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...

Hi guys! There was this comedy gag manga set in a high school classroom. It's not romance but has slice of life elements.
The story starts with the mc talking about how every person in the world has supernatural powers. The gag is how two girls in his classroom (the popular gals/gyarus) use their superrr overpowered abilities for really menial/nonsensical reasons (e.g. I don't want to do my homework, let's skip to a dimension where homework doesn't exist. *disappears then comes back immediately because the alternate dimension w/o homework is apocalyptic*).
Their powers are:
1. time travel 2. jump into alternate dimensions that result from various butterfly effects.
The punchline at the end is that the mc has the power to make his body glow, just the tiniest bit. It's funny because he's quite gloomy as a person. His power ends up allowing him to bond with the two girls, because it gives off the perfect lighting for pictures.
I remember really liking this story but because of the reading lists disappearing I still haven't been able to find this again. If you know the title, please tell!!!!
