This manhwa depicts the best martial arts viewpoint. The vibes, the feels, the thrill, and the adventure. Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint has everything. Once you start reading it, only one thing goes on in your mind and that is, “What is going to happen next?”
This is easily the best out of all the manhwa mentioned above. The main protagonist of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is Dokja, his favorite book came to life. An apocalypse that could potentially cause the end of the world arrived.
He has no idea how to save it or at least try to save it from the dangers. Fantasy turned to reality I would say is somehow scary. Of course, I would not like to come in a zombie apocalypse or watch the end of the world, that is some seriously scary stuff.

Gosu needs to be on here! That’s a hidden gem
I can pretty much name tons of Manhwa that deserve to be on this list…. like for real. Everyone has their own opinion, so I respect this list too.
Some of the manhwas would be:
Peerless Father
Gosu
Learn How to Fight / Viral HIt (Not Murim)
Volcanic Age
Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll consider it for our next update!
good list but outdated. there are so much more to add in this list. also i agree with the #1 being wrong. any of this can be the top.
Northern Blade
Undefeatable swordsman
nano machine
Chronicles of the heavenly demon
you forgot gosu
I’m not trying to say that this list is wrong but I think the first place is Wrongly given although omniscient reader’s viewpoint is very amazing but if compared to martial arts manhwa like nano machine,northern blade ,undefeated swordsman It doesn’t have that much martial arts content
