The modern era which looked peaceful compared to the older times begins to uncover itself.

We discover various other evil organizations are continuing with their plans so Raizel now has to get back into action.

9. Hardcore Leveling Warrior

Hardcore Leveling Warrior is kind of like reverse Solo Leveling because the protagonist of the story Gong Won-Ho starts as the number 1 player in this world.

Hardcore Leveling Warrior separates itself from other similar isekai type stories by having an actual great cast of side characters.

This makes the story feel much more compelling.

If Tower of God is the One Piece of webtoon world, God of High School is dragon ball.

Taekwondo expert Jin Mo-Ri.
karate specialist Han Dae-Wi.
Swordswoman Yu Mi-Ra.

The story soon escalates from this high school tournament to something that throws the whole world into turmoil.

13. The Beginning After The End

The Beginning After The End doesn’t do anything unique when it comes to this type of isekai stories, but it does absolute justice to this genre.

The protagonist of the story was a king in his real life. After he dies, he gets reincarnated into a magical world as a child.

He then learns various powers, the culture of this world, forms relations with its people and other cool stuff.
