20+ of the Best Webtoon That Manga/Manhua Readers Should Check

The journey on becoming a manga or manhua fanatic is an arduous one, and for some, it reasons, the deeper we delve into it, the more madness we had as we crave for more exciting stories to read. I know a lot of people in my anime circles who are fascinated by Japanese mangas, and Chinese manhuas; although some of them are familiar with Korean manhwas and webtoons, I still think that it needs more attention.

Best webtoons recommendation

In recent years, webtoons are growing in popularity and most of its fans are those readers who went outside of the comfort zone of simply reading Japanese mangas. While they’re similar in their core, I strongly believe that Korean webtoons have their flavor to offer to manga readers. Personally, I’ve only read a handful of them, but I could certainly feel that there’s something unique to the vibes and narratives of it which offers a different experience for the readers.

In line with this, I would like to share a list of the best webtoon out there as a recommendation to manga readers. Without further ado, Let’s start the list with the most phenomenal and probably, the most popular webtoon you could ever find out there – Solo Leveling.

Top 20 List of the Best Webtoon to Read
