captivated the attention of fans around the world, but not without some turbulence. Recently, episode 7.5 set a record that its producers would have preferred to avoid. With over 69,400 dislikes on Crunchyroll, this episode is officially the most disliked content in history of the platform. And for good reason, he It was just a recapand it made many fans cringe, questioning the direction the anime is taking.

Why air a recap after only seven episodes?
Generally speaking, the Anime production is often subject to multiple challenges, including tight deadlines. In this case, in the case of Solo Leveling, episode 8 which was originally planned had been postponed. This postponement was attributed to the disease of the voice actor of Sung Jinwoo, Taito Ban, who allegedly contracted Covid-19. Faced with this unforeseen delay, the decision was made to broadcast, instead of episode 8, a recap episode, episode 7.5, to fill the gap between episodes and keep viewers interested. Only, there was literally only seven episodes to recap, we can therefore wonder if it was really useful… And the fans who were aware of this postponement and its reasons asked themselves the same question. As for those who didn't know that the episode they were waiting for had been postponed…they were angry.
