I know you guys are desperately searching for action manhwas with amazing art and interesting plots but still couldn’t find something that could quench that thirst and somehow by fate ended up here.
I know all of this might sound somewhat like an exaggeration, but what if I told you that you made the best decision because here we don’t recommend those mainstream manhwas which even a kindergartner had read. Instead we bring out hidden gems.
Oh! Did you get bored?
Fret not! continue reading and you might stumble upon something wonderful.
10- Phantom Spirit King
What happens if the world was split into individuals with martial arts powers and also people without it? Taeyeon Kang was one of the lucky few born with such powers. He enrolled in Murim Police University, a special college for those with powers to stand on the side of justice. However he has a secret of his own.
He goes there to uncover the truth behind his dad’s disappearance and also to seek protection from the Evil Murim Faction which is after his family’s secret book of martial arts techniques. At the same time, the epic Ghost King makes his grand return, years after his strange disappearance.
This is one of those manhwas where the art is the strongest point. Honestly, it is so mesmerizing that I was hooked to it but there are several cons too. Like this manhwa has many plot holes which makes it somewhat of a cliché.
But if you are here for the action and art, then this manhwa doesn’t disappoint one bit. The action choreography is top notch and art is high quality.

9- Heavenly Demon Instructor
In a world where super-powered heroes fight extradimensional monsters, Hyunsoo is just a puny supporter without any powers. The weakest in the food chain. That is, until a god-like grandmaster named Chunma from the medieval past shows up out of nowhere and becomes Hyunsoo’s teacher.
At first our MC was a bit skeptical about choosing him as his master but after seeing his amazing abilities, he was fully convinced.
Only our main character Hyunsoo can see Chunma so, Chunma secretly tutors Hyunsoo in the way of the fist. But when his new powers force him to join the battle against the monsters, Hyunsoo is thrust into the front seat of a wild adventure, with Chunma along for the ride.
In this manhwa we have an overpowered MC. Well, at the start our main character is too weak but in just a few chapters he becomes too strong with the help of his overpowered master.
Art is pretty good and story is also interesting but as they say if there are pros there are cons. So, here too our MC is no smart and a wimp type, that is a major turn off for me. Although, his attitude changes after few chapters, it’s rather slow.

8- Legendary Youngest Son of the Marquis House
Our protagonist’s only goal was Revenge! He overthrew the Tulkan Empire, a single nation that dominated the continent. He had always succeeded in gaining victory. He had accomplished all he needed to and was satisfied. That’s why he accepted his approaching death. He no longer had a reason to live. And so his heart stopped beating.
Well, he definitely felt it stop. However, what in the world happened? “It’s not black magic and it doesn’t seem like an illusion either.”
He then realizes that he has been reborn, not just in the body of any random guy but he regressed 20 years back and possessed his teenage body.
A boy with short, black hair was reflected in the mirror. He looked exactly like when I was 14, which was 20 years ago. A young boy, who hasn’t lost his baby fat yet, patted his cheeks and murmured, “How is this possible?”.
Yes, he had returned. This time he will leave no regrets!
The start of this manhwa can be a bit generic but after that, you can’t predict anything. The change of MC’s attitude, the side characters viciousness, the strange past of MC and so many more interesting things. The best thing I like about this manhwa, is that the Main character is just too overpowered and art is beautiful.
If it was only this much then I wouldn’t have liked it that much but seeing our MC being smart, ruthless, savage, badass etc. I count this manhwa as in my top 10.

7- Worthless Regression
An ordinary middle schooler, Lee Sungmin, was summoned to a world called ‘Eria’. He endured for dozens of years with no talents or powers, and made it through all kinds of hardships to survive, but died miserably in the end.
However, before he died, he regresses back to the past after obtaining a mysterious item called the ‘Stone of the Past Life’ by chance, and gains the opportunity to start his life anew.
Yet, he still lives a life without any talents, having nothing. Although he can’t approach the geniuses around him due to the ‘wall’ surrounding them, as well as feeling inferior, he moves forward step by step with firm determination, never giving up.
“No matter what, I’m going to live a better life than my previous one even if I have to struggle!”, that’s how determined our main character is.
This is one of those manhwa which is absolutely perfect. The art, story, main character, side character and even the plot is interesting.
The main character, Lee Sungmin is talentless but that doesn’t stop him from working hard. This manhwa has a lot of emotions.

6- Player From Today Onwards
It’s been 100 years since ordinary people turned into livestock to live as hunters’ slaves. They have been living a hellish life. One day, while training hard to become a hunter to fix this unbearable situation, Our protagonist was attacked by Eden’s Athena, who wanted the “Diary of the Demon King”.
Thanks to the powers of our MC’s mentor, Sungkoo, he was saved and succeeded in going back 100 years ago, but then a message suddenly appeared in front of him, “I, the Sky of Apocalypse will be your sponsor!”.
The Sky of Apocalypse who had sponsored the Demon King?
Then… “I’ll become the player!”
That is how the journey of our MC started.
Well, after reading the first chapter, you might have a lot of different thoughts like, “This manhwa seems a lot like other manhwas….” but as you go past the first 5 chapters, you’ll realize that the story is different from what you had imagined.
This manhwa basically falls into the revenge category. So, you should be ready for some hardcore action.

5- My Daughter Is the Final Boss
Our protagonist’s daughter destroyed the world. At the end of mankind, our main character died helplessly. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had somehow travelled to the past and in front of him was his five-year-old daughter.
Suddenly a strange window appeared in front of him
<Unique Quest: Changing the Future >
Stop Seol-ah Lee’s five misfortunes. (0/5)
He had been given a chance once again If he couldn’t raise his daughter properly like he did in his past life, then this world would perish by her daughter, as she would once again become the devil.
The main character regressed and now he has to do good upbringing of his daughter or she will become the most powerful evil boss.
Even though many people might have skipped this manhwa due to the ridiculous title, but trust me this is a good one. If you are on the wholesome manhwa side with a tinge of action to it then this is for you. The art is fantastic and story is something out of the box.
I loved the manhwa, especially the MC, it’s good to see a protagonist who isn’t dumb and childish and gets offended in the smallest arguments. Our protagonist is very mature, but more than that he really cares for his daughter. Seol-ah is too cute and the dialogues she says are also very wholesome.

4- Swordmaster’s Youngest Son
A manhwa that is flawless!
This manhwa has all the aspects that is needed for a masterpiece- Interesting Plot, Amazing story, Beautiful art, Smart and Badass Main Character and above all this manhwa has the best action scenes.
Jin Runcandel is the youngest son of the the greatest Swordmaster. He is talentless, even though he works the hardest. But no one likes him, after all in this world the strong rule and weak are loathed. Later he gets himself kicked out of his clan and eventually meets a tragic fate, but before he dies, God gives him a second chance.
He regresses back to when he was a baby. Now he must use his new power for good. Will Jin become the world’s strongest Swordmaster and live up to his greatest potential or Would he become the same talentless fool once again?
I’ll definitely recommend this manhwa to all the reincarnation/reborn genre manhwa fans. The story is basically like this- Our main character was the weakest guy in the family and everyone trampled on him and looked at him with disgust. Later our MC dies a horrific and unjust death but realizes that he has been reborn as a baby in the past. Now it’s time for him to show who is the boss.
Well, this might sound like the usual cliché, well it actually is but here me out, everyone is loving this manhwa because of one thing- Execution. This manhwa even though has a cliché start has a very good execution style. The way the characters are introduced, each and everyone has its own story. It’s not like some young masters looking for a beating.

3- The Novel’s Extra
One of the most loved Korean manhwas!
After waking up, Kim Hajin finds himself in a familiar world but in an unfamiliar body. A world he created himself and a story he wrote, yet never finished. He had become his novel’s extra, a filler character with no importance to the story.
The only clue to escaping is to stay close to the main storyline. However, he soon finds out the world isn’t exactly identical to his creation. Now, he has only one goal- To Survive!
“A manhwa which doesn’t have cliché”, that is the only sentence I can use to describe this masterpiece.
What made me like this manhwa is that, unlike other manhwas where the MC are strong from the start or at least become strong enough to beat their peers but here the protagonist is super weak and his strength increases at snail’s speed.
One more thing which shocked me is that the protagonist was never described as handsome, instead he was said to be average, too average.

2- Lightning Degree
This manhwa is also known as Masters of Lightning Knives.
A young orphan was alone in the world until he meets the master of a secret form of martial arts. In order to learn these godly techniques, he endured years of his sadistic teacher’s grueling and weird training. But when you look at his training, you’ll see him doing laundry, cooking meals, or playing instruments….
What a weird training method!
If he survives long enough and if his ego doesn’t get in the way, he just might be able to wield the unstoppable lightning knives. Will he make the cut or be sliced down to size?
If I would recommend a manhwa after Legend of the Northern Blade, then it would definitely be this one. There are so many good things about this manhwa, the first one is the art- It is unique and beautiful in its own way.
The story is so intriguing that you won’t be able to put down your phones until you read all chapters. One of the most important factor when delivering a good story is character development, which Lightning Degree has to a huge extent.
Also, our MC is not arrogant. Even though he was weak at the start, he trains diligently by the guidance of his teacher and becomes a powerful martial artist.

1- Damn Reincarnation
This is a manhwa which has an actual monster of a MC!
I have read countless manhwas where the main character becomes stronger using cheats or working harder or by using the knowledge of his past life. But this is the first time I have seen someone so different.
Imagine someone doing too much hard work but only to realize that his body is average and can’t tolerate that much pressure and has its limit. But what would happen if you give him a body which can grow infinitely and has no limits.
Then it will produce a being which transcends humanity!
That chance was given to our protagonist.
To describe the protagonist of this manhwa, I’ll use only one word- MONSTER.
Hamel, a warrior who traveled with his colleagues to exterminate the Demon King. Yet, he died just before the battle with the Demon King started. He was reborn as the descendant of his fellow warrior, Vermouth. Which he considered his rival and always competed with him.
The descendant from the bloodline of the great Vermouth, Hamel. But Now, he was now Eugene Lionhart!
“It was already enough me having the delusion that I was a genius in my past life. But this…It’s… It’s incomparable.”
He gets reincarnated in to a new body, which is full of mysteries. He can have all the achievements that he did not have in his previous life. He can train his body to the fullest without any limiter.
But the strange thing is, when he reincarnates he realizes that the new world was not what he imagined it to be and found it questionable.
