Solo Leveling in order: every English print edition

Comic, novel, omnibus and Ragnarok are four different things. Here is what each one is, which order to read them in, and what the set costs.

Reading order · Data as of 2026-10-11 · every volume keyed by ISBN from the publisher's catalog

The short version

Read the comic, volumes 1 to 15 (complete), then Ragnarok as it comes out (1 of 3 listed volumes out). The novel is the original story the comic adapts — optional, complete at 8 volumes, or in one 760-page omnibus. Nothing else is required.

Counts, dates and prices come from the publisher's title pages (label V) and are recomputed on every build. Story notes come from the digital originals and the publisher's descriptions; no physical copies were inspected.

The four print lines

02

The order

  1. Comic, volumes 1–15

    The main story, complete. Volume 1 was released Mar 2, 2021 and volume 15 on Mar 17, 2026; the publisher lists nothing after it. All 15 volumes at list price: $300.

  2. Ragnarok, volumes 1–3 and counting

    The sequel webtoon in print, Ize Press, same format and price. 1 volume out as of 2026-10-11, 2 on preorder (next Oct 20, 2026). The 3 listed volumes come to $60 at list. Start it after the main comic.

  3. Novel, volumes 1–8 — or the omnibus

    The original web novel, complete. Eight paperbacks at $15 each ($120 at list), or the 760-page hardback omnibus at $125 that the publisher describes as all eight novels in one. Pick one packaging, not both. Read it before or after the comic; it is the same story with more interior narration.

03

What the Korean original says

The English print run can only be finished if the Korean original is. Status below is cited from the platforms' own listings, nowhere else.

Webtoon (basis of the comic)Complete on KakaoPage
Web novel (basis of the novel)Complete, 270 episodes on Naver Series
Ragnarok web novelComplete, 376 episodes on Naver Series
Ragnarok webtoonStatus pending a citable listing

So the main comic is finished in both languages; only Ragnarok is still open-ended. Episode-to-volume mapping is not published by the publisher, so this page does not guess at it.

04

Three things that trip buyers up

  • The publisher is Ize Press (Yen Press), not Ablaze. Ablaze publishes other Korean comics; Solo Leveling's print ISBNs all sit in Yen's catalog.
  • Box-set listings disagree on the format. A r/sololeveling thread (365 points) found the B&N box set listed as hardcover while the publisher's page said paperback; the comic volumes are paperback. The thread resolved it as paperback. When a store and the publisher disagree, the publisher's ISBN record wins.
  • Each volume has a digital ISBN beside the print one. Yen lists both on the same page; the tables below carry only the print ISBN-13, and the store links are built from it.

Should I read the novel or the comic first?

The comic is the full-color print of the webtoon and is the edition most people mean by “Solo Leveling”; the novel is the original web novel the webtoon adapts. Read the comic first if you want the version the anime follows; read the novel if you want the original text. Neither is required to understand the other.

Is Solo Leveling: Ragnarok a sequel?

Yes. Ragnarok is the print edition of the sequel webtoon, published by Ize Press in the same full-color format at $20 per volume. Read the main comic first.

What is the Solo Leveling novel omnibus?

A single 760-page hardback ($125 list) that the publisher describes as all eight novels in one volume, released Jan 21, 2025. It replaces the eight paperbacks, not the comic.
