From reincarnation, leveling, murim, and martial arts; to fantasy and dungeon manhwa!

This is a collection of manhwas or manhuas which are mainly take part in the Murim World, so martial arts are a must for these people.

I listed only those which I am reading and familiar with it.

As in the description, I included m manhwa with cunning/manipulative/evil/antihero/villain MCs.I like stuff with evil MCs who do what has to be done to achieve their goals without overthinking, and if you are like me, try out the following.

Korean martial world.

Best Murim Manhwa... from my reading list. Though tons of titles are missing since MAL hasn't listed them yet.

This is a 'TOP 10' type list... meaning that the order from 1st to last will be based on how good those manhwa are and how I personally like them.


P.S.: If you see any 'NEWLY ADDED' manhwa in top places, GO AND READ THEM ASAP!

If you tired of the usual regressed/reincarnated/dungeon hunting/game type manhwa with a plain OP MC that has nothing else going for it then try some of these.

Although some might still fall under the types above they have a twist or a solid plot progression that helps make up for it and make it very enjoyable.

P.S. I tried to include more new and unpopular manhwa that people may not have tried before. I still put some pretty popular ones if I feel that they really did something unique.

This is a stack of Action Manhwa where the MC is sent back in time to a younger version of themselves to have a Second Chance at life. This typically occurs after the MC dies, but death isn't always necessary. They usually use this opportunity to either: atone for their past mistakes / save a life / or just live a different life.
