NOTE: I made this interest stack when there was literally only 5 manhwa that could qualify since webtoons weren't allowed in the database unless a physical copy existed. Now that the webtoon database has been expanded, this list needs a refining/retuning aka I have to read all the manhwa listed on here to make sure it actually fits the SL-like vibes I'm looking for. Oof. Expect snail-pace changes to the list and please, dear god, feel free to make your own LitRPG interest stack.

Thanks to berreJona for suggesting Taming Master/Level Up With the Gods/The Player Who Can't Level Up

Thanks to Aaduu for suggesting ~10 of the items on this page (I do not think anyone wants to hear me list all of them).

If you have any suggestions for this list (adding/removing), just send me a DM. I'm on-and-off active on this site so I might get back to you late but your reply will be read and your suggestions are taken into consideration. Please note that the max number of items is 50.

A list of Manhwa featuring the genres of dungeons, leveling system, reincarnation etc in no particular order.....

I overestimated the amount of descriptions but I will finish it.

From action fantsy, romance, isekai, and thriller, they’re all in here. Some are manhwa I’ve lost track of and had to restart recently so it’s definitely been very fun to make this list. There aren’t in any sure order like always! Enjoy! (Currently adding explanations!)

This is a collection of manhwas and manhuas which takes place in an original World, mostly a fantasy one.

The main characters didn't transmigrate here, they migh be reincarnated into another timeline or time-traveled, but they still remain in their original world which is not Earth.

Shounen and seinen manhwa based on Korean genre print novels, electronic novels, or web novels.

In South Korea, the "Japanese" division of novels and comics into shounen, shoujo, etc. is an uncommon, but English translators and readers often divide Korean novels and comics into shounen, shoujo, etc. This list is based on information from Baka-Updates Manga.

Manhwa (Korean: 만화; Hanja: 漫畵; Korean pronunciation: [manβʷa]) is the general Korean term for comics and print cartoons. Outside Korea, the term usually refers to South Korean comics. Manhwa is directly influenced by Japanese manga comics. 

This list will be continuously updated.

This list will only feature power fantasies (op mc, etc).

REMARKS:
Check out my other interest stacks for more recommendations (such as manhwa with no op mc trope). In creation now
Highly recommend checking out manhua and donghua (it's getting better and better, might as well start now!).

*Check out the continuation of this interest stack for more great picks!*
