20 Best MANHWAS You Need To Be Reading

Hey everyone, welcome back! Today, I’m excited to share my latest list of 20 Best Manhwas You Need to be reading with you. From action-packed adventures to heartwarming romances, these titles will captivate you. Let’s dive into it

1.  The Reincarnated King Of Fist

THEME	CHAPTERS	STATUS	RATING
Martial arts, magic	33	Ongoing	7.43☆

This one is an exceptional manhwa that has taken the scene by storm this year. Personally, I’m a huge fan and highly recommend it. The series has garnered a significant following, and for good reason.

In a world where humans enslave non-human species, the powerful wizard Leppenhardt creates an empire to safeguard these beings. However, his reign ends when he’s defeated by the brutally strong Tesron, the “King of Fists.”

But death isn’t the end, because Leppenhardt awakens in Tesron’s young body! Now armed with incredible strength and a new identity, he sets off to free the non-human races again. Can the new King of Fists reshape the world for all, or will his second chance slip away?

2. The Nebulas Civilization 

THEME	CHAPTERS	STATUS	RATING
World Building	42	Ongoing	7.58☆

I’d say this manhwa is very good. Here are my thoughts:

The artwork is impressive and engaging. I appreciate that humans aren’t the dominant species in control, adding a fresh twist to the story. The subjects in the story are capable of independent thought, which is a welcome change from the typical “braindead” characters found in some manhwa. Overall, while this manhwa shows promise, it falls short in terms of character development and plot balance. I hope to see improvements in these areas as the story progresses.

Seong-un Choi is the top-ranked player in the game “Lost World,” being the only player to have completed all its achievements. However, his triumph is short-lived as a mysterious message transports him to the real “Lost World,” transforming him from a mere gamer to a contender for godhood. Amidst others vying for divinity, will Seong-un be able to achieve true godhood and reign supreme in this new realm?

3. Duke Pendragon: Master Of The White Dragon

THEME	CHAPTERS	STATUS	RATING
Reincarnation	119	Hiatus	7.33☆

Compared to the other two manhwa I mentioned earlier, this one stands out for its unique take on a familiar trope. While it follows the classic “reincarnation” storyline, where a strong individual from a humble background is reborn into a life of privilege, the execution is exceptional.

The way the story unfolds, the plot twists, and the character development all come together to create a truly engaging narrative. I urge you to look beyond the familiar reincarnation premise and give this manhwa a chance. With time, you’ll find yourself drawn into its world and invested in the characters’ journeys.

In my opinion, this manhwa is one of the best our generation has to offer. Its exceptional storytelling and well-crafted plot make it a must-read for fans of the genre.

4. A True Doctor

THEME	CHAPTERS	STATUS	RATING
Medical	217	Ongoing	6.98☆

If you’re a fan of medical manhwa, then this series is definitely worth checking out. Even if you’re not typically interested in this genre, I’d encourage you to give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

While it may take some time to get into, the story really picks up steam around the middle chapters. I’ve had the chance to read it, and I must say it’s quite enjoyable. It may not be the best medical manhwa out there, but it’s certainly not bad either. In fact, it holds its own against other titles in the genre. Overall, I’d say it’s definitely worth adding to your reading list.

The Gates of Hell”—that’s what they call the doors to the surgical ward of Yeonseong Hospital. And I’m Taesoo Choi, one of the many interns seen as nothing more than tin can robots by some of the senior doctors. To escape this chaos, I went hiking, where I found the nearly lifeless body of the esteemed surgeon Dr. Kauffrene. Despite my efforts, it was too late to save him, but somehow I gained all his medical knowledge! Now my life is changing in ways I never expected, but is this a blessing… or a curse?

Comedy	140	Completed	7.64☆

If you haven’t read this one yet, consider yourself lucky – you’re in for a treat! This extremely popular manhwa masterfully blends romance and comedy, guaranteeing laughter in every chapter. I highly recommend it.

What’s surprising is that despite its exceptional quality, it hasn’t received the widespread recognition it deserves. Trust me, it’s worth your time. Give it a try and experience the humor and charm for yourself!

6. Surviving The Apocalypse 

THEME	CHAPTERS	STATUS	RATING

Hands down, this manhwa is one of the best creations of the year. The storytelling, plot, and writing are all top-notch. The author’s expression and composition are impeccable, making this manhwa a true standout.

While the artwork may not be the most impressive, it’s by no means the worst. In fact, it’s quite decent. As you read through the chapters, you’ll likely find yourself becoming fully immersed in the story, and the artwork will cease to be a distraction.

THEME	CHAPTERS	STATUS	RATING
Prophecy	34	Ongoing	7.13☆

The story itself is engaging and well-crafted. However, the pacing can be a bit slow, and the frequent use of flashbacks may be frustrating at times. Nevertheless, it’s clear that the author is intentionally using this narrative device to help readers become fully invested in the story.

This manhwa likely needs no introduction, as many of you may have already read it. It’s an exceptional title that excels in both storytelling and humor. The comedic elements are particularly well-done, making it a truly enjoyable read. One drawback is that it’s been on hiatus for about eight months, with no official update on when it will resume. However, given that it’s being published by TappyToon, it’s likely that the series will eventually continue, as TappyToon tends to see their projects through to completion.

This one shows tremendous promise, but it’s challenging to predict its future direction or whether the plot will become drawn out. One notable aspect is that the main character actually practices necromancy, which is a significant plus. This is especially notable compared to other manhwas that claim to feature necromancy but fail to deliver; in contrast, this one stays true to its themes.
