That good isekai stuff.(P.S I have read enough to confirm they are good in my opinion ofc.)

Got chills from how good some of these were... definitely altered my brain chemistry.

Best Action/Reincarnation/Fantasy/Revenge/Dungeon/Gates/Tower/Game Manhwa

*There is a separate stack for “villainess”.
**This includes only the top 50 read “villain” title Manhwas.

A manhwa list of my own personal preference (no particular order).

There are some mainstream titles, but I try to steer away from most since they are easily found elsewhere. I am also trying to keep it with these newer age manhwa.

My reading pattern is to binge series, so if there is a particularly weak arc or if the direction is bad enough I will drop it. There are lots of manhwa with VERY strong starts - but sadly fall off or get axed.

Edit: 2025 - some of these are no longer alt and have moved more mainstream.

Others not listed:
A Practical Guide to being Evil - 45
Creepy Pharmacist
Becoming a Cthulhuian Overlord
Dao of the Bizare Immortal - 54
The Delusional Hunter in Another World - 65
Apocolyptic forecast

All manhwa range from comedy, romance, drama, isekai and combat.

As I find new manhwa´s I´ll update them om this list.

A collection of peak manhwa/ua's focused on nobility , reincarnation , magic , regression type manhwas.
Not strictly following a order but in general the lower the entry in the list the lesser I liked it. (Not strictly)

Eligibility criteria : I cared enough about them to reread/keep up with them yearly.


Not on MAL :
The Beginning after the end.

Manhwas that I personally think everybody would like, so even if you aren't used to reading them you should be able to enjoy the story/art/characters

Some new-ish/short stuff that I found interesting

These Manhwas/Mangas are about the MC being the villain, being forced to play the villain, or is isekaied (regressed) as a trash character (character that is not strong, or terrible personality, etc...).

Villainesses often get the spotlight, but sometimes the MC is an unlucky guy.
