While normally I wouldn't do this, Manwha and Manhua don't really have their own Media subforum, so I thought creating a catch all thread for these will be better.

So, my Personal Favorite Manwha in no real order are:

Solo Leveling

Rooftop Sword Master

God of Blackfield

The Great Mage Returns after 4000 years!

A Returners Magic Should Be Special

Poison Dragon: Legend of a Sura

Memorize

Second Coming of Gluttony

Nano Machine

Legend of the Northern Blade

Murim Login

Overgeared

Taming Master

Legend of the Moonlight Sculptor

The Invincible Swordsman

Mercenary Enrollment

How to Fight/Viral Hit

Just to name a few.

Now for Favorite Chinese Manhua:

World's Apocalypse Online

Martial Peak

Apotheosis

Demonic Emperor

and Feng Shen Ji.

They have their own general thread already, don't they? And they get their own threads too, like with Solo Leveling.

I can see a case being made for a general Manhua thread, but it seems like Korean webtoons would work fine as separate threads for separate works.

I like many Korean shoujo webtoon but they generally aren't popular enough to have their own discussion thread.

Korean Manwha is practically extinct, fully absorbed by webtoons, which have their own thread already.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

Also, I totally forgot that I was the one who launched that thread. [lol]

Oh. Huh. I think The Abandoned Empress is actually about to end, presumably after a flashback to the OG timeline. That feels very sudden. I don't think Jieun has had nearly enough screen time for an ending to really come now even if she gets time in the flashback. Because that isn't who she is or what she wants now, only what happened to her.

Been reading Cultivator vs Superhero Society.

The MC is OP, but he outright states he's not the stories protagonist as much as he's main mentor, because his story has already finished for the most part.

Plus, the idea of a Daoist Cultivator fighting a Society of Superheroes is entertaining as hell.

66 Chapters right now.

So i been reading Indrid, the White Deer. Both MC and ML are kinda awful people who get better overtime. MC is manipulative and use her reputation as a pure, innocent girl to forced to ML into marrying her in order to escape her arrange marriage. She does try to be a dutiful wife to compensate for the ML. ML, on the other hand, is a playboy who has a grudge with the MC family and hated the idea of been force into marrying the MC. He even purposefully invited the MC first crush to their wedding as payback (he then realize it was a horrible thing to do and it end up helping the MC say goodbye one last time with her first love). In the end ML go through rehab for his drug addiction and alcoholism to be with the MC.

Generally, if there's two threads for a topic the one that gets created first is the one that's kept around. In this case, though, the previous thread has been dead for so long that I don't have a problem with closing it and letting this one take over. Does anyone have a strong preference for this thread or the other?

Arha Since: Jan, 2010
#21: Dec 30th 2023 at 6:36:31 PM

The only distinction between the two that I can really see is that the title of this one is broader and includes both Korean and Chinese comics, which might encourage more usage. But I don't know if either will see any real usage or not because I don't know if the tvtropes forum community really does much with either while also choosing not to just go to the general isekai thread.

Updated my likes, mostly for Chinese Manhua though. Its on the r/manhua subreddit too.

Good read to kill time (IE not the best, but still fun):

Peerless Battle Spirit

Banished Disciples Counterattack

God of Martial Arts

Martial Arts Reigns

Strongest God King

Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator (This one would be in Genuinely good tier if the art wasn't so shitty)

Star Martial God Technique

Martial Inverse

Genuinely good stories:

Ultimate Scheming System

Super Gold System

Cheating Men Must die

Poison Dragon: Legend of Asura

Return of the Crazed Heir

Heavenly Demon Instructor

After 10 years of Chopping wood, Immortals want to be my Disciples

All of my Disciples are Big Villains

Battle Through The Heavens

Wu Dong Quian Kun

The Great Ruler

Return of the Crazy Demon

Apotheosis

Versatile Mage

Your Talent is Mine

Logging in 10000 years into the future

Amazing stories (Really hard to order these, but I can try)

11. Martial Peak: If the art was better due to not updating literally every single day, I'd rank it much higher, as its basically a tried and true cultivation story done well otherwise.

10. Tales of Demons and Gods: Would be higher if the art for the Manhua wasn't blatantly similar to Naruto at times, Nie Lie is basically a brunette Naruto/ Minato, lol.

9. Yuan Zun: My favorite of I eat Tomatoes' work if only due to Bart DJ's godlike artwork.

8. 3000 years to the sky: Its a classic for a reason, and the art for the Manhua is gorgeous.

7. Magic Emperor: I love the protagonist especially, but I do feel like the Demonic aspect of him ends up falling short later on.

6. Nano Machine: Probably my 3rd favorite Murim story, if only for how amazing the protagonist is.

5. Invincible at the Start: Its starts off slow, and I now the second half o the story so far is very Manhua original, but I love the direction it takes, and the protag is badass.

4. Me, the Heavenly Destined Villain: Amazing MC, and I love how it occasionally satirizes some other stories, like how one of the first reincarnations he fights feels like a blatant discounted clone of Zhuo Fan from Magic Emperor, but I love it all the same, though I do wish that the MC was actually challenged a bit for once.

3. Cultivator against Hero Society: Probably one of my favorites in terms of just comedy in how hilariously OP the protag is compared to the Super Heroes in a very obviously One Punch Man inspired parody, as the author has a Saitama figure in one of his end of chapter pictures, and its just a fun read all around even if the art isn't the greatest.

2. Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivating for a thousand years: I love how chill the protag is, and its just a fun read of a guy who wants to live a long life.

1. The Eternal Supreme/ Ultimate of All ages/ Ancient Sovereign of eternity (Thats a lot of translated names, lol): Probably my favorite straight reincarnation story, amazing art, some great humor, and a fun protagonist. Also has some of the sexiest women in any manhua I've read, IMO.

GOAT:

5. World's Apocalypse Online: My Favorite overall Isekai and Regressor Cultivation story, helped by its great art.

4. Return of the Mount Hua Sect: My 2nd Favorite Murim story, the MC is great with some of the most hilariously memeable faces of any Murim MC, he's smart and scheming, and manages to truly help his sect out and reclaim its old glory.

3. Legend of the Northern Blade: Easily my favorite Murim story, one of my favorite Korean Manhwa and has some of the best art of any Korean Manhwa as well. Supposedly Fist Demon of Mount Hua takes place in the same Murim, but I didn't care for it that much.

2. Evolution from a Tree: This one popped up on my radar very recently, but It's probably the closest I think a Chinese author had done to replicating what made Reincarnated as a Slime so successful and good, and it does so brilliantly.

1. I am an Evil God: Starts off weak in art, but quickly becomes better and better with every Arc, the MC is easily my favorite for how much depth he gets in his system functions and abilities and how he effects each world he goes to, The female characters are varied and amazing not just the usual cookie cutouts found in some of the more trashy Manhua's, all with their own agency and most of them even start off as far stronger then the MC and stay that way for quite a while. And I have to say again, the Art of the series starts off rather plain, but as of the most Recent arcs, it may honestly be one of the most beautiful webcomics I've ever read, and one of the most beautiful comics I've ever read period, especially during the fights from the Buddhist arc onwards.

I prefer some of the manhua that one of the artists' who works on Big Tree has done over it. The Game I Came From and Demonic Evolution in particular I really really enjoy the art of.

I'll second that the Ultimate of All Time is a great manhua to read.

Of the murim manwha I'm reading (and there is a lot) I think I honestly like Reaper of the Drifting Moon the best with Murim Login and The Terminally Ill Young Master of the Baek Clan being the second as more unconventional (read isekai'd) murim stories.

I kinda read everything though so I don't have a cohesive list of general manwha recommends other than the one anyone with a pulse is gonna tell someone to read, which is SSS Class Suicide Hunter.

When I say I am An Evil God is pretty as hell, I mean it, especially during big end arc battles that Xie Yan, the Protag, gets into:

SSS Class Suicide hunter is fun, but its not soley a cultivation story aside from some Murim worlds.
