need help finding places to level up

[omnislasher]

well I'm at chapter 5 right now, on my second time through the game around 97-98%. I havent played the game in a really long time, but I just remember trying to level up in macalania woods and having it take waaayyy too long. and also that via infinito place didnt have good exp at the lower levels, but I wasnt strong enough to go to the higher levels without dying yet. and thanks for your help, I'm gonna check out these other places
