Japan has Isekai, Korea has Regression and Dungeons, and China has Cultivation, and all three of them have Systems and Trashy Harems.
My favorite slop to read xD
Regression Manwha typically aren't that bad in the Harem department purely because as the MC regresses he already has one girl he loves and tries to be with/protect again.
@@Rob.N.Yeah, regression kinda trying to do the apposite of isekai. having a chad instead of introvert loser, having alpha female instead of cutesy moe girl and having specific love interest instead of full blow harem. Maybe korea love power fantasy trash in isekai but hate the loser aspect of it.
Chinese cultivation stories make my brain hurt more and more everytime I read them. Isekai and regression at the very least have alot of good series, cultivation on the other hand follow the same story beat, the same MC, the same events over and over again and span it sometime to over 1000 chapters. The other genre in Chinese stories are fun though.
@@Mutualititve There is only one cultivation(Manwha/Manhua?) that I've read that I actually enjoyed thoroughly and that is Apotheosis. Too bad it developed a harem and I had to drop it. I absolutely DESPISE harems. Bud has THREE WIVES 🤬!!! Luozheng I miss you so much, but you couldn't just say no!! You already had a wife and kid. *Sigh* it's been years since I've dropped it, still miss it from time to time.
Greatest Estate Designer fans where y’all at.
Side note: omniscient reader is the holds the reigning crown for me. I was reading the light novel from before it finished and my god. That ending….
HEHEHEHEHE
Lloyd = water
Water = good
Lloyd = good
41% - 59%
What about the ending?? I heard it was an open ending and I usually dislike those but I heard it wasn't dissatisfying??
@@empressryuumi its because its already have sequel manhwa that take place 5 thousand years from the ending from what i remember?
edit: i dont know if it counts as a sequel but yeah there is a manhwa out there that takes place in the same universe and the mc is a descendant of loyd
The Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint's novel is about one of the best pieces of fiction i've ever read, and probably ever will.
fr
Bro read lord of the mysteries it’s way better imo
@@Noredia_Yuki as a reader of both, I find them both good, completely different stories with different themes but both mcs are beloved.
real
One Piece>>>
Orv is one of The Holy Trinity of novels, it's beloved for a reason, it starts off as a dystopian power up but as the story progresses you get to see a more complicated narrative and the mystery of what is to come. One of these mysteries being who is the author of the novel that Kim Dokja has read throughout most of his life and that now has become his reality. And in his journey to the end of the story will he find what he was looking for? Will he make it to the end with his companions? Will he finally get to see his beloved regressor find happiness?
It's a story made for just that one reader.
What are the other 2?
@@NotTelling-cx5mo Trash of the Count's Family and The S-Classes that I Raised
@@aiihanatsuki4624 i highly doubt those 2 are part of the trinity
Omniscient reader's viewpoint, trash of the count's family, the s-classes i raised is the holy trinity aka the suicidal trinity@@NotTelling-cx5mo
Have y’all read lord of mysteries?
Here’s something to sell ya’ll.
ORV is about elaborating on the relationships between the readers, the story, and the author.
Its beyond the “trash”, a theme starts to form and a question began to be presented
For the people or the stories that you care about, what are you willing to do for them?
Stats becomes almost irrelevant as the new power system takes place. That being: Each of their experiences. Each new story builds up on their strength as a whole, and makes them all stronger. In the end, its not about just surviving anymore, but changing the impossible itself, by using all of what we experienced as proof that its possible.
Finally, the final trick of the story is that it blurs the 4th wall and YOU become a part of the universe itself.
Give it a shot, if ya’ll haven’t yet. Check the novel out too, its great and already finished.
we all start with anime, then its manga,manhwa,manhua then its light novels and finally web novels.
Don't forget dating Sims
I like how it goes backwards.
I think it stems from impatience of waiting for the next episode/chapter.
@@RobGradyVOvisual novels*
I actually kinda went backwards, I started in manga, then went to web novels, then light novels and now in mahwa and manhua.
Dude you litterally described my last 8 years.
ORV is like the hidden boss of the manhwa world.
You'll think you've seen the final boss (Solo Leveleing) until you meet ORV and realise just how foolish you've been.
If you rate Solo Leveling a 6/10 then ORV is like a 11/10. Leagues above. And that's just a fact.
You may think me crazy and a dickrider, but time will pass and you'll understand
If you like ORV try the Lord of the Mysteries novel series. While I don’t think the writing level is on the same page emotionally, the world building is a master class and the protagonist is really fun to follower well.

@@faizmumtazramadhan that’s just unnecessarily depressing to drop
@@mattrimcauthon4441 Totally agree with the Lord of the Mysteries recommendation ! Hyped for the animation announcement, althought it'll take years before its made available T-T
I also read both ORV and LotM and personally, I prefer LotM a lot more than ORV.
And for Korean webnovels, I prefer SSS-class Suicide Hunter over ORV. But ORV is still one of the better LNs that I've read.
Aside from LotM, I would recommend Mother of Learning or Wandering Inn. Both are really solid web novels.
Manwha with godly art and good stories:
1. Fantasie of a Stepmother (or Stepmother's Marchen)
2. Secret Lady
3. Mother's contract Marriage
Novels with really good stories:
1. Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
2. Lord of the Mysteries
3. SSS Class Suicide Hunter
You have a very good taste in stories!!
I only heard about LOTM, it's been on my radar.
add the greatest estate developer for the best comedy
@@DynamicShantanu50Lotm is only a WebNovel for now, unfortunately. Since the maker for the manhua literally took it without permission. Thankfully there’s an anime (donghua) coming summer 2025.
now this is actually an accurate list, Latna Saga also has great story
Omniscient reader viewpoint! I love that series so much it’s such a beautiful story. You should read it I truly recommend it. One of the best things I ever read
can vouch for it, definitely very well written and deserves all that it gets
What wasn't mentioned in Gigguk's sumary is that TWA isn't just a trashy novel but it's hell bent on tragedy. KDJ's goal is to reach the ending of the story but sparing the MC the 3k+ chapters of hell he has to go through to survive. Because, on top of the story being overall sad, the final chapter is just a promise to whoever has read up to that point that they are able to survive.
I read the webnovel, the ending is so insanely good omldhisuwgwwuquga
Probably the best novel and one of the best story I have ever read
absolutely. ive loved this series since i first discovered it in highschool 3 years ago, its helped me through a lot. probably my personal favorite work of fiction.
The Fantasy of a Stepmother is a GOAT shoujo story tho.
aka A Stepmother's Marchen. It is a legitimate contender for one of the best composed series I've read. The characters are interwoven and their impact and view on the setting shifts rapidly with the events she alters. It's more character-driven than most. The official printed releases are quite good too, reframed into manga panels instead of a webtoon.
The female-oriented series of the regression genre are being too easily dismissed, by trying to laugh these off on the whole. Besides Stepmother's Marchen, the three are really missing out on some great revenge-thrillers, which are better than the male-led power fantasies in the genre.
I will die on that hill that is A Stepmother's Marchen. I cried re reading it everytime.
@ryllharu oooooooh man I hate the inconsistent tittles
Haven't read this but so far, i think the best one I've read so far is
I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter
10/10 comedy, drama, art
Isekai is a genre , it doesn't make or break a series it's all about The writing
For example I've been reading the greatest estate developer manhwa and not only is it one of the best Isekai I ever read but one of the best series I've read in a while
It's just oversaturated. So chances are if you're picking them at complete random, it's not gonna be good
@@Ash_Wen-li if you pick any show to watch at complete random you probably won't like it. I'm honestly not sure what your point is here.
Isekai oversaturating anime means the chances are even greater. I'd much rather the industry focus resources on quality than pumping out a large amount of cheap shows for easy profits. But obviously it's not that simple
cool rec ima check it out
@@Ash_Wen-li I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Many of the first isekai weren't excatly the apex of the genre, and even uf you have 5 or 6 options to pick at random, if all are mediocre, there's a 100% what you watch will be mediocre.
Omniscient reader's viewpoint has great story and characters. I love the relationship between the main character and the main character of the story he was reading
My favorite manhua is "I'm really not the demon God's lackey" it's about an ordinary bookshop keeper who was Isekaid into another world with eldritch degrees of magic. He doesn't know about this, and the books that he sells are scriptures of cosmic rituals in the reader's eyes. His presence terrifies any person that approaches his shop, and through a series of misunderstandings, he "allegedly" manipulates the entire underground. He still doesn't know anything, and i like it because it contains Lovecraftian levels of comedic Horror
Mr. Lin supremacy!
Mr. Lin FTW 😂😂
As someone who's read the webnovel further than where the comic is at... there a shitload more than that and imo it kind of goes to shit eventually.
It is really fun to read
Best misunderstanding plot out there
For those who haven't read Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, I would highly recommend reading it. IMO it's better than Solo Leveling.
i agree that it's probably better than solo leveling, but i disagree with a couple of the minor decisions made when adapting from the novels and i generally prefer the novels to the adaptation after reading and keeping up with both, i would recommend anyone interested in it to read the novels rather than the adaptation
Solo leveling isn't really a high bar tbh lol
all solo lvling had going for it was the awesome art. the story was realy meh and the ending was so trash.
solo leveling is mid
@@dfallen4ngelIt's peak mid
I think one of the big points of interest for ORV that Garnt misses in his explanation, is that Dokja is fairly confident that he only exists in the current timeline, which is the 3rd timeline in the original story.
We don’t know what happens to a world after the “protagonist” regresses, it could be erased, or it could continue on without the strongest human, regardless he’s fucked if the original hero dies.
However, we do know that Dokja probably won’t exist in other timelines since the first and second weren’t changed from the novel.
The fact that it’s the 3rd timeline is then a big deal, because in regression stories the 1st regression is typically either confusing or doesn’t let the hero know if it’s a 1 time use, but the 2nd regression teaches the hero that they can keep doing this, that they can afford to die.
So Dokja is using his understanding of the characters and the story not just to get close to people, get cool loot, and build a strong team. He has to do this while making sure the regressor never feels like he’s be better off trying again, even though this is coming off the back of a particularly depressing 2nd timeline.
It’s real good stuff.
Solo levelling is considered good because it was a lot of western audiences first experience with a story that actually utilizes the “gamer” aspects of the story and keeps it “gamer” throughout the vast majority of it. In a way it’s the first portion of sword art online but it stays that way. The levelling up and stats and being a class and all that stuff is integrated into the story the entire way through more or less even if the power scaling gets insane (much like it would in a game).
It’s definitely not groundbreaking in a sense that it should be critically acclaimed or anything but it does what I described very well and if that clicks with the reader then they’ll enjoy it quite a bit.
I went in knowing it was gonna mostly be action driven, like you said nothing groundbreaking but I thought the action was good, it’s no Jujutsu Kaisen but I didnt think it needed to be, especially for a season one of a show based on Korean source material, I feel like Japanese companies would be less willing to take a risk on solo leveling vs something like JJK or Frieren
@@dirtydirtyshisno7284 the manhua is also pretty slow to pick up as well so I’m hoping the show gets better over time. It’s a fun story for sure though.
It's so sad it got all the traction when Shangri-la Frontier aired at the same season and absolutely dwarfed SL in all possible levels except the OST.
It's not just the west, it's just manhwa in general. It's one of the first (not the first) to popularize the combination of dungeon/hunter + system trope. When I first read it, I also didnt get why people rate, but after a while, it grew on me. Solo leveling manhwa just knows how to hype the readers. They really know their target audience.
@@Xynic48 I wasn’t sure if that was the case so I didn’t want to claim as much, I just knew it was the first big one over here.
The Villainess Turns the Hourglass is genuinely good. It's not very action heavy, just the protag being smart and using her wits to survive in noble society. And the art is great.
YES!
I would really recommend Return of the Blossoming Blade, the story of a sword saint from the Mount Hua Sect that reincarnates into the future, but encounters that the sect has fallen to ruin, so he decides to restore it as a disciple. Really comedic, beautiful art and goofy faces. I also feel that it has a bit of an old school manga vibe.
On the total opposite side, A Man's Man is also great, but maybe more difficult to read for some. It's mainly about company politics, and has a lot of themes of technology, since all the story that i've read so far happens in the equivalent of Samsung of its world.
YES!! all time fac
Omg was waiting for someone to speak on Return of the Blossoming Blade!! Urghhh I can’t get enough of the story and the characters are so hilariously funny with their dynamic especially Cheong Myung. I’m still hoping we’ll get some type of animation for this manwha, and not a drama series, like the unfortunate ORV (but I guess we’ll have to see how the live action turns out)
YESSS
These are really good:
1. Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
2. SSS Class Suicide Hunter
3. The Beginning After the End
GREAT TASTE
IMO SSS Class gets really boring later on. The Beginning After the End's Manhwa is literally stuck at an interesting part, and the Novel isn't that great IMO.
Omniscient is literally perfect from start to finish.
@ShanChardayo I don't think SSS Class Suicide Hunter gets boring at all, I'm interested in why you think it does. As for TBATE, the story is progressing just at a slower pace. It also already has plenty of chapters, so it wouldn't be a problem for a new reader.
Fantasies of a Stepmother is not like a manga at all lol. The term is fantasies but it’s more of memories from her regression. What separates it from other bad regression stoies is she gains ptsd from her death after her regression. Art is FRENCH KISS. It’s so so beautiful to look at.
If Garnt is down for reading chinese light novels, there are really some bangers out there. My fav one of them is Lord of mysteries, which is also getting an anime/donghua adaptation in 2025. It's an Isekai with mystery (Duh.) and a little bit of horror mixed into it, plus the world building is just chef's kiss with a damn good story and a unique power system. The MC doesn't get op in like 0.5 chapters of reading so that's a plus point too. To those who are tired of unnecessary romance in the story, the story does not even have a speck of romance.
Well, I can't further explain the story without dwelving into spoiler territory so if you are interested from my description, please go and do check out the novel. The first book is completed with 1300+ chapters and the second book is ongoing I think at around 600+ chapters as of right now.
Edit: Correction, it's nearing 800.

Indeed, Lord of the Mysteries, Release that Witch, and Guardians of Dafeng are actually really outstanding to the point that made me interested in Chinese novels. I'd say they're a notch above Korea and Japan when it comes to light novel genre (in terms of narratives, the use of languages, and creativity).
Chinese novels absolutely slaps, Tian Guan Ci Fu character and backstory is insane even if it does have romance that i skipped some parts, but the world building and philosophy is just peak. But i have to say donghua adaptation usually fails its novel counterpart.
Link Clink donghua is also really good, no romance just mystery.
@@ainocj173 Yooo Tian Guan Ci Fu gang! It's been a long ass time since I've heard of it, thanks for reminding me of that masterpiece. It is one of the select few that handles romance well in the story. Well, gtg and re-read it now.
@@polawattantiransee3410 Preach!
How to Use a Returner ( Regressors Instruction Manual) the one in the thumbnail is a goated series, dont quite like the manhwa art but the novel is on another level, especially the mc and his antics
Fr, one of my favorite web novels
Yeah, really good.
GOATED
"Father, I don't want this Marriage" is actually really good. It had parts in which I just couldn't stop laughing. But I would call that more of a shojo genre. While Japanese Manga are quite text heavy (the medium is focused on books) - Korean manhwa is more on the (colorful) visual side of things (because they are meant to be read online). And in both you see a different culture.
I just finished reading it!! The Dad is basically the second ML (but not the love interest 😂)
ORV is such a heartfelt story. It’s one of those series that nests itself deep into your heart and makes you enjoy stories and fiction like you’ve just discovered it for the first time
I really recommend reading ORV, especially if you are a reader and a fan of a media. The webnovel is truly amazing as well since it is a personal love letter for a reader after all.
The only thing Garnt forgot to explain was that the "Protagonist" that Kim Dokja meets is the regressor, meaning there is a lot more things he would have to be worried about
Garnt's video's make you think he's hopping from one trash can to another but in reality he is expanding his trash-topia, can't wait for him to bring more into the GU(Garbage Union).
now i know why he like star rail so much, he's literally just the trailblazer.
7:03 This is definitely a squid-like story....
If you know you know.
kim dokja is "just like me fr" fr .. if you know you know...
oh I know
Crazy squids
😂
I do indeed know.
Another thing I appreciate about Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is that its essentially a love story about stories. Some of the quotes about reading in the light novel are incredible, I even used one during a job interview once.
I've finally figured out a way to explain Omniscient Reader Viewpoint for people curious, taken me ages to put it into words. It's not a perfect summary, but this is just what I think of it.
There's no romance, it's got plenty of action in it as it's a death game style, but it focuses very heavily on maintaining the bonds the mc has with people, but also how he makes himself and others suffer by constantly risking his life so everyone can survive and reach a happy ending, but he can't stop, because there's no way for even a single person to be happy without sacrifice, so he'll always choose himself.
It can be hard to notice it as it's rarely super obvious. People aren't bawling their eyes out all the time, it's mostly internally psychological pain, but after reading so much of it, I think they portrayed it really well.
The webtoon hasn't gotten far enough to truly show this yet imo, but in the webnovel, and still some parts of the webtoon, you can notice it.
*Also, genuinely, I think it has the most emotional ending out of any story I've ever watched or read.*
imo, people should read the webnovel first, then if they find it too boring, do webtoon and then come back to it, or do webtoon first and then do webnovel to catch up on what webtoon doesn't have yet.
OMNISCIENT READERS VIEWPOINT MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥
garnt just like me fr
regression manhwas have me in a chokehold since 2022 i can’t get enough of them 🙏🙏
Omniscient Reader is easily my favorite piece of written media. It made me think about a person’s relationship to stories, and made me realize how wildly important that relationship is. It started out as good fun, and ended as a something I genuinely felt lucky to experience
Hey, the west has isekai too! You know, stuff like A Princess of Mars... written in 1912. It hits a lot of the isekai tropes: another world, OP MC, princess falls in love etc.
0:08 Glorious hidden gem called SSS Class Suicide Hunter
Lord of the Mysteries will absolutely blow these guys minds.
can't wait to see their reaction :D
Garnt is on his way to find the cultivation trash rabbit hole
Webtoon from the thumbnail is "Regressors instruction manual"
Korea's ORV and China's LOTM (Lord of The Mysteries) and Japan's AOT are my big three. All 3 have protagonists who start off unassuming and often get overshadowed by side characters early on but they all eventually become the coldest or most link in the story.
pretty sure Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint was announced to get an anime
Just wait till garnt finds out about the fact that people ship Kim Dokja and Sung Jinwo 💀
ORV is Peak manhwa such a good series both novel and comic, also fantasie of a step mother is actually an incredible read lol the writing, character development is done so well
ORV MENTIONED!!!!!!! i f-ing love that series it's so good. i would recommend this to everybody i know and their grandmother.
You guys should read "My Life as a Loser". It's a reversion, where a former bully reverts into his childhood victims body.
"Dice" it's a good death game/power nightmare.
There’s definitely lots of bad regression manhwa but also very good ones with bad tiles. If you can overlook that and read the summary of the plot and read at least 3-6 chapters you can pretty much determine the layout of the entire series.
Ironically FFF Class Trash Hero is actually good. So if Joey is actually interested, that manhwa would be a great start. It's essentially the manhwa version of Konosuba. It's mainly parodying the Isekai regression genre and also the shitty "revenge" isekai manga like redo of healer without the softcore porn shit.
Ovr has so much lovable characters, can’t wait to sit down and watch the anime with friends! actual peak.
Regressor's Instruction Manual mentioned on thumbnail!!!!!!!!!
The thing about ORV is that what you're seeing right now in the webtoon is just the tip of the ice berg. Later on, everything will be much more philosophical in a sense that you'd think the action is just a front.
Only OG's remember 'The Gamer'
Japan - Isekai (go to a different world, usually fantasy-esque, MC is often nerdy or an outsider in their original world, but those nerdy skills make them overpowered in the new world, and they usually end up with a harem)
Korea - Regression (go back to one's past with future memories/experiences/skills, MC's main purpose is to fix their past mistakes and triumph over their antagonists)
China - Transmigration (go into the world of a book, specifically one that the MC has read beforehand, and usually becomes a side character (that dies early in the book), an underdog character (that is suffering from abuse), or a villain (who will die by the book protagonist's hands in the future), MC's main goal is to change their circumstances to something better and not suffer/die)
All 3 countries have stories in all 3 "genres," but if you're asking what's the hallmark of each country, then I think this is the list.
Classic Isekai MCs usually start off wimpy and become strong.
Classic Regression MCs are usually smart and resourceful.
Classic Transmigration MCs are a mixed bag, some use their knowledge of the book to their advantage, while some still mess things up but it ends up being okay because they somehow changed the genre of the book with their actions (usually just by being nice(r) to the protagonist of the book).
Garnt explaining this to them is like me trying to explain anime to my parents
yow FFF CLass Hero is goated, every genre possible compressed to one. I reminded me of a eminence shadow
There is going to be a Korean film based on omniscient reader with all famous actors
supposedly an anime as well. allegedly ufotable is attached (will find a source later)
As a person who has dedicated too much time into reading all sorts of action manga/manhwa/manhua, I am so happy that someone is talking about these genres. The quest for these types of comics has actually led me to discover many mainstream mangas before they became mainstream (for example: JJK, Spy x Family, and the ones on the rise in the future: Sakamoto Days, Kagurabachi).
Want something that combines all three big genres?
A Regressor's Tale of Cultivation has Isekai, Regression, AND cultivation, all executed extremely well.
This story details the life of a man who isekai'ed to another world with his colleagues. While all his colleagues have seemingly insane talent, having reached high cultivation and martial arts, he alone had to work hard making soap just to live....
He felt indignant, dying at mere age of 50, asking the heavens why he was blessed with nothing.
That was, until he regressed back to when they just isekai'ed.
From then on, it becomes a slow burn of one of the greatest novels I've read in my life.
Grant never left isekai....... He just switched into a different addiction with the same quality as any isekai....... 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Ngl I was waiting for him to mention orv. Especially when he mentioned regression in webtoons. I actually read more webtoons than manga now. And some of the artists put just as much, if not more effort into their webtoons. They update more consistently too.
I can't believe Doom Breaker (Reincarnation of the Unalive Battle God) is 21 on that list. It may be a regression power fantasy, but the art is so good and is one off the only manwha I know that is not previously based on a light novel. Just seems underrated.
ORV MENTIONED 🥰 it needs an anime PLEASE it’s so good ❤
I know we're talking about manhwas but orv and lord of the mysteries novels are so fucking good (and lout of count's family is great too but I just finished the first book so I think its bias to praise it HAHAGDHAGSD)
ORV has great characters and systems in play, of course there's dokja (i'll never get over the word play of his name) and how he actually handles all the scenarios thrown to him by the star stream and the constellations. It's scary to touch it at first since there is so much to actually 'learn' but the authors made a great job incorporating the needed information without info dumping (but I had to look up some mythos and historical names since I wasn't that well aware of some constellations and scenarios like the hwarangs and the korean peninsula constellations)
I think i'm somewhat a nerd or geek since I really liked the historical aspects they incorporated with the system. The greek gods, fucking buddha, there were movies on the theatre level, and more! If you're a wide reader or even a huge consumer of media then you'll definitely enjoy ORV.

The plot twists will fuck you up, I involuntary cried when it was revealed and was so frustrated that I almost threw my phone BUT it made sense since it was about why the regression of the protagonist even started on the first place. Another thing about this is it covers almost every plothole and the authors' answer to that are crazy. (Lemme just leave these terms 51/49, 999, and of course LHK)
This one isnt a regression genre manhwa, but is still pretty cool. It's called "Dungeon Odyssey".
You should give a synopsis as well when doing a comment like that. I got you tho. Imagine it's like magi but instead of towers, caves with dungeons with different depth levels arose all over the world. Mc a kid that was born in a very deep level somehow got ownership of one of those said dungeons. He levels his dungeon up like a you do in a tower defense game. It's a pretty different take to thewhole saturated dungeon/tower/level genre, it leans more into the game aspect. I think the art is very cute.
@@Bratanity Thanks. I'm not good at giving summaries without either rambling on or just not making sense. 😅
Killer Peter is goated. It’s like semi regression. Instead of traveling back in time, the protagonist gets de-aged from 60 to his youth and cured from his cancer while retaining all of his combat experience and abilities
Its not a semi regression, it's more of an age regression thing
Petition to get Garnt to start reading Villainess regression manhwa XD
This is why Omniscient readers viewpoints, Greatest estate designer and trash of the count's family is my favorite of all time... And also legend of the northern blade too.
I just wanna recommend this novel “I The Dragon Overlord” that I found which I think deserves some attention. Really enjoyed how grounded but still has that fantastic fantasy feeling that most these novels are lacking in nowadays.
Man ORV also almost instantly became my favourite series. The thing is Gigguk doesn't even know 1/3 of it yet it's already so good that you'd recommend it. FYI the rest of it is even better than what he has read up to. Problem with the series is it's hard to describe correctly without spoiling the best bits, and it's so meta that explanations make it sound ridiculous.
Swordmaster's Youngest Son I also find really good for a regression story. He knows the ins and outs of his family bit but his "first life" portion was not nearly as fleshed out as some of these others. The character dynamics, fights, and worldbuilding are all fantastic
its really fascinating to learn the history about how japan influencing the entire world of entertainment culture, but also how korean and chinese have their own take and genre that influenced not only by japan in style but also their own culture and the technological progress of internet and mobile device
the only regression anime that i can remember is Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi, wish they make more
The excitement Garnt shows when the title refers to a family member...
Omniscient Reader anime was announced at Anime Expo 2024.
I watched a video where dude regressed and because he knew of the coming catastrophe AND had an unlimited ITEM BOX ability, he was able to be the only one with tools and food when the deep freeze finally hit (again, for him). I didn't realize it was part of an entire genre. My inability to follow a story from right to left has locked me out of so many good stories. I just can't do it. So I wait for the anime.
i read like 100 chap of orv and i was so good, but i stopped because i didnt want to read it weekly. im only going to read it when it finishes (which is like 6 years from now) but honestly what i read was so good that im willing to wait that long
If somebody wants to check out an actually good webtoon: The Boxer is great. Not reincarnation trash, good art, occasional music. No pandering, straightforward and simple story, with complex characters.
ORV's synopsis truly does not do the story justice. I wouldn't have read it if I wasn't so desperate for any brain stimulation, but I'm so glad I did.
my most favorite recent find is 'Suupaa no Ura de Yani Suu Hanashi' or 'A Story About Smoking At The Back Of The Supermarket'. Kinda chill.
The thing the regression stories do well is angst. The feeling of deep loss, the consequences of turning back time, and the guilt from changing the lives of others. If you like Angst, these stories are awesome.
So yeah, a lot of them are aimed at teenage/ya girls
I really hope garnt actually ends up reading fantasie of a stepmother, it's genuinely a good series and the artstyle is just god tier
I went from anime, manga, manhwa, manhua, JP light novels, CN webnovels, and finally KR webnovels
I couldnt wait for fantls so rn im in the MTL webnovels phase lol
My tastes have gone from shojo, shonen, isekai, villaness, cultivation/system/infinite horror/space ABO, idol, regression, and finally BL with any mix of these
Im dipping my toes into cosmic horror KR webnovels, and im having a blast 😄 thank god ridibooks exists 🙏
Omniscient reader was amazing, not quite in my manga/anime phase rn but I remember finding the comic version a while back and having only 30ish chapters scanned; wound up grinding through the light novel version over the next 3 days, one of the few LN I can say I completed lol. Would love an anime version at some point too, some scenes would be pretty cool animated
I'm more of an "SSS-Class revival hunter" guy.
The other name it goes by is a no-no word on RUclips.
YESS
YEP! I have read Solo Leveling first and got really addicted into it, but Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint made me read 500 chapters worth of Light Novel, despite not really into reading. Definition of Peak Fiction.
Manhwa>>Manga (Mainly cause it's all colored)
actual brainrot
@@vould7233 I like what I like 🤷🏼♂️
I owe all my thanks to ReLIFE for introducing to me to webcomics in general, not just manhwas. The mobile friendly format, the coloured pages -- while it may not be detailed as traditional manga usually do, still is much nicer to look at.
The real reason for sure is the weekly or biweekly release compared to being monthly.
I prefer anime because I like sound.
To me they all look way to similar. And the backgrounds are bland.
I don't care if it doesn't have color as long it has a creative art style. Also the lack of colour is it's own style.
I like regression and I’ve only seen four and they’re all fun to read and one of them is about a skeleton trying to find out what happened to his boss while also trying to find his reason for living.
Another is called: webtoon character Na kang lim
the issue with webtoons is finding the original for alot of the popular genres. The moment something unique pops up there are HUNDREDS of terrible copycats. tower of god goes big, dozens of tower webtoons comeup, solo leveling goes big, dozens of regression webtoons popup. this happens with ANY webtoon that gets any amount of popularity. it happens in other countries, but with webtoons it is on another level.
Old ass webcomic I'd read in high school called "Megatokyo", about two Americans that go to Japan and madness ensues.
They can change the Major Anime Scene but they have to come out like a wild fire to fully takeover knowing that a good third of anime community sits on isekai
The thumbnail looks so much like a typical Seme and Uke dynamic.
Story of a Low-ranked Soldier Becoming a Monarch is good tho! And the main story-line just ended and a bunch of epilogue chapters are coming out so technically it's done and you can just binge read everything. Stepmother's Marchen and I'll be the Matriarch in this Life are also some of my faves. And Trash of the Count's Family is my fave Korean isekai.
I wanna recommend a manwha " the protagonist's younger sister" just for comedic timings, the setting and OP characters....
Its not complete yet but give it a try
Greatest estate developer rise up (return of mount hua aswell fr)
There's one Chinese manhua that's I recently read that's part of this genre and I rly enjoyed it so far
Idk if it's still updating cuz I haven't seen a new chapter come out for quite awhile now so Idk if it's still going to continue
But for anyone interested it's called "weird and hard to kill? Sry I'm the real immortal"
Which btw it's a title that doesn't make sense cuz it's in Chinese and idk why they didn't localize the title better in English but it's actually a pretty decent one
my recomendations The Greatest Estate Designer, Murin Login, Who Made Me A Princess
I hate the fact that “regression is like rogue-like” is so accurate. This feels like cursed knowledge.
Fantasie of a Stepmother is actually pretty good. Brilliant art, solid characters and interesting plot. Highly recommend 10/10
The greatest estate developer 🗿
meanwhile me with my villainess genre eating real good
There are actually a lot of great regressor comics. It has been my favorite genre for a bit
The thing about manhwa is the solo leveling rype manhwa are just action power fantasy but there are genuinely good onss like the devils boy which are more story based or leviathan is goatwd most people don't actually read the good manuwa cause its not shitty power fantasy
Bruh, the villainess ones are usually the best
Gigguk forgot to mention the part about who the regressor is on ORV. 🤣
ORV's MC(Kim Dokja) reads a regression novel called Three Ways to Survive a Ruined World, whose protagonist has regressed more than 1,864 times.
