I'm a Martial Art Villainess but I'm the Strongest!
️️️️️ Action, Historical, Martial Arts, Isekai Love a strong, smart, female lead. Super unique storyline, especially since the genre and themes are popular. I really like the slow introduction to the FL and her love interest, they are both so cute.
Standard of Reincarnation
️️️️️ Action, Fantasy, Reincarnation, Supernatural Really recommend. Common themes and ideas, but does a great job of presenting them uniquely in the storyline.
Murim Login
️️️️️ Action, Game World, Comedy, Cultivation One of my top two of martial arts manga! I really love this. It’s original, has great main lead, who’s interesting, smart, comedic, calculating, and (getting) strong. It has great action scenes, awesome art, and is not boring or dragging. Can’t wait to see more!
Magic Emperor Webtoon
️️️️️ Action, Comedy, Historical, Another World, Martial Arts, Cultivation, Supernatural I really enjoyed this manga. Really interesting characters and storyline. The ML is very calculating and has a darker sense of comedy, although that does tend to change a little later in the story when he gets a new look. I mostly enjoyed this because of the ML personality and strength. It is also very long, so I would be aware of that.
Holy Chef, Crazy Empress
️️️️ Reincarnation, Romance, Royalty, Cooking Pretty good. Focuses more on the romance aspect than anything else. Not totally original as it does have a FL that is reincarnated into a historical world and uses her cooking skills and other world knowledge to get by. Although, I do think it does a good job of being interesting and has great character building and background. Lastly, a warning; this has very slow updates, it’s already been translated for six years, and it’s only on 300 chapters. So, you may have to reread this a couple of times if you tend to just come back after a chunk of time to binge.
Chronicles of Heavenly Demon
️️️️️ Action, Isekai, Martial Arts, Cultivation One of the first isekai manga I’ve read. Really good. Definitely a must read. The only thing is the updates are extremely slow, chapters come out two to three times a month, so it’s hard to keep track.
Feng Ni Tian Xia
️️️️ Historical, Romance, Action, Reincarnation I really enjoyed this. Super good if you like a strong female lead, who can fight, and is calculating with her actions. Although it does tend to be annoying because the translation is extremely slow and has taken years. As of Sept 2022 there are 273 chapters, and I’ve had to reread this fours times on three different platforms over the years just to remember what happened since the last translator stopped translating. Definitely a commitment. Maybe wait to read when it’s completed.
Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator
️️️ Action, Isekai, Cultivation, School Life Started off good, the first ~300 chapters are really good, super interesting, well paced. But after that I find it boring and it tends to drag at times. I would only read this if you are able to wait long periods for chapters and are able to stay on track without dropping it. As of Jan 2024 it has more than 900 chapters, and I’ve been reading it for years, so it’s definitely a commitment.
Apotheosis
️️️️️ Action, Isekai, Martial Arts, Adventure Really good. Very time consuming as it has 1000 plus chapters. Definitely a must read if you are able to finish it and have the time and willingness. The only warning I have is it does have harem and can be fast paced at times, although those didn’t bother me.
