Weapon Maker

Ongoing | | 2022 released

The MC is so much like Kim Dokja that it isn't even funny. He's brainy, which is refreshing. He has to hide his strength and blah blah blah. I like how we have a deuteragonist (Yoon Taeheon). All of their abilities are really cool, and the art amplifies the effects. They look kinda lifeless, but it's part of the charm I think. The MC is really OP, but it's also interesting how he can function as a support as if he were in a game, he'd be rated SSS+ tier, not purely because of his offensive abilities but those and his support abilities combined. Think Kuroko. This is still at the beginning stages, but I think the characters have a good base for being good characters. Only about three characters have defined personalities rn though. The world building isn't anything mind-blowing as of yet, but it will probably come down to the execution.

The Iron-Blooded Necromancer Has Returned

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Help, I love this. This is a classic revenge story, but the action is just too good. The fight scenes are epic with the MC just summoning more and more of his legion. The brutality is excellently expressed. Blood and decapitation galore…. Makes for a satisfying read in which you cannot help but root for the MC. I also like the character designs, especially regarding the MC’s subordinates. The art is kind of lacking, but the plot/action makes up for that. Right now, the MC’s just killing pretty much everyone related to his brother, but I hope to see form at least some new connections.

It’s My First Time Being Loved

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I like this? Another reincarnation manhwa with kids that don’t necessarily act like kids. I like the slice of life and the underlying mystery abrewing. The ML looks to be Mikhail. Anyway, I like the characters. They all have their own personalities and issues, so they feel more real in a sense. 43

Delivery Man From Murim

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I read this on another site, so the reading might feel janky here. Honestly, this is mid, but it's not trash! I've been reading so much trash lately that this is a such a pleasant read. It's a "good series with slice of life, and it heals your mental health" to quote another reader. There's nothing that really hinders the reading experience, save for the hiding-your-power trope. I especially like the MC and his unique experience/perspective on the world. I just wish he'd kept his long hair…

The Edgeless Sword From the Village

Ongoing | | 2022 released

this is so interesting! for one, i love the protagonist. he’s got a wife and kid and practices martial arts. it’s a semi-more realistic take on the genre, which the art reflects. i really want to see more of the mc’s journey.

A Knight With a Time Limit

Ongoing | geum uihaeng,yunyeol choi | 2019 released

I really like the storyline! It’s not the same old recycled story you see dozens of times. It may start at the same point with the same tropes, but it branches off into one of its own kind. I can definitely feel the fantasy setting to its core with relatively unique systems like the “stigma.” The MC has a decent character, but I think it was the world building that reeled me in. Refreshing read.

The Heavenly Demon Lord Who Doesn't Want to Level Up

Ongoing | | 2022 released

This is fairly good. I like the blend of comedy and action and even the underlying mystery going on behind the scenes. I was worried that the MC would be a weirdo who goes after teenage girls, but that is not the case so far? I like the MC’s OP/ancient self transition into modern society. His relatively righteous character and past intrigue me.

Rejected Lady Enjoying a Modest Life

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Only 37 chapters in and I’m riveted! I’m in love with the setting and the characters. A lot of manhwa have settings with demons in them, but this one of the first times I’m so interested in the protagonist. Her dynamic character makes her feel real! I appreciate that she doesn’t just take things standing. She isn’t a walking stereotype, and I quite like that the romance is well integrated in the plot. The ML’s pretty cool, too.

Doctor Resignation

Ongoing | | 2019 released

This is fairly good! I love the doctor-y elements. This doesn’t feel cliché at all, and I like that the leads have their own personalities. The FL is pragmatic, and “realistic,” befitting of her mental age while the ML is a bit extreme and obsessive due to his lack of education. I like the art and the storyline. Just makes you want to cheer for Rita and her “found family.”

This is so interesting! I like that the MC still has weaknesses desire being strong. I’m also enjoying the setting. There’s no “magic,” just martial arts like another commenter said.
