THE BEST MANHWA EVER 🔝 | EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS 🤩
Popular titles like Solo Leveling aren't typically considered post-apocalyptic, but they do highlight some elements of the genre. Solo Leveling is the best manhwa for new fans of the popular genre. That said, here are a few other notable apocalyptic manhwa worth checking out.
The popular Korean post-apocalyptic manhwa written by Lee Gyuntak is one of the best in the genre today. It has everything a good manhwa needs: solid characters, an exciting story, and a unique art style. The story takes place a century ago after a giant comet wipes out human civilization. It completely destroys the cities and continents where humans used to live, causing them to sink into the sea, leaving the last few survivors to wander the oceans in search of a new home. The story revolves around siblings Bota and Rita after their father sacrifices his life to save them from a sea monster.
Like Solo Leveling, Tomb Raider King is not considered an apocalyptic manhwa by many. However, the manhwa does feature many apocalyptic scenarios towards the end, which earns it a spot on the list. The manhwa follows Seo Joo-Heon, who excels in tomb raiding. He and his team raided dungeons and brought glory to their employer, Kwon Tae-Joon. Due to his remarkable work and skills, he and his team are deceived by CEO Kwon, who guarantees their death. After being given a second chance by a powerful relic, he returns to the past to collect all the relics. Armed with all the knowledge and skills from his previous life, he sets out to take revenge and conquer the world.
