The main character is the central focus of a story and his/her personality plays a very important role in the popularity of a manhwa. Over the years, a certain trend has popped up more often than not.
People want to see a main character who is devoid of emotions. The cold and ruthless personality has a sort of attraction that seems to get more viewers. With that in mind, I have compiled a list where you will find 12 Manhwa with a cold/emotionless MC.
