New first manhwa: Flawed Almighty

A list of manga under 10,000 members, ranges from manga with N/A members to around 7000 members.
Included manga are either N/A in score or over 7.

These are unique or extremely good manga in their own aspect! All these manga and manhwa are or were listed in the club relations, and I personally have made a 150-400 word defense (the first one being an exception) for each of them, you can find the thread in the club discussions, or you can go straight there with this URL:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2017676

These are listed in order of the thread, with the first one (Kyuujitsu no Warumono-san) being written the first, its defense written May 21st of 2022.

Manga removed from the club this far:
The Fable
The Boxer

Do not interpret this list as "reccomendations for series as good as good as Berserk," because you won't get that! But if you like knights, swords and castles and occasionally magic and appreciate those things on an aesthethic level, then you'll find things to enjoy.

Manga/LNs featuring those who are always on the move or those who may be on a journey, with or without a particular destination. No isekai.

Mix of popular and less popular fantasy and isekai series

Collecting interesting fantasy manga

Mangas that have a sword and sorcery, sword-and-sandal, medieval/fantastical middle ages like setting

Here is a list of mangas that should appeal to old farts like me, who are too old to find fun in shonen characters getting stronger, cliché fantasy or in vanilla school romance tropes.
The main drive is that the manga should have some personality, with decent and properly written characters, laid-back humor, an interesting context and / or a subtle story. Good art and page layout are also appreciated. No violence porn or excessive fan service either, I like authors to focus on something else than these simple devices, although I'm not against them at very small doses when they serve the story. The manga may have been adapted in anime or not, I only address the mangas here.
There are probably some spoilers in my comments so skip them if you're worried about that.

In which the protagonist of the story is currently in the middle age period of their life. Maybe they’ve retired from adventuring after success? Or maybe it's even failure or humiliation? Nonetheless, they're called back into adventuring in one way or another. Maybe they’re called back into the real world again because their help is needed? Or they’ve finally been gifted a second chance at the life they wished to experience all those years ago? Or maybe their offsprings' call to adventure inadvertently drags them back?

Usually possessing the maturity as acquired from experience in life, they’re generally more world weary and mature, and not as naïve as the typical young age/teenage protagonist as found in shounen fantasy stories. However, the reversal may be true if the story is a comedy; such protagonists usually possess a stereotypical man-child/boomer mindset.
