Are you are looking for manhwa with original story, a well develop character, an amazing and unique art, and the great enjoyment and hype of an awesome power fantasy? Than this is the one you've been looking for.

The characters are not stale. We got the main characters that can fulfill all of our power fantasy craving but still able to be wise and humble. We have the side characters that really contribute to the development of the story and not just there, just because. We have the antagonists that makes the fighting scene awesome and crazy good.

The art is also very unique. If you are ...

Words really can't describe how I feel about this Manhwa. I started reading Manhwa when I found Solo Leveling and TBATE; each considered masterpieces by the community, but I can't help but feel like The Legend of the Northern Blade tops them in almost every aspect. The main, despite being the protagonist of a power fantasy is very humble and rational. The cold demeanor exhibited by many other characters gets a little stale. Everything from the art, to the characters, to the story is extremely refreshing and in the best way possible. It does something I've never seen in a Manhwa before (despite reading 50+), ...

Overall, I'm enjoying this manhwa. I like the style and the depiction of special abilities and moves. The main character of course has the usual tragic backstory, but he doesn't win all of his fights which I like, as usually the main is too OP for anything to even phase them. Most of the side characters also have reasonably good backstories, with the main getting stronger and wiser as he continues. The fight scenes are also extremely well done, with quite calculated and precise battles taking place. There are lots of different sects and 'groups' so it isn't just the 'good vs evil' troupe which ...

Simply a masterpiece and hidden gem of manwha, it seems to me to be one of the best manwhas out there and also one of the best that has to do with martial arts.

Story: 9/10
The story progresses great, being at first a revenge story with many epic moments and without advancing slowly or very fast, which changes little by little to something bigger.

Art: 10/10
The art is just unique, you may not like it at first but as you read it you realize that there was no better art to represent the manwha. A genius artist.

Characters 10/10
I love the characters, the protagonist has a development that ...

"Legend Of The Northern Blade" is a must read Murim manhwa with amazing action.

Ratings first:
Art - 10/10
Story - 8/10
Character - 9/10
Enjoyment - 9/10
Overall - 9/10

First of all, this manhwa is simply a must read. The character designs are varied and unique, and each could likely be recognized simply from their silhouettes. The artstyle might be offputting at first, but soon you will realize that is amazing whilst being stylized. The fights are actually nearing Sakamoto Days level of action, with incredible choreography and effects.

Legend of the Northern Blade" is nothing short of a masterpiece in the world of manhwa. From its incredible storytelling to its breathtaking art, it’s a series that truly stands out for so many reasons.

First, let’s talk about the story.

At its core, the manhwa follows Jin Mu-Won, a young warrior navigating a world of betrayal, revenge, and the heavy legacy of his father's sacrifices. While that might sound like a classic martial arts tale, what sets this apart is its depth. The plot doesn’t rush but takes its time to build a rich, immersive world filled with political intrigue, alliances, and deep ...

The Legend of Northern Blade has a simple basic idea. One child wanna get powerful and get his father's revenge. nothing special. But the story is more complicated. it has a great world building and characters and also it's know what wanna do with this world and these characters. the dialogues are good too. The art of this series isn't very normal and typical. it's a bit different from other series but personally liked it. it fit the story very well. i really can't imagine this manhwa (Or Weboon??) with another art style. i really enjoyed this series. Frankly this series don't have anything new ...

The Legend of the Northern Blade contains a rich world filled with fascinating martial arts, politics, characters, and depth beyond what a vast majority of stories can achieve. While the story might seem to start of on a slow start (Especially when comparing it to Manhwa in which the main character is a SSS+ Class God within the first 10 chapters) The Legend of the Northern Blade slowly draws out the reader's attention while showing them all that there is to love about the series - which is a lot.

If you're looking for a story to dive into, you'll sure love and get lost in ...

Well, that's a good cultivation manhwa with generic family revenge plot.
The art is fairly good too.
But, that's all there is about it.
Cultivation manhwa/ manhua with OP MC being the korean/ chinese counterpart of our old good antiquated nekketsu shonen.

If you like that kind of manhwa, you'll like it, if not...

So, that's a 6 but a 6 as a cultivation manhwa. If i'd be to mark it as an artpiece, I would put a 2 despite the fact I pretty enjoyed it. Like, you know, entertainment doesn't always mean quality. However, it has no pretention of being anything else than an entertainment.
Ergo, to conclude, ...
