Manhwa is the term for Korean comics and printed cartoons. It is also referred to as South Korean comics and is a part of South Korean culture. Between 1910-1945 Korea was under the control of Japan. This resulted in Japanese components, writing style, language, and culture being induced in Korean society. After the 2nd world war manhwa started gaining prominence throughout the country.
Its popularity increased during the 1950s and 60s. New styles and subjects were being adopted and also new genres were created. As manga became a major force within Japanese culture and began exporting comics abroad, it continued to exert a powerful influence on manhwa from the medium’s origins during the Japanese occupation of Korea.
One of the very famous Manhwa at present is The Druid of Seoul Station. It is based on the web novel of the same name written by Jin Seol woo. The manhwa is about Suho Park who is one day transported to a different planet. There he learns new abilities and strives to survive. One random day he is transported back to the earth only to find the earth at war with the monsters. Now it is up to Suho to make sure that mankind survives. Here are the top 10 Manhwa which is similar to The Druid of Seoul Station.
Solo Leveling
Around 10 years ago, a gate appeared connecting the human world with the realm of magic and monsters. To fight these monsters, normal humans acquired enormous powers and were soon called ‘Hunters’. The manhwa follows the story of 20-year-old Sung Ji-Woo. He is a hunter whom the System chooses to be the sole player and offers him extremely rare abilities to increase his strength.
Discover the secrets of the dungeons and Jin-Woo’s true power by following Jin-Woo’s journey as he fights against man and monster alike.

The Resurrection of The Catastrophic Hero
This manhwa is based on the tale of the world’s strongest hunter who was betrayed by his friend during the dungeon raid. His ally told him the prophecy that he’d die if he went on the dungeon raid. 20 years later the hero comes back to life to hunt down everyone who once betrayed him.
Seoul Station’s Necromancer
A former high-school student is forcefully summoned to a foreign planet for 20 years. After coming back to the earth he quickly discovers that earth is not the same planet as it once used to be.
Witness Kang Woojin regaining his strength, age, and dominance as he prepares to become the Earth’s strongest Necromancer once again! This manhwa is probably the most similar manhwa to Druid of Seoul Station.
PathFinder
Garam is turning 25 tomorrow, but not only has her parents forgotten, but she’s also yet to find a full-time job. At midnight, she awakens to find a strange window before her. Stepping through the window, she discovers that she’s a world traveler or a pathfinder. Her family and everything she knew back on earth have somehow disappeared when she stepped into this other world. Garam will have to learn all she can about being a pathfinder to reunite with her family and put things back on track.
Origins
As soon as monsters began to appear within the world, the globe was dominated by the King. He barricaded the kingdom with thick, long, and sturdy walls like the ones in Attack on Titan. By kicking out weak people he was able to break all the strong people which made it easier for him to survive. There was only one survivor from the protagonist’s village (he), which was wiped out by monsters. In a world that is rife with monsters, they are constantly fighting with the wall’s troops and can never escape battles.

Limit Breaker
The Awakening Test trapped Kim Kibong for 3000 years due to an unknown error. It’s been a decade since monsters and dungeons became omnipresent in the real world. Having returned to the maximum level, Kim Kibong now battles to restore the world to the way it used to be.
Legendary Moon Sculptor
Even though Hyun Lee and his grandmother live a life of poverty through part-time work, they cannot live happily. Eventually, he enters the VR game called Road where the sole purpose is the earned money. Even though he plays the game he cannot earn much. He works day in and out to develop his skills to earn more. At the moment, he should produce an avatar that guarantees the future of his family. I’d like to suggest this manhwa because it’s one of the best manhwas like solo leveling.
Return of the Frozen Player
The final boss appeared after five years since the world changed. The final boss for area Earth, The Frost Queen appeared. This meant the heroes could go back to their normal life if they can defeat the Frost Queen. The top 5 players in the world including Specter Seo and Jun-ho finally defeated the Frost Queen, however they drifted off into deep sleep for 25 years. Now that he is awake Specter realizes defeat of Frost Queen was not the end but there’s more.
The manhwa has good art and vibes and has become a fan favorite ever since its release.
Hero of his own opinion
This manhwa is brilliant like Solo Leveling and Seoul Station Druid so consider checking it out.
The protagonist lives as a demon king in his first life and as an ordinary man in his 2nd life. In his 3rd life, he is born as a hero required to fight for justice. This is the very irony of the manhwa as the protagonist is arrogant and narcissistic and is required to become a hero. Consider the fact that he once was a demon king and is now a hero and enjoys the manhwa.
My Path to Killing Gods in Another World
This is an ongoing manhwa where the genius main character likes to flirt with girls. On a rainy day, he got struck by lightning and was transported into another world, a world of games. In this danger-filled environment, he has no choice but to fight all the monsters and gods that come his way. Will he still be able to return to chasing girls he did before? The answer to that is in the manhwa which we strongly suggest you read.
