Here are my top Korean webcomics. I consider these the best manwhas atm but I will keep updating this list!

All of these are romance, but they're also either fantasy or isekai (or both) *.*

Expect themes of family, revenge, aristocracy, and/or reverse harems in most of these!

Finally, enjoy the beautiful colored art and interesting stories <3

Otome Isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main character(s) are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game...

It is essentially the girly version of the modern shounen isekai that goes in the direction of female wish fulfillment. Instead of stuck in an action game, she's stuck in a romance novel or romance game. It is almost always "died and reborn there" rather than the sort of "stuck" we see in Sword Art Online or the "teleported" we saw in the 90s.

Here I put some of the romance manhwas that I love and some even have a few similarities, types like Historical (Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess, Empress/Emperor, King/Queen, Lady), Villainess/Villains, Family, Magic, and a few modern ones...

It was so difficult to find the manhwa I like that My Anime List even had, lmfao! I thought they had more of a selection but I guess not. It makes sense though, this is a Anime and Manga site mostly? This list is just a selection of some isekai romance manhwa’s. I hope you find something new, I did put a solid two hours into this list. (Explanations Coming Soon)

My absolute favorite fantasy romance manhwa so far. Most of these stories feature strong female leads.

A lot of these I have also read the novels for either to completion or near completion and I loved them as novels as well as manhwa. Usually novels give more details and personal storylines (since they're usually told from first person perspective). The novel romance scenes are usually more involved than their manhwa adaptations. So if you love any of these that started out as a novel, do check out the novel! Because you'll probably love it just as much if not more for the extra detail.

Two manhwa that MAL doesn't have listings for yet that I will add later:
1. Under the Oak Tree - The ultimate trash soap opera fantasy romance. Grab a bag of popcorn for this hot mess. It will not disappoint.
2. I Raised A Black Dragon - Super cute couple, fun fantasy / mystery story. Artwork is also cute.

Additional Notes: I personally adored the novel for "Return of the Female Knight" (aka "Return of Elena the Knight" manhwa). I've read the novel 5 times already. Maybe I'm too biased from reading the novel but I couldn't enjoy the manhwa. It is similar in tone to "From A Knight to a Lady". Personally, I like the themes in "Return of the Female Knight" (novel) better. So do check it out if you enjoyed "From A Knight to a Lady". It feels wrong of me not to include ROTFK on here but I just can't put it in a list titled "Best Manhwa".

𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠:
💭 This is ranked (as much as possible) by the male white-haired character's level of "male leadness" and since this is more or less a stack of romance manhwas, the criteria we're going to go with is that they should be the main love interest or endgame for the female lead.
💭 Therefore, there will actually be manhwas listed here that features the white-haired character as a second/third/etc. lead, support role, or in general just doesn't apply to the criteria we're following above. Don't worry as I'll be very specific about it as possible to prepare you for the heartbreak.
💭 The MLs' name would also be mentioned. The manhwa's synopsis would also be added right after so if you don't want to see any of that, I would recommend switching to tile/seasonal view.

[ above all else,, i really just need a compilation list of white-haired male leads for research purposes and not because i have a personal bias for silver mls (i do), 'tis all :> pls ignore me thank u (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆ ]

There's a lot of manhwa out there but not a whole lot with the best writing. This is a shortened list of manhwa with the best writing and characters in a variety of genres. Sadly a lot of webtoons aren't available to add to this list :(

Manhwas that in my opinion have a unique, beautiful and amazing drawing style and with splendid character designs.

What is Otome Isekai?
“The short answer is that Otome isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main characters are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game.” - r/Otomeisekai

Of course, there’s more than that. Otome Isekai (OI) tend to revolve around some variation of: “Female Leading character (FL) dying and reincarnating inside a romantic game or novel, usually as Villainess or side character, and now she must do whatever the plot demands this time to survive, usually helping or being helped by the Male Lead (ML), who doubles as the romantic interest.

It’s a genre that has a lot of attention nowadays, so I made this list for those wanting to see what the hype is about without having to read the lesser good ones (since this genre has A LOT of entries, a lot of them being at best boring and at worst actually problematic or screwed up *cough cough On the Emperor’s lap cough cough* ).

I tried my best to include some variation because at the end of the day this genre is very trope-y and you’ll probably start to guess a lot of what happens in any OI if you get caught up with like,, two of these.

I also included the genres (note, ALL of these have Rofan - Romance Fantasy in them because that’s like,, the point of this genre) and notes so you can pick what you’re interested in.

If you do get into this genre and now want to find memes and stuff about this, I recommend r/OtomeIsekai (I swear I’m not a mod there or anything) fun place and good to be able to rant or gush about any OI.)

As for where to read these? Well, you could purchase them from sites like Tapas, read them mostly for free if you're lucky on Webtoon, or use places like Batto or Mangapill if that’s not an option for you.
