10 Best Manhwa to Read
The Remarried Empress
Synopsis: Navier Ellie Trovi was an empress perfect in every way — intelligent, courageous, and socially adept. She was kind to her subjects and devoted to her husband. That is until her husband brought home a mistress and demanded a divorce. After many ups and downs, Navier decided she would accept being the Queen of the neighboring country and remarry.
Read Manhwa: Webtoons
Read Novel: FanTranslation
Remark: First of all, Navier is my favorite female main character. Now, let’s talk about the story. I like everything about this story, be it the Art, Characters, Plot, World settings, etc. All are done great but one complaint I have is in some places the story feels somewhat stretched. Besides this minor issue, The Remarried Empress is a good story to read.
Omniscient Reader
Synopsis: Dokja was an average office worker whose sole interest was reading his favorite web novel ‘Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse.’ But when the novel suddenly becomes reality, he is the only person who knows how the world will end. Armed with this realization, Dokja uses his understanding to change the course of the story, and the world, as he knows it.
Read Manhwa: Webtoons
Read Novel: Webnovel
Remark: Everything about this story is top-notch. Even if you felt the first fifteen chapters(novel) were not so interesting. Keep reading and I guarantee the story becomes great. Now talking about the webtoon, webtoons are adapted well from the novel. Overall, Webtoons and the web novel both are very solid in terms of world-building, characters, and art. Lastly, I want to say don’t think, because the Main character knows everything, he is overpowered. That’s not the case.

The Skeleton Soldier can’t protect his dungeon
Synopsis: His only purpose was to protect his master. And yet he was powerless to protect her. But fate has more in store for him as he gets another chance to protect his master once more and change his destiny.
Read Manhwa: TappyToon
Read Novel: Not Translated
Remark: This is a type of manhwa that gets interesting later on. Don’t judge based on the initial chapters, this man will get unique, mysterious, and shocking as you keep on reading. I love the main character’s growth and the way he overcomes hurdles.
*Fan Translation is way ahead of the official translation. But in terms of quality, Official translation is the best for reading.
Freaking Romance
Synopsis: This a sexy supernatural story about being out on your own, finding your dream apartment, and discovering that your new place is haunted by a handsome spectral stranger from another dimension. Sure, HE can’t see you and YOU can’t touch him, but who said every relationship starts out perfectly?
Read Manhwa: Webtoons
Read Novels: N/A
Remark: This webtoon grasps the attention of all the readers with its great art, and a great storyline, and every chapter is ended in such a way that it makes us curious as to what will happen in the next chapter. I would highly recommend you all to read this webtoon and I would assure you that you would not regret reading it.

Remark: A good story. There are mysteries in the novel like the short lives of the children of the emperor. The main character digs deep to try to solve the mysteries. Mysteries are mostly the focus of each chapter. The whole process of solving is very impactful and enjoyable. Definitely recommended even if you are not a mystery fan.
