My most fav stories: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/2806894/
yay a whole list!! tysm i’ll def check them out :)
Honestly im not sure how high your standards are, but for me, a good story has well developed characters, an okay plot, (doesnt have to be incredible but in the very least- not recycled) good art, and the most important thing, when the story used literary techniques. Such as circullar structures, parralell narratives etc.
Now here are some of my recs where ive seen all the above being applied in some way:
First and for most, if you havent yet read Blue Lock GO READ IT!!! Ignore the fans, focus on the meaning of the plot and the lessons we can learn from it.
Now for more niche recs:

This one is brilliant and truly underrated. The art is delicious, the characters are realistic. What makes this stand out is definitely the story and the real world historical application. Only problem is that no one is bothered to pick this up which truly is such a shame.

Best thing about this story are the characters. Just everything about them is so well thought out. Their dynamics are cute and so are their interactions.

I like this one. Sure its cliche but one thing i like is that there are no unnecessary chapters. It has a perfect balance of story progression and humour. The art is good and the author at least attempted to provide a reason to help cover some obvious plot holes, unlike some stories.
I feel like for this, you kinda have to analyse it a bit more to understand and appreciate the authors efforts.

Didnt have high hopes for this one but it turned out to be decent. I think i liked it because of the fl, who was written fantastically. Her growth was really good and the art is ok. I also liked how it was more political. This was definitely a story where it was more plot focused rather than romance. I would reccomend reading some of the chapters of webtoon with the ads bc the tl here is so ahh.

This one is another underrated and overhated manhwa. One thing i like about manhwas like these are that it quickly eliminated the readers with zero braincells with how ‘boring’ it is. Another work where you kinda have to analyse to comprehend its brilliance. Also updates are pretty consistent.

Pretty popular but imo not popular enough. Its best described as melancholic. It also uses all of the criterias i mentioned.
