That's my second myTake on here about manhwas, but this time with a different type of genre.
I only had the idea of writing another one by all of your amazing ideas, everyone gave me great suggestions. Thank you very much! šš
Even tho it's the second post, I'm going to use the same model format and introducing what manhwas are... (first things first, ya know ^^)
Did you ever hear about manhwas?
Manhwa has become a big hit for those who are fans of manga in recent years. Manhwa originated in South Korea, although its popularity has spread to North Korea and overseas as well. While manga is in black-and-white, a variety of manhwa is in full color and attracts a lot of people.
- Interested?
If so, keep scrolling to discover some good pastime manhwas! š
Right below I'll mention 10 of the best action manhwas in my opinion:
1. Solo Leveling
Summary:
10 years ago, after āthe Gateā that connected the real world with the monster world opened, some of the ordinary, everyday people received the power to hunt monsters within the Gate. They are known as āHuntersā. However, not all Hunters are powerful. My name is Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter. Iām someone who has to risk his life in the lowliest of dungeons, the āWorldās Weakestā. Having no skills whatsoever to display, I barely earned the required money by fighting in low-leveled dungeonsā¦ at least until I found a hidden dungeon with the hardest difficulty within the D-rank dungeons! In the end, as I was accepting death, I suddenly received a strange power, a quest log that only I could see, a secret to leveling up that only I know about! If I trained in accordance with my quests and hunted monsters, my level would rise. Changing from the weakest Hunter to the strongest S-rank Hunter!
POV:
I absolutely love it.
To go from this:
To this:
Was my drop-all-things-and-read-this sign, and of course a possible miserable waiting for updates after I finish all the translated chapters.
So I'm reading the novel too.
2. Omniscient Reader
Summary:
Dokja was an average office worker whose sole interest was reading his favorite web novel 'Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse.' But when the novel suddenly becomes reality, he is the only person who knows how the world will end. Armed with this realization, Dokja uses his understanding to change the course of the story, and the world, as he knows it.
POV:
Oh
My
God
Okay, so our protagonist is the only guy who reads a web novel which has been ongoing for about 10 years and then when the last episode of the series is about to come, it all starts happening in real life. WOW!
When i started this, the story seemed pretty basic. Okay, then the said fictional apocalypse comes to life, but since the MC already knew everything about what would happen, it had me second guessing myself. BUT (oh my god) I am in love with this. It's full of these plot twists and I HAVE NEVER READ ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
Also the artwork is a m a z i n g.
3. Trash of the Count's Family / Lout of Count's Family
Summary:
When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel. [The Birth of a Hero]. [The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han - a high school boy from Earth who was transported to a different dimension - alongside other numerous, rising heroes of the continent. I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Countās family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located. Choi Han became vengeful after that village was destroyed by a mysterious group of assailants, and grew incensed after he reported the matter to the Count's son and got brushed off. He gets beaten to a pulp. āā¦This is going to be a problem.ā But, I feel like it is worth trying to make this my new life regardless.
POV:
Gorgeous art, cat children, baby dragon, what more do you need? Also magicians, Wolf Tribe, Whale Tribe, dwarf, elves, and pretty much everything you would like to see in a fantasy story. Oh, and our MC is a kind of tsundere who kept saying he just want to live as a trash but ended up working the hardest and helping everyone else too.
4. Second Life Ranker
Summary:
Yeonwooās brother disappeared years ago, and heās devastated to learn of his death. As he copes with his loss, heās given a pocket watch and learns thereās more to his brotherās death: he was betrayed while competing in the Tower of the Sun God. Now itās Yeonwooās turn to use the knowledge his brother left behind. Can Yeonwoo (call sign: Cain) navigate that world and gain enough power and experience to reach the top of the tower, defeating his brotherās enemies and all those who stand in his way?
POV:
The younger twin brother dies in another world, sends his hyung his diary of his adventures for the past 5 years. The hyung sells his home and tells his friends goodbye before departing to exact revenge on those who hunted and betrayed his brother. He quickly levels up and gains experience with the help of his brother's past experiences. As a lone solo player, he advances but along the way, realizes he should take advantage to learn all he could and better himself. He meets friends and masters who help him train his abilities. He gathers as much resources as he could all to track down his brother's killers.
I can't wait to see the faces of his younger twin's "loyal" friends and lover when they meet their end at his hands. I know it'll be epic.
5.Hero Killer
Summary:
The world is in constant turmoil, with constant wars breaking out between Heroes and Villains. Gifted with supernatural abilities, one lone girl sets out on a bloody path for revenge against the injustices of the world she lives in. With the constant clashes between titans, no one is safe. If no one is willing to protect the innocent, who are the real heroes, and who are the real villains? What truly separates one from the other?
POV:
There are nine (9) episodes of this Webtoon out and I'm already blown away.
The art, the story, the everything. I can't wait to see the plot thickens further.
6. Wind breaker
Summary:
Jay's the perfect student. He's got straight As and he's the student body president. But after being coerced into joining the school's biking team, the Hummingbird Crew, he discovers a whole new world outside of studying. What new adventures will he face outside the comfort of his textbooks?
POV:
I have absolutely no criticisms for this graphic novel. The art if phenomenon. The characters are so well written and the character growth is evident and natural as the story progresses. This author really knows how to get you to feel for his characters. After reading, you feel like these characters are your friends. Lots of humour, but also has some pretty serious underlying themes that really get you thinking about your life. This story has me laughing, crying, gasping, and leaves me breathless. As of the time Iām posting this review, the story hasnāt finished yet and it kills me to have to wait every week for an update because every chapter leaves you wanting more. Even if you donāt like sports related reading material, I would still recommend you give this a try. As of today, there are 268 chapters that have been translated into English (and still going!) and it only took me 3 days to read because I could not put it down. Despite reading a lot, I donāt post reviews here on goodreads but this story is so amazing that I just have to let everyone know how phenomenal it is. I seriously hope that after reading this review you are able to check it out and experience itās magic yourself!
Lol, didn't find a trailer for this one eitheir. Instead, I found an interesting related video.
7. Worn and Torn Newbie
Summary:
After learning 15 miserable years of his life as a failed gamer was one long nightmare, Lee Eojin is glad to be a newbie again. Vowing not to repeat the same mistakes, Eojin starts a new as the hotshot, Old-timer. Heās conquering monsters, getting sweet gear, and making enough dough to set himself up for life. Loved by fans and hated by foes, both old and new, will Eojin break the game and triumph, or will the game break him once again?
POV:
I love this so much. This is on the same tier as Solo Leveling, SSS-class Suicide Hunter, and Omniscient Reader in my opinion. That's just how good it is! It's funny and refreshing while also being interesting. The art is super good and the characters are all actually memorable. It feels super refreshing to have an asshole protagonist who knows his strengths and weaknesses. Absolutely loving how it takes the virtual reality game troupe cliche and takes that to a more realistic portrayal, where ofc players are gonna find ways to abuse the system. 10/10 won't regret reading!
8. Tomb Raider King
Summary:
Mysterious tombs appeared all over the world one day, each containing a relic which grants its owner supernatural abilities. Jooheon Suh is a tomb explorer, excavator, and raider. Betrayed by his employer, he's about to die at the hands of a powerful new relic when he suddenly finds himself 15 years in the past, before any relics or tombs made their debut. Driven by feelings of revenge, how will Jooheon use his knowledge of the future to become the Tomb Raider King?
POV:
I really liked the cunning side of the ML in this story. All the characters were exceptionally evil which made it even more entertaining and the unexpected turn of events was great. I really think this manhwa should be renamed as "The evil deeds of the tomb raider scammer" you'll understand once you read it! Though some scenes were quite repetitive, it was made up by the unique personalities of the characters in this story.
9. Teenage Mercenary
Summary:
At the age of eight, Ijin Yu lost his parents in a plane crash and became stranded in a foreign land, forced to become a child mercenary in order to stay alive. He returns home ten years later to be reunited with his family in Korea, where food and shelter are plenty and everything seems peaceful. But Ijin will soon learn that life as a teenager is a whole other feat of survival. With only one year of high school left, Ijin must master new tactics to maneuver his way around the schoolhouse battleground. Can he survive a year of high school? Or rather, will the school be able to survive him?
POV:
ljin Yu was involved in a plane crash at the age of 8 where he lost his parents and became stranded in a foreign land. He became a mercenary at a young age for survival. From what I gathered these are professional combatants who trade their services/ get commissions from clients for money and goods, and they operate in warzones. He's able to return home 10 years later to be reunited with his family in Korea, where food and shelter are plenty and everything seems peaceful. The dude just wants to experience what a 'family' is like and to live a normal life, but fighting seems to follow him everywhere. We have such badass fights because of people who just can't leave MC alone. Terrific.
This is like Noblesse: Season 1, Set in a non-fantasy setting. MC is really OP. At first it's just the bullies (I don't really like the typical korean highschool setting where there's always bullying, cussing and whatnot, the violence does not bring a positive message), but it's interesting to note the friendship trope in unlikely people, places and circumstances. This might be a redemption arc, but I like the perspective coming from these bullies, that they act tough in order to not get eaten, and that sometimes they're not aware that their pranks against the weak is 'bullying'.
When you get through the highschool bullies, there's the gangs and adult fighting, then pro fighting. This is srsly BADASS!
10. Lookism
Summary:
Daniel is an unattractive loner who wakes up in a different body. Now tall, handsome, and cooler than ever in his new form, Daniel aims to achieve everything he couldn't before. How far will he go to keep his body... and his secrets?
POV:
The story is really great because it has true topics that nobody speaks so openly about them, like the discrimination to other people for their experience, bully abuse, the pressure of the social media nowadays and others. This story has drama, comedy, mystery and some chapters are even wicked.
The characters are developed so good because each one of them have an important role in the story, even the bad ones has a good background story and with the story progress you can understand more about their actions.
The art is pretty good and like in other webtoons it has color.
The updates are every week and the chapters are not small.
Iāve had a really good time reading it; Iāve laughed and cried with this, I totally recommended.
Note:
All the POVs were taken out of the sites -> goodreads, BATO.TO and MyAnimeList.
- I couldn't add a photo for every manhwa because we're just allowed to 20 pics overall.
- Please, don't really mind the order of the list. It's pretty subjective!
Hope y'all enjoyed! š
