13/20	6/10	9/10	8/10	36/50

The webtoons show a perfect relationship between an apparently crippled boy and his friend who was supposedly powerful. But the main character has mysterious powers and that’s the twist in the manhwa. The main theme is the character with hidden abilities who becomes overpowered.

My suggestion is to give it a try. The story is worth reading!

This Korean fantasy manhwa captures the attention of all the webtoon addicts and game lovers like me because it is centered upon the story of the greatest gamer of all times in Paradiso. He died suddenly due to exhaustion due to excessive playing and gaming.

 All his knowledge about games was utilized when he was reborn as an obese and unknown noble, Jared. He applied all the knowledge to prevent the Great Nasu war which was going to destroy the world in 5 years. 

He proved himself of great importance as he made use of all the cheats and bugs to protect his land  from the after effects of war. My strongest recommendation is for all the game lovers to read this webtoon.

17/20	8/10	7/10	9/10	41/50

The plot of this manhwa is improved by the quite fast action which distinguishes it from other monotonous and sluggish webtoons. The plot is fascinating and revolves around Kim Kibong who was captured in an awakening test. The test was about 3000 years.

It seems like a prolonged time period but in the real world, those 3000 years are just equal to 10 years. After his return to the real world, he had to encounter a world full of monsters and mysterious creatures.

The story develops by illustrating the struggles and journey of Kim to transform the world into its original condition.

I am pretty sure that you will love the art of the webtoon. Please give it a hit!

Fantasy Aspect	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
18/20	7/10	8/10	8/10	42/50

You surely have guessed from the name but it’ll be fun also to read my point. A skeleton tries to save his lady and her magic but fails continuously. He comes again, uses past experiences not to make mistakes and the story continues. The funny thing is, the main character has no actual name in this webtoon.

The mystery aspect is great in this manhwa. Attention is divided evenly between all characters. Fantasy and magic are something to read here as well.

 

11. Survival Story Of A Sword King In A Fantasy World

Fantasy Aspect	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
18/20	8/10	8/10	8/10	42/50

How about reading a webtoon where the main character is suffering for a long time. The devastating and oppressive incidents are only doing good to him and making himself sturdier day by day? I can guess you would feel the same energy I felt while reading.

 Every suffering and misery Ryu Han-Bin went through was paid back with power and liveliness when he was sent to another world of monsters to survive alone. And that’s not only the general plot, the thing inside the Manhwa is only for you to explore. Art is not cheeky. Characters are matchless, and the story is anything else but typical. 

 

10. Tower of God

18/20	8/10	8/10	9/10	43/50

This Korean manhwa released as a webtoon revolves around a boy named Twenty-Fifth Bam and the story of his friendship. The boy was trapped in a giant and majestic power all alone except for his friend, Rachel, to accompany him there. The only person in his life was Rachel and he couldn’t imagine living without her.

Bam was all devastated when Rachel somehow entered the tower. He would do anything to reunite with his friend and this fiction manhwa is centered on his undertakings to reach the top of the tower to find Rachell. He had to pass a lot of tests to climb every step of the tower which examined his intelligence, knowledge and abilities.

Khun Agnes belonged to one of the families who first climbed the tower. He saw Bam on the second floor. Khun helped Bam to reach the top of the tower because he found his personality interesting enough. I found this manhwa really intriguing and got myself involved in the great plot.

 

9. Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with The Lamp

19/20	7/10	8/10	9/10	43/50

If you are into reading a Manhwa about a female lead and reincarnation, this webtoon is just right for you. The story has a spark in the beginning where a young surgeon tries to share her previous knowledge of medicine in her new life to be a better person and help others.

A manhwa with a plot that involves medicine and reincarnation was an incredible thing to read. If you have enough dedication and love for art, my recommendation is to go for it.

  

8. A Returners Magic Should Be Special

7. Solo Leveling

Fantasy Aspect	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
18/20	9/10	8/10	9/10	44/50

This manhwa has a storyline strong enough to be enchanting for the audience. It has very well developed characters and a fantasy plot focused on the boy, Jin-Woo. His life can be called anything but happy. He had no money and was devoid of powers as well as opportunities.

The character is weakest in the beginning and gradually becomes stronger as the story proceeds. It highlights the quest of the boy to become stronger and his struggles of becoming an S rank hunter.

The story line I would say was not my type and its progress was a bit slow and monotonous but you can read it if dungeons kind of fascinate you.

 

6. Black Haze

Fantasy Aspect	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
18/20	9/10	9/10	9/10	45/50

Black Haze, one of the best manhwas about magic and its magnificent powers. The story revolves around a boy with extraordinary magical abilities and the irony is that his powers are supposed to be a secret. He was on a mission and it was going all wrong.

 What would someone do in such a miserable situation? He was sent to a magic school. There, he had to perform another important task which was protecting a boy who was the second son of a renowned man.

 Lidusis was going through hard times at the magical school, Helios. Rood found out the reason for his hardships and it was that he was being called a Monster. He was living a miserable life indeed!

 

5. Flow

Fantasy Aspect	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
20/20	9/10	7/10	9/10	45/50

An easy-going and expectable Webtoon but an exciting story to read. This manhwa didn’t get enough popularity but, in my opinion, it is worth reading.

A fantasy webtoon which is about the destiny of a boy which began to alter as he received a gift from his noble god.

In the world of this manhwa, every child has their own god. Gods differ in their strength. Children of strong gods are able to survive through the world and reach up to high school but offsprings of weaker gods are suppressed by the world and have to start a job after middle school. The main character can make a use of his wish but he had to return to his high school time to do so.

 

4. Second Life Ranker

Fantasy Aspect	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
20/20	8/10	8/10	10/10	46/50

The toughest manhwa to explain for me is Second Life Ranker. The main character suffers to take revenge not for himself, but for his brother who died a mysterious death. There was nothing else to do until he found the diary of his brother and decided to travel to the Tower of the Sun God. The story may not make you addicted to it but the art will for sure. The fantasy level shown in the webtoon is beyond imagination, if you are interested in next-level fantasy, it is surely for you.

 

3. The Beginning After The End

Fantasy Aspect	Character Writing	Plot	Art	Total
19/20	10/10	9/10	9/10	47/50

A story which will make you laugh and cry, become frustrated and relaxed at the same time.

Their character writing, story and action go very well with each other.

In the reincarnation genre it is one of my favorite manhwas where a king with amazing strength gets another chance to live and correct his past mistakes in a world full of magic and monsters.But an unknown threat is coming.

The fantasy in the manhwas is worth reading and it may compel you to re-read it.

 

2. The Gamer

This fantasy webtoon revolves around the story of Han, fighting for his survival in a world full of monsters and people with relatable qualities. He strived to increase his intelligence and to gain mastery in his skills.

The webtoon starts with Rai (Cadis Etrama Di Raizel) in an abandoned building located in South Korea. Rai had been in slumber for 820 years and was completely ignorant of the great advancements made by mankind and this modern era.

He goes to a school and reunites with his old servant, Frankenstein, who proves to be of great help. With his aid, he joined a school to become familiar with the day-to-day activities of men from his classmates and most importantly, to be hidden from the eyes of the union.

This great webtoon is about the adventures of Rai who was the protector of all the other nobles against the union and at last reveals the secret of why he was asleep for so long.
