Second Life Ranker is an awesome manhwa that deserves all the praises that it got. All of you who are interested in what I got here are aware that it can steal the first spots in many future rankings.

While no manhwa will replace this one, there are many that will give you the same satisfaction as you read them. You can find them in the recommendation list that is coming for all the Manhwas that are similar to Second Life Ranker.

 

KOREAN WEBTOONS SIMILAR TO SECOND LIFE RANKER (RECOMMENDATIONS)

 

24. Memorize

Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Drama / Fantasy / Mystery / Psychological / Romance / Tragedy / Webtoons

10/20	5/10	5/10	5/10	25/50

He was happy, he had everything he desired, and from one day to the next, everything was lost. Life turned into a nightmare. He subsisted with only one thought in mind, to gain back what was taken from him.

A higher being asked him a question: “Player Kim Su Hyun, do you truly wish to revert the time of “Hall Plain”?

You all guessed the answer of the man, it was “Yes”. That single word took him back to 10 years into the past where all his possibilities were still laid down before him.

To become a “Player” out of the blue to pursue a specific goal that he has his mind set on is similar to Eon-woo’s reason for venturing into the dreadful Tower.

 

23. I’m Destined For Greatness!

Genre(s): Shounen / Action / Fantasy / Webtoons

11/20	6/10	5/10	5/10	27/50

It is just amazing how you can turn into a totally different person the second you hide behind your avatar online!

Taehyun Kim is the most mundane man you’ll ever meet. He is even more boring than the average person, but that’s only in the real world.

The second he logs in, he transforms. He plays one of the most popular and difficult games of his time, and yet he finds it way too easy for his godly skills.

He chose the most inconvenient attribute and aimed for first place. Still, it was a piece of cake so he even went as far as to compete jobless.

However, it looks like that game is in love with him cuz even with all these handicaps, he can’t find an entertaining challenge.

Taking on a new persona, and hiding behind a mask as someone you are not are two traits that the MC of I’m Destined For Greatness and Second Life Ranker have in common.

 

22. Dawn Of The Frozen Wastelands 

Genre(s): Action / Fantasy

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
11/20	6/10	6/10	5/10	28/50

Let’s go back to the beginning of time, to a land where everything was considered the creation and possession of God.

A disastrous war broke out in a world unlike any other. However, that war was not a typical one since the two parties were supposed to be on the same side.

The Heroes, the protector of Eastland, are at each other’s throats and are threatening to destroy the world just to find their fated destiny.

This Manhwa tells a story ruled by fate, a fate that no one can escape from just like the path that Eon-woo is stuck on.

 

21. The Tutorial is too Tough

Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Psychological / Supernatural / Webtoons

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
13/20	6/10	6/10	5/10	30/50

A weird pop-up just appeared before the eyes of the MC of this Korean Webtoon. An invitation was handed to him like a hologram and instead of freaking out the guy just went with the flow without asking any questions.

The message read, “Would you like to enter the tutorial world”? Sounds like the introduction of some game…

Next question: What difficulty would you like the tutorial to be set at? You got the normal option going from easy to hard and one extra that says “Hell”.

Without an ounce of hesitation, the MC picked the last option and he has the guts to complain about how extremely hard that impossible game is.

He picked Hell, I mean the name was straightforward enough, just what was he expecting, Baka!

His life turned into a game thanks to one simple step, one single decision, just like the MC of Second Life Ranker.

 

20. Leveling With The Gods

Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Fantasy / One Shot / Shounen / Supernatural / Webtoons

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
13/20	6/10	6/10	6/10	31/50

He was a god amongst humans. He was unmatched in terms of strength, speed, agility, battle sense, etc… and yet, despite how overpowered he was, Kim YuWon was defeated by the evil that is threatening his world.

However, thanks to the sacrifice of his nakama, Kim received a second chance. He traveled back to the past with all the knowledge and experience he accumulated so far and attempted to climb the dreadful Tower once more.

He was not about to make the same mistakes twice!

The similarity with Second Life Ranker is of course the Tower factor that both MCs are currently climbing.

 

19. Overgeared

Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Drama / Martial Arts / Sci-fi / Slice Of Life

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
14/20	6/10	6/10	7/10	33/50

Shin Youngwoo is a puny construction worker, however, online…he is still nothing more than a laborer. This life was just shitty though and through.

It was about time something positive happened to him. By sheer luck, he found the entrance to the “Northern End Cave” that led him to a legendary quest.

When the quest was successfully cleared, he received “Pagma’s Rare Book” and with a click, he went from loser to the rank of a legendary class player.

The obvious similarity here is that a book changed the lives of both MCs. But that’s not all, since you will find Shin to be very comparable to Eon in terms of personality.

 

18. The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years

Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Fantasy

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
14/20	7/10	6/10	7/10	34/50

The Demi-Gods are controlling the world from the shadows and only a handful of great magicians are aware of their evil presence.

Lucas Traumen was the leader of those mages and as strong as his gang was, compared to him they were nothing.

They fought together for years but their fight came to an end when Lucas was ambushed by Demi-God and trapped in a parallel world for 4000 years.

On the brink of madness, he was saved by a bullied child that appeared in his dimension after committing suicide.

As Lucas took over his body, he came back into the real world as Frey Blake, an incompetent magician that was abandoned by his family because of his weakness.

Now that he was back, it was time to take revenge for himself and Frey as well who died full of regrets and resentments.

A dead person that came back to life, very close to the plot of Second Life Ranker, no?

 

17. SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

Genre(s): Webtoons / Action / Adventure / Comedy / Drama / Fantasy / Psychological

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
14/20	7/10	7/10	7/10	35/50

He was on the brink of despair, wishing to become an overpowered player just like the idol that he admired.

Instead of working towards his goal, he begged and begged anyone that would listen. I guess that even the gods can get annoyed since they answered his calls, I believe, just to shut him up.

You want to become an S-Class hunter, then so be it! The only prerequisite procedure is for you to die. A cheap price for ultimate power, no?

What do you think a completely deranged person chose to do in this situation?

After acquiring what he desired the most, the MC of this Korean Manhwa changed 180 degrees. The pitiful hunter became a calculative and dark individual that attracted all the most important figures around him, just like Eon.

 

16. The Blade of Evolution: Walking Alone in the Dungeon

Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Supernatural / Webtoons

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
15/20	7/10	7/10	7/10	36/50

He was trash until he woke up to his healing ability. Oops, nothing changed since his attributes are just as trashy as he is.

He still dared to venture into Dungeons, and during a raid, the worst happened.  He and his party accidentally unsealed the “Last Priest” and they were all whipped out except for him.

He hanged on to live, survived, and even got his hands on a mysterious omnipotent sword that gave him the ability to level up. Now a changed man, what is he going to do with all that power?

Eon also received an ultimate weapon, although it was a diary, the end game is the same, they both became unparalleled players that no one can match.

 

15. Dungeon Reset

Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Webtoons

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
15/20	7/10	7/10	7/10	36/50

This particular Dungeon abides by one simple rule, “Reset the Next User”. However, one player was, how to put it… immune to that rule since it didn’t apply to him.

Stuck in an endless loop, Jung-down found himself inside that same Dungeon over and over again possessing average skills but overwhelming weapons that he gathered during his infinite time in that hellish place.

For you who have read Second Life Ranker, you know that Eon can reset a stage as many times as he wants and would go as far as repeating the same scenario more than a 100 times in order to get the results that he desired.

Although one is resetting things intentionally while the other is stuck in the situation, they are experiencing kind of the same feeling at the end of the day.

 

14. Hardcore Leveling Warrior

Genre(s): Action / Shounen / Webtoons / Comedy / Drama / Fantasy

This manhwa is one of the longest ones available right now and it is still ongoing. With 313 chapters up till now, it will keep you entertained for at least a good two weeks.

So, if you are looking for something to pass the time, this is it. Ah, and of course, the story is also not shabby at all. You have quantity AND super good quality.

The plot is based on an RPG game called “Lucid Adventure“. The rules are simple, the rankers who clear quests are the ones who will receive all the rewards available. A rule that perfectly suited Ethan, the best player of the game. That was until he was thrown back to level 1 after a mysterious new player just killed him out of the blue.

However, he was not about to let go of his glory, he will do anything necessary to get back on top stronger than ever, and ready for retribution.

 

13. A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special

16/20	8/10	7/10	7/10	38/50

The Shadow World is slowly overtaking our own. We, normal people, have no means to fight against it. Our only option is to rely on powerful magicians that are now considered the protectors of humanity.

The most massive Shadow Labyrinth ever appeared. It’s the biggest threat that they ever had to face. More than 1000 magicians were dispatched to take care of the imminent danger.

10 long years have passed since the beginning of the battle and from those 1000 warriors, only 10 remained. Up against the final boss, a colossal dragon, they gave their all to ensure that the sacrifice of their comrades was not in vain.

They defeated him, they didn’t even get to savor their victory when the body of their enemy auto destructed and exploded killing all of them in the blast.

However, one of them didn’t exactly perish. Desir Arman woke up in the past, to the days when he was still a student at the Academy.

With all the knowledge of the future that he now possesses, he is going to rewrite the ending of their journey and make sure that it’s a happy one this time around.

Eon didn’t see the future with his own eyes, however, he does know everything that will be happening during the tests the Tower will put him through, in other words, he knows the future.

 

12. The Player That Can’t Level Up

Genre(s): Webtoons / Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Mystery

Similarity:	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
16/20	8/10	7/10	8/10	39/50

Dungeons started popping up all around the world. Those Dungeons were filled with treasures but horrifying monsters also roamed in their midst.

So humans could fight on equal grounds with those inhuman creatures, they were given special abilities. Of course, not all of them had the honor to become players, only chosen ones did. Even among those chosen ones, ranks existed.

Kim GiGyu was one of the few who awakened. He didn’t just awaken, he also got a legendary skill that should have catapulted him to the top spots in one go.

However, instead of strength, that ability froze him on level 1 and he became the weakest of all players. That was true until he discovered how to use that very unique skill. Well, now he can only be described as overpowered. But something dark is eating him up from the inside. Will he give in to evil or stay true to himself?

Here as well, one of the main objectives of the MC is to climb the Tower that turned the world into what it currently is. That is the similarity with Second Life Ranker.

 

11. I Am The Sorcerer King

Monsters suddenly appeared on Earth and started attacking all living beings. The humans were given powers to fight against the new threat and those who awoke became hunters.

It immediately became the most lucrative job someone could have. Although Lee SungHoon was your average human, he still entered the industry in order to make money.

He couldn’t fight so he became monster bait. A super dangerous job, not worth the remuneration if you ask me, but well, who are we to judge? Anyways, as expected, he was about to get eaten when the memories of his past life flashed through his mind and his overwhelming power was released.

He was the one and only “Sorcerer King”! One MC is armed with the knowledge of the past while the other possesses that of the future.

He was thrilled, all his money problems disappeared. He enjoyed himself only for a second until loan sharks barged in and threw him into misery again.

Kim Dokja was the only reader on Earth who finished reading the book called “Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World”. When he read the last sentence, a strange phenomenon started happening, and the world turned into the very novel he just finished.

Thrown into an apocalyptic world filled with sadistic games, nightmarish monsters, and surrounded by enemies, the one who knows what is going to happen next sure has a huge advantage.

A book/diary that gave the MC all the necessary information about the unfolding of the next chapter. It reminds you of something, right?
