Anticipation is at an all-time high, with fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of a next-level isekai series set for a 2025 debut. The Beginning After the End has been entertaining the fans for over 6 years and now the adaptation news has taken over the internet, exciting several manhwa enthusiasts worldwide.
Sadly, the manhwa has suffered countless delays, and readers are thirsty for some sword and sorcery adventures. Amidst the hype and high expectations, TBATE must tackle several challenges to meet every manhwa reader’s expectations and solidify its place as a standout in the isekai genre.
The Beginning After the End‘s Risky Debut Amidst Solo Leveling‘s Critiques
Solo Leveling‘s success in the anime world shows that manhwa, like manga, boasts compelling storylines and characters that, when adapted into anime, captivate fans and drive popularity. With the Season 2 excitement building, many fans classify Solo Leveling as part of the isekai or isekai-lite genre.
Following the immense success of Solo Leveling and Tower of God, the Korean manhwa series has sparked significant buzz online and now The Beginning After the End is poised to break multiple records and elevate Korean manhwa to global fame.
TBATE, hailed as a standout in the Korean manhwa scene alongside Solo Leveling, faces hurdles that its predecessor avoided, making its journey to anime success significantly more challenging.
Aleks Le, Sung Jin-woo’s English voice actor, shared his opinion of Solo Leveling‘s isekai theme. He added:
I think the reason the panic for this anime is so much more, as opposed to other anime, especially isekai is that, instead of entering a world that is fantastical and magical, it is still our boring, plain, dry world, but with even more danger now. Imagine you have to go to work, and you might lose your job, but you also might die today. It’s a very real fear that we have to capture, and it’s very interesting to see all these dungeon elements, and it’s serious, like if a train ran you over, so you’ve got to be careful.
Unlike most isekai anime that follows a protagonist’s journey in a completely new world, Solo Leveling introduces groundbreaking concepts like dungeons and monsters within the main character’s own world, creating a unique premise that has captivated many anime viewers, including Aleks Le.

However, TBATE introduces an isekai world, a completely new world for our main protagonist to explore. As he grows older, he masters magic and carves his own path, determined to right the wrongs of his past.
TBATE shares similarities with the recent hit isekai anime Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, where both protagonists are incredibly gifted with mana and magic abilities. Therefore, fans hope the legendary manhwa will follow in the footsteps of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation while staying true to its original plot to succeed in the highly competitive isekai genre.
The Beginning After the End Faces Challenges Ahead of Adaptation Debut
The Beginning After The End anime is set to be released in 2025. The precise release date is unconfirmed, but the official account should disclose it a few months prior to the premiere.
Unfortunately, manhwa readers shouldn’t get their hopes up too much, as A-CAT, the studio behind The Beginning After the End has a poor reputation that could jeopardize the adaptation fans have eagerly awaited for years.
Many fans expressed that the studio is only known for its flops and doesn’t have any noteworthy projects to its name. On top of that, none of the studio’s past projects have garnered over 7 rating on MyAnimeList, leaving the TBATE fandom extremely anxious about its debut.
The Beginning After The End is a web novel series written by TurtleMe and illustrated by Fuyuki23. The serialization started on Tapas in 2017. So far, six volumes have been released, but the sales number remains unknown.
The Beginning After the End manhwa can be read on Webtoons, while the anime will be available to watch on Crunchyroll.
