• Chapters: 87+
• STATUS: Ongoing

This series is not your typical OP MC manhwa. The Live is one of the most graphically violent manhwas that exist on this list. This manhwa truly describes a man’s mental state who is going through insane grief. The plot is very dark and filled with death games. If you are a person who loves to watch graphic violence at its max this might keep you hooked. Beautifully drawn art is also a positive point for this series.

24. Unholy Blood

• Author: Lina Im
• Chapters: 92
• Status: Completed

Unholy Blood is one of the most underrated manhwa on this list. This manhwa ended a long time ago but still has an ongoing effect on its fans. The plot is good and also the characters are drawn very beautifully. I loved it from the very beginning till its end in the 92nd chapter. The plot never slows down and ongoing events will keep you gasping.

10 years ago the world changed when people who could turn into vampires started appearing from nowhere.

These morphing vampires live among the masses and they slaughter humans to satisfy their bloodlust. It is said that one in every 10,000 is a vampire.

An officer whose goal is to free the world from vampires and a girl who wants to live a life free from hatred. What will happen when these two people meet each other?

23. Murim Login

Murim Login is a very unique series that doesn’t overdo the powerful protagonist stereotype while bringing a combination of both cultivation and leveling stories. It has distinctive designs and a main character who is very relatable. Additionally, it also features a great side cast and an immaculate story which makes both the Murim and real-world equally interesting.

Jin-Tae Kyung is a weak hunter who struggles to make a living in a time when people with supernatural powers battle monsters.

After accidentally going into a VR game, however, his entire life changes as he finds out that he can train and raise his powers through this new setting.

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, as the Murim world inside the game also features formidable figures that don’t allow Tae Kyung to easily level up.

The series makes use of its popular cast and unique art style to deliver dynamic fights while letting us experience various settings.

Despite being extremely strong, Kim Yuwon and his allies fail to defeat their celestial opponents that threaten the entire world.

At the brink of defeat, they decide to send Yuwon back in time to gain more strength and try again to fight their enemies.
