It's a great day to be a fan of Sing Shong's work since not only is webtoon and light novel, Solo Leveling.

The World After the Fall is Sing Shong's lesser-known work that is still ongoing via Webtoon to this day, updating with a new release every Tuesday. The story follows Jaehwan, a once ordinary young man, whose world is turned upside down as towers begin to sprout from all over the world and inflict monsters upon the human population. Notifications are sent out to select individuals, challenging them to take on the tower and clear it before they wipe out humanity. With nothing left to lose, Jaehwan is one of the few who continues to climb, unraveling terrible secrets about the world he once knew, the higher he ascends.

The World After The Fall Will Be Adapted By A South Korean Studio

Picked Up By A Different Studio Than Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

Perhaps due to a different audience, The World After The Fall will not be picked up by Aniplex and Crunchyroll as was the case with Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. Instead, it'll be adapted by Studio EEK, a company based in South Korea. The company has been branching off into larger projects by picking up other works, such as Tomb Raider King, and promoting the webtoon 7Fates: Chakho by making a short snippet for BTS.

While the company's work is globally renowned, these videos offer a glimpse into the animation the studio is capable of. Studio EEK has provided some fluid movement, showcasing a talent for incorporating visually satisfying camerawork and a knack for detailed backgrounds in the few animations that are available within the last few years.

Manhwa Adaptations Are Growing Exponentially Since Solo Leveling's Success

Expanding the Anime Market and Viewer Diversity

Thanks to the amazing records Solo Leveling continues to break on Crunchyroll, it's opened the door for many more manhwa to get adapted into anime or by Korean studios. With the medium's popularity at an all-time high, taking a chance on stories from other countries with different backgrounds, aesthetics, and values can only serve to widen the pool of shows that are currently available. While the story beats may not be the same as what most anime fans are used to, it also means they won't know what to expect next from adaptations like The World After The Fall, making it all the more exciting to see how it turns out.
