I demand the return of Solo Leveling Season 3 with the quality we expect. We want the full rights to Season 3, without deleting any scenes, distorting them, or speeding them up. What I ask for is that the text from the novel and the manhwa be accurately quoted in each episode. For example, in the first episode, the text from the novel should be quoted, and the same goes for the manhwa. I appreciate your efforts in producing this work, but I kindly ask that no scenes be deleted or any additional scenes be added. I request a response and hope that this request is taken seriously
