It’s fascinating to have lived during this time, especially if you like comic books. You can try Korea’s new vibrant digital imports if you’re sick of Western graphic novels and Japanese mangas.
Manhwa, the Korean term for manga, or webtoons, have finally earned their place in the hierarchy of comic book writers, which is presently dominated by Western and Japanese mangakas.
However, it isn’t a delightful rocket journey because those who created the phenomenon gradually ascended and punched a hole for the pioneers. The culmination of good fortune and labor eventually bears fruit.
Solo Leveling
There are a few manhwas on the list that potentially challenge Solo Leveling for first place, but there is no disputing the influence this adored webcomic has had. The residents who read manhwa and manga will always be very addicted to underdog stories, especially fantastic ones. Solo Leveling is also an excellent story of the underdog.
The topic of the manhwa is Sung Jinwoo, a level E hunter said to as “humanity’s weakest.” Jinwoo advances up the strength scale and emerges as humanity’s savior.
The feeble Jinwoo is compelled to accept risk in a world where spatial disruptions known as Gates have proliferated, attracting monsters from other worlds, to pay for his mother’s medical expenses.
He gets the chance of a lifetime when he is elected Player of the System, which enables him to level continuously through quests and Gate outings. When the story was published as a digital novel, it was already a captivating classic tale of a hero.
However, Solo Leveling’s luck changed when DUBU entered the scene and infused the fans’ imagination with life and color.
As a result, the webtoon industry drew new admirers from all around the world. Of course, a fantastic plot and gorgeous artwork. This level of acceptance is merited. Ever wonder how a shadow character might look cool?
Jinwoo’s sentient Shadows now have a life thanks to DUBU, and they have a badass appearance that no fan could have imagined.
Solo Leveling is unstoppable, much like its protagonist, with a Netmarble RPG game deal and an upcoming anime.
Tower Of God
This isekai manhwa’s anime announcement is one of the most eagerly awaited. Of course, who wouldn’t want to witness the unfolding of this tale?
The plot of Tower of God centers around Twenty-Fifth Bam and his exploits inside the enigmatic Tower. This mysterious building is complex because it contains more than simply beings and challenges. The manhwa’s plot in and of itself is quite amazing.
The plot in The Tower is so richly detailed and full of intrigue that the first visual style’s shortcomings are unable to do it credit. The good news is that author SIU never stops working to make his art better. The change is apparent when more readers continue reading. A manhwa’s later chapters are a pure visual delight.
Even while SIU isn’t quite Eiichiro Oda, the expansive world-building included in the plot is comparable to that of One Piece. And, most significantly, the plots are satisfactorily concluded.
There is no excuse for the 1 billion views on Webtoon alone.
The God of High School
Say no more if you miss the traditional fighting manga. Here’s a manhwa where the main characters spar more often than they speak. And fighting competitions are at its core. Your favorite childhood combat anime literally jumps out of your memory.
Webtoon-favorite That sentiment is evoked by The God of High School, much to how Dragon Ball Z once compelled an entire generation to witness its battles. The protagonist of TGOH is a 17-year-old martial artist named Mori Jin who is persuaded to compete in a competition dubbed “The God of High School.”
The antagonists the main protagonists fight to progress from low-level to world-level to even worlds beyond the capabilities of humans, much like in DBZ. But the addition of taken-from-known supernatural beings’ powers in TGOH sets it apart from the adored vintage anime.
This manhwa is essentially a Korean love letter to East Asian culture and Dragon Ball Z. And only a true fan could write a letter of love like that.
Fighting stories are now again enjoyable thanks to the God of High School. Each fighting chapter is well-made, and the combat scenes are skillfully carried out. And with fantastic art, too.
When the Crunchyroll Originals anime debuted, these sequences got even better, bringing TGOH more readers eager to discover more about Jin’s exploits.

The Beginning After The End
Another example of isekai manhwa is The Beginning After the End. This story is a rare beast, just like the others on this list.
An orphan named King Grey ascends to the position of king in a world of martial arts where the size of your fist determines how much respect you receive. Grey has reached the pinnacle, yet he still feels lost and alone. You may say that the liberty his soul longs for will come through his poisonous assassination.
Grey has a magical world reincarnation as Arthur Leywin. In addition, Arthur is quite different because he was raised in a household that loves him and is surrounded by people. The former king picks up his journey again with new aspirations.
Because Arthur isn’t overly strong, TBATE is effective. Instead, he is gifted and intellectual, and he makes use of his qualities to gain authority. With every interaction, he develops partnerships that help him emotionally.
One can observe the excellent character’s overall development in the novel. Not just an already-OP character who is enigmatic and takes down bad folks just for fun. Grey is aware of how lonely and heavy the crown-bearing head is at the top.
He so acquires a new sense of purpose—a desire to live life to the fullest—when he reincarnates as Arthur. It’s truly the beginning after the finish, and you can’t help but root for him as you follow his narrative.
Omniscient Reader
The Omniscient Reader is not a typical isekai. Although the novel strategy is nothing new, the speed and the carefully developed scenario and characters make Omniscient Reader a regular appearance on best manhwa lists.
The manhwa centers on Kim Dokja, a lone office worker who loves web novels and has taken on the role of the final reader of the oppressed “Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse.”
Dojka gets a congrats message as the novel’s author releases the epilogue. The protagonist then finds himself in the novel’s first paragraph, and chaos ensues. Dokja accidentally enters the plot of the book and ends up being the only person who is aware that the world is about to end.
Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is a well-known web novel, and expectant fans were ecstatic to see the previously-envisioned characters and settings depicted in vibrant webtoon panels.
A reader who likes to think will find the manhwa’s concept compelling. Your interest will be piqued by the thrilling voyage, and you’ll be moved to support Dokja and his band of survivors.
