A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special

Mixes Drama And High Fantasy Like No Other

• Genres: Isekai, Sword & Magic, School Drama, High Fantasy
• Author: Wookjakga
• Artist: Usonan

The story of Desir Arman and his crew is a tale of suffering, sacrifice, death, and drama, but also about friendship, love, partnership, and courage in the face of absolute destruction. There are no wasted pages in this story, it is pure and unbridled high-fantasy, with a dose of Isekai, regression, and the trope of a hard-working hero. Despite following this series for years, the author has decided to end with one of the most infamous and notorious cliffhangers in the history of the genre. And if readers want to know how the story ends as well, then they have a chance to read it to its fullest.

One of the best aspects of this series is the endearing relationship between the protagonist and his friends: he who knows the destiny of the world walks a solitary path, though, the burden he carries was shared by everyone who held his hand during this adventure. A notoriously powerful tale about friendship and beating the odds. In case readers want to enter the world of A Returner’s Magic through the big doors, there’s an anime series also available, but it only has one season (for now).

The Gamer

A Person Transported To An Alternate Reality Develops Magic Powers

• Genre: Action, Martial Arts, Dystopian, Fantasy, Comedy
• Author: Sung San-young
• Artist: Sang-ah

The story of The Gamer has finally concluded, with over 500 chapters no less! It is a long journey of fantastical discoveries, endearing friendship, and above all else: some of the coolest combat scenes in an Isekai/Regression Manhwa. With many quirky characters populating its world, this series is about an unlikely hero who one day wakes up in an alternate reality, and starts to perceive the world around him as if it were a videogame.

5 Manhwa Like The Gamer You Should Read

These manhwa are the perfect choices for readers who enjoyed the Gamer.

Entering the “Shadow World,” turns around his normal livelihood, so he decides to go with the flow and become an independent powerhouse in a world of gods, demons, and superhumans. The Gamer has been criticized a lot due to its art style, which some fans call Ameri-manhwa, though what matters most is its battle scenes since they’re good enough to entertain the readers for hours and hours.

Seoul’s Station Necromancer

He’s Not Coming Back For Revenge, He’s Coming Back To Exterminate Them

• Genres: Sword & Sorcery, Dystopian, Urban Fantasy
• Author: Jin Sol U
• Artist: Jin Sol U

A dark magician returns to his home planet, and lands in Korea, right in the middle of a bullying situation. He has a clear goal in mind: to track down his former enemies who are also trying to attack the world he rules. In a vertiginous succession of events, Kang-Wojin, also known as the Immortal of Alphen.

A decent story, with incredible character developments, and a main character that fears nothing but the madness provoked by the souls of the millions he has slain. Compelling, thrilling, and with some good character developments, despite the plot stagnating right in the middle, it knows how to regain the pacing and things become full circle in an epic conclusion around chapter 150. Fair warning though: those looking for the typical Isekai about a hero who is there to save the world should look elsewhere, as there are no heroes in this story.

FFF-Class Trash Hero

No Matter What The World Throws At Him, He Will Emerge Victorious

• Genres: Reincarnation, Sword & Magic, Comedy
• Author: Farnar
• Artist: Kkangmu, Pareunareu

After being kidnapped from Earth to do the bidding of the infamous gods of a fantasy world, Kang Soo-Jin decides to destroy everything and break the cycle. But he is thrown into an infinite loop by a vicious goddess who wants to teach him a lesson of humility. Needless to say, this triggered his transformation into a dark avenger who will stop at nothing to get his revenge.

Ironically, his transformation into a Demon Lord is yet another joke of destiny, one that represents all too well the essence of Isekai Manhwa in general: a hero, taken unwillingly to fight a war in a world that is not his own. Action, adventure, drama, and also a little bit of dark comedy intertwine perfectly in one of the best Isekai series ever made. Sadly, it has arrived to its epic conclusion, but the ending is quite satisfactory (and we will leave it at that to prevent spoilers).

The Second Coming of Gluttony

Drowned In Debauchery, He Received Another Chance

• Genres: Dark Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Drama, Action, Seinen
• Author: Ro Yu-jin
• Artist: Ahn Jonghyeok

Stories like The Second Coming of Gluttony make us think of second chances and the unfairness of seeing people that do not deserve them getting a lot of help from fate (and sometimes even the Gods). Seol, the main character is selfish, depraved, and has fallen into an endless spiral of gambling addiction and substance abuse. Shunned by everyone he knows, he decides to keep trying despite being on the verge of eviction and homelessness.

And that’s where the reverse Isekai trope kicks in to save him from his unavoidable demise, with him recovering the memories of his past life as a legendary warrior, and acquiring a system-like ability that lets him control his “growth.” So from that point on, he decides to reverse his fate and becomes a “righteous man,” although, there are many twists in between and a thrilling tale of seeking redemption using a cheat-like ability.
