I've Made a Huge Mistake (Solo Leveling)

What to Watch?

So, I think I've accidentally made a huge mistake. I'm new to the anime world because I'm very sensitive to violence, and I've seen so many clips from anime shows that always look so cool both action and story wise but the ones I'm interested in that I see always have a ton of graphic violence.

Fast forward to this week and I watched a clip that was even cooler than other anime clips I'd seen story wise and so I looked it up, and it turned out to be a show called Solo Leveling. It looked so good story and character wise that I decided it would be the best first chance at an action anime to see if the story and characters and everything was worth all the violence that I figured would come and I gave it a try.

The mistake I made was it was literally SOO good that I binged both seasons in 3 days 😅 and now I'm worried that I started with the best anime that exists and that it'll only go down from here. I know this is an anime subreddit so I know the people reading this are going to probably have a very different opinion, but my hope is that you can understand where I'm coming from and give any genuine advice on any other anime shows that you think have commonalities with Solo Leveling cuz I'm sad at the thought that I may have inadvertently started with the best one.

So please! Give me your recommendations for a newbie to anime who's long time inhibition is primarily tied to graphic violence.
