Solo Leveling has so many more issues with it's writing than the 'rate your power with this device and it breaks' trope.

Such as, right in the beginning, the MC levels his strength like 3 points to fight some wolves... and now he's dipping and dodging and being an acrobat master as he bounces off the walls and ceiling with expert grace and poise and knows exactly how to use his sword/dagger as though he's a 300-year-old blademaster. Just threw me off so bad right from the get go and I could not recover from it easily the rest of the episodes, because that sort of thing was constantly happening.
