I read a lot of genres but I feel like the isekai, regression, overpowered mc, villainess fantasy genres have become staples in manhwa, this website overflooded with a bunch of them - some bad, some meh. It's becoming harder to find super good ones.
Within these common genres, do you have any not as well known recs that took you for surprise - the execution done particularly well?
If you have any favourite non-mainstream manga/manhwa's to recommend, please type them down too ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
this one super underrated but super good! trust me!

Ya know how it's going, when something is good then it gets popular, so most popular ones, are also good/uniqe ones. When something is not popular then it's often just not cup of tea for most people or for example drawing style is not good, even through plot is nice. It's just that kind of mechanism and that's how it works. Of course, everyone may have some favorite not-so-famous manga/manhwa, but most likely this particular comic will appeal only to that person, but will not appeal to the rest of the population.
From less popular manga and manhwa, I particulary liked these:

Everytime a question like this pops up, I wonder what exactly counts as popular? Maybe when it's rated by less than 300 readers? Or where's the line?
@Yomix
That's the case for the allocation of low or high ratings but not really for the number of ratings because that also depends on how readers look for things to read and if people talk/write about the stories for others to notice/ if it's promoted by anyone. So I can't really agree with "good => popular" so I also don't think it can simply be reversed to "not so good => unpopular"
Anyway, these have less than or just around 300 ratings but I like both story & art in each. Only the webtoons in the last paragraph have a maybe not so mainstream drawing style- and they're less than half of my recs...

I’ve followed this since 2017 and I feel so empty now that jinwoo’s story is now complete. I feel like only just welcomed it back into my life and now it suddenly ended. However, I just want to thank the author for at least giving it an end (even though it was so rushed) because this started in 2016. That’s 8 years of dedication and happiness brought to readers like me who genuinely loved the characters. The fact the author came back from such a long hiatus, probably without the same hype as before or economic incentive has me grateful.
I wish I could see the characters more but maybe it’s time for the author to rest up. To one of the OG murim manhwas that was there from the start, I’ll miss u :((
