Ms. Iconic Reader’s Top 10 Groundbreaking Action Webtoons & Chinese Manhua of 2025 – A BL Fan’s Ultimate Picks

 

Hello there!

Looking for the best action Webtoons to read in 2025? Tired of cliché storylines and predictable plots? "It makes me wonder how some of these are still so underrated—they’re absolute gems, like hidden treasures buried beneath the noise, just waiting to be found."

 

"As the author of this blog and a longtime reader, I’d like to voice my honest opinion. When I read an action webtoon, I want real action—something intense and gripping. Not the kind where the plot gets drowned out by clingy girls who constantly need saving by the MC. That gets old fast. Sure, there are strong female characters, and I’m all for that, but when their only purpose is to show off their bodies, I start to wonder—am I still reading a solid action story or just disguised fanservice? I’m also not a fan of harem genres; they usually turn the story into a chaotic mess where the spotlight shifts from the main character to a bunch of annoying side girls. No thanks."

 

In this post, I've rounded up 10 action-packed Webtoons that mix thrilling battles, sharp humor, and unique plots — no fanservice or annoying characters in sight. Whether you’re new to Webtoons or a seasoned reader, these picks will keep you hooked from the first page. Ready to discover something fresh? Let’s dive into the top Webtoons you can’t miss in 2025!

Top 10 Groundbreaking Action

 ━━━━ ⬤ 1 ⬤ ━━━━

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

📚Genres: Webtoon, Seinen,  Shounen, Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Isekai

📝 DESCRIPTION

“Wait… I know this storyline.”
A story that only he ever finished.

Just as the world crumbled around him, a new reality unfolded—one pulled straight from the pages of a novel.

Now, an ordinary reader finds himself reborn inside the very story he once read…

Armed with knowledge no one else possesses, he must navigate this unfamiliar world, rewrite fate, and survive the twists he once thought were fiction.

The end of one world was just the beginning of his own epic tale.

 

💭MY REVIEW 

I went in expecting a good time.
What I got?
A masterclass in tension, survival, and twisted storytelling.
Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is the kind of Webtoon that plays 4D chess while the rest are still drawing the board. The premise is genius, the pacing is wild, and the emotional moments hit like a truck.
And don’t even get me started on the art — it’s so crisp and cinematic it felt like HD injected straight into my eyes. Every panel is dripping in detail, and the action scenes? Gorgeous chaos.
You’ll laugh. You’ll stress. You’ll scream “HE KNEW!” way too many times.
11/10. Just read it.

The S-Classes That I Raised

📚Genres: Manhwa, Webtoon, Action, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy

📝 DESCRIPTION

An F-rank Hunter—weak, useless, and a burden to everyone around him.
Worse yet, he was the dead weight dragging down his brilliant S-rank younger brother… until it all came crashing down.
His choices cost everything.
But fate gave him a second chance.
Reborn with the title of “Perfect Caregiver,” he resolves to stay in the background this time—no glory, no reckless ambition. Just quietly supporting the powerful ones who shine so brightly.
That was the plan...
But these S-ranks? They’re not exactly normal.
And this so-called “quiet life”?
Yeah—it’s about to get very loud.

 

💭MY REVIEW 

I swear, I laughed in every chapter.
The S-Classes That I Raised is a chaotic, hilarious, and secretly heartwarming Webtoon that somehow makes you emotional between fits of laughing over chibis.
The art? Stunning. Like HD-level crispness, and those little comedic chibi moments? Cuteness overload.
Watching an exhausted F-rank basically become a full-time mom to a gang of unstable, overpowered S-ranks (and even monster pets) was everything I didn’t know I needed.
It’s sibling love, monster taming, babysitting disaster class S-ranks, and disciplining grown men like toddlers — all in one absolutely addictive package.
Trust me, you’ll laugh, aww, and want to adopt S-ranks by the end.

Necromancer Survival

📚Genres: Manhwa, Action, Dungeons, Fantasy, Magic, Monsters, Shounen ai

📝 DESCRIPTION

When timid and insecure Choi Yikyung discovered he was a user, he thought his luck had finally turned around.

And when he picked the Necromancer class?

Cool. Mysterious. Totally his vibe.
“You have made a pact with Seo Dawon, a vengeful spirit.”
It’s dangerous to go alone.

What he didn’t realize… was that Necromancy was considered the weakest class of all.

Still determined to grow stronger, Yikyung ventures into the newly reopened Tower of Spirits in search of enhancement materials. But instead of loot, he stumbles upon something far more terrifying—a corpse radiating an ominous presence.

Ding!

Now bound to a powerful—and annoyingly handsome—ghost with a dark past, Yikyung finds himself thrown into deadly quests and supernatural mysteries.

It turns out, having a ghostly ally isn’t so bad… especially one who’s strong enough to turn the world upside down.

Because in this tower?

 

💭MY REVIEW 

I never thought I’d call a skeleton cute—but here we are.
Necromancer Survival is hands down one of the funniest and most unexpectedly adorable webtoons I’ve ever read. The main character? Literal soft baby. Bro is surrounded by powerful, terrifying vengeful spirits and still acts like he’ll get robbed if he carries too much money. 💸😭
He’s poor. He’s weak. He’s scared. But somehow… he’s also a necromancer with a growing army of ghostly chaos.
The art is clean and expressive, and the way they draw the bones and spooky stuff all cute and funny?? Genius. I want to protect him, feed him, and then watch him freak out over being rich.
100% worth reading if you want laughs, lovable characters, and the rare experience of thinking:
“Aww… what a precious little skeleton baby.”

The Hunter Wants to Live Quietly

📚Genres: Manhwa, Action, Drama, Game, Shounen ai, Super Power, Time Travel

📝 DESCRIPTION

Hunter Cha Eui-jae was on a mission to seal a rift over the West Sea. Mission complete—except he didn’t return to applause.

He was flung out... straight into a garbage dump.

He’s landed in South Korea—eight years in the future.
“…Have we met before?”

Disoriented and starving, he stumbled into a nearby hangover soup joint, only to realize something shocking:

But this isn't the grim world he left behind.

Now, people get rift alerts on their phones, dungeon slimes star in ASMR videos, and flashy A-rank gear unboxings are all the rage on livestreams. The world that once teetered on the edge of destruction? It's gone strangely chill—and Cha Eui-jae doesn’t know what to do with himself.

With no role to play in this peaceful future, he figures… why not become a part-time worker at the humble hangover soup restaurant that saved him?

A quiet life. Good food. No more monsters.

That was the plan—until a mysterious figure in a gas mask walks in.

“That’s strange.”

So much for a peaceful retirement.

 

💭MY REVIEW 

The Hunter Wants to Live Quietly had me hooked from the title alone.
The whole concept? Hilariously relatable. All the MC wants is a peaceful life—but do the overpowered, attention-starved S-rank bugs leave him alone? Absolutely not.
This webtoon balances badass action scenes with just the right splash of comedy. The fights are intense, the power scaling is 🔥, and then boom—you’re hit with a ridiculous, laugh-out-loud moment that makes it even better.
I love how the story actually stays true to its name. The MC is chill, low-key, and just wants peace… but the universe said, “Nope.”
It’s satisfying, cool, and funny in the best ways. If you’re into chaotic calm energy, this one’s a must-read.

Eleceed

📚Genres: Action, Fantasy, Supernatural

📝 DESCRIPTION

Kaiden—a powerful and mysterious ability user—finds himself wounded after a fierce battle. To escape his enemies, he does the unthinkable: he hides inside the body of a stray street cat.

Stuck in his feline form, Kaiden is found and taken in by Jiwoo, an upbeat, cat-loving high schooler with a heart of gold… and a hidden power of his own.

Kaiden may be bossy, prideful, and totally unused to depending on others—but Jiwoo’s kindness starts to chip away at his walls. As the two navigate a world filled with dangerous ability users and secret powers, an unlikely bond forms between the overpowered cat and his new human companion.

One’s a sharp-tongued warrior. The other’s a gentle soul with untapped potential.
Together, they’re about to shake up everything.

 

💭MY REVIEW 

Eleceed is honestly one of those webtoons that’s just... everything. The action scenes? Intense and absolutely mind-blowing. Every fight feels like it has real stakes, and the pacing is perfection. But what really gets me? The art. Each panel is so detailed, it’s like the characters are jumping off the page and straight into your heart.
And can we talk about the characters? Hot. Whether it's the incredibly strong, mysterious Kaiden or the intense, lovable Kartein—everyone in this webtoon is damn attractive.
But here’s the real magic: the MC. He’s strong-willed, focused, and driven but soft-hearted side that makes you want to protect him. Watching Kaiden and Kartein step up to shield the MC is pure gold.
I can't even put into words how unique, funny, and engaging this webtoon is. You get killer action, a cast of stunning characters, and this deep emotional pull that makes you want to keep reading. Eleceed is a must-read—you’ll be hooked from the first chapter.

Murim Login

📚Genres: Manhwa, Action, Adventure, Drama

📝 DESCRIPTION

In a world where Hunters battle monsters spilling out from mysterious Gates, survival means strength—and Jin Tae-Kyung doesn’t have much of it. As a low-rank hunter barely scraping by, his life changes when he stumbles upon an old VR machine… and is accidentally transported into a virtual world based on ancient Martial Arts.
They may be part of a game, but to him, they were real.
To return to Murim. Not for glory, but to protect the ones who once stood by him.

Trapped in the immersive realm of Murim, Tae-Kyung fights, grows stronger, and overcomes countless trials. When he finally escapes and returns to reality, he’s shocked to find that the power and skills he gained in the game came with him.

Armed with newfound abilities, he rises through the hunter ranks like never before.

But the people he left behind—his NPC friends in Murim—still linger in his heart.

And so, Jin Tae-Kyung makes a bold decision:

 

💭MY REVIEW 

Murim Login is an absolute must-read. The way the MC goes from weak and struggling to powerful and unstoppable is so satisfying to watch—it's the classic “underdog” story we all crave. But here’s the twist: it’s hilarious!
Every time you think the story will get serious, the author pulls off these crazy funny scenes that you never saw coming. Honestly, I can’t get enough of how creative and unexpected the humor is.
How do they even come up with these moments? I’m constantly laughing and amazed at the comedic timing. It's like you’re watching the MC grow stronger and having the time of your life while doing it.
If you’re not reading Murim Login, you're seriously missing out. The comedy, character growth, and overall flow of the story are just too good to skip.

Doctor's rebirth

📚Genres: Webtoon, Shoujo, Shounen, Action, Fantasy, Historical, Isekai

📝 DESCRIPTION

I was just a doctor on a medical volunteer mission overseas—until a sudden civil war shattered everything.

I died shielding a patient from a rebel’s bullet...

But when I opened my eyes, I was a child again—in an unfamiliar world!

This is the world of The Supreme Demon King—a Murim novel I used to read!
This is the story of how I became the most renowned physician in Gangho—and changed the fate of an entire world!'

Surrounded by wreckage, unconscious strangers, and bizarre clothing, I realized something shocking:

With only my medical knowledge and sheer will, I rushed to save whoever I could. Among the injured? None other than the novel’s protagonist—Yeoharyun, the future Demon King himself.

“You saved my life. From now on, call me hyung.”

That moment sealed my fate. I became sworn brothers with the Demon King, and soon after, I was taken under the wing of Baekrineuison, a legendary healer of the martial world.

From a lost soul in a war-torn land to a disciple of the greatest doctor in Murim...

 

💭MY REVIEW 

Doctor’s Rebirth is unlike anything you’ve ever read before. The plot takes you through an intense transmigration journey, where the MC, once wanted for his unmatched medical skills, is thrust into a world filled with danger, mystery, and... serious eye candy. The best part? The MC is incredibly loyal and obedient to his master, the greatest doctor of all. And let me tell you—his master is captivating—not only is he a genius doctor, but he’s also got a face that’ll leave you swooning! I can’t help it—I’m captivated too. But it doesn’t end there. The MC’s sworn brother? Oh my god. He’s just as alluring and charismatic, and their relationship is so intriguing. The dynamic between them is as entertaining as it is heartwarming.
I’ll admit, in this webtoon, I’m the prisoner—and I’m absolutely thrilled to be one! Doctor’s Rebirth is a perfect mix of thrilling plot twists, captivating characters, and a love for medicine that will leave you hooked from start to finish. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!

Path of the Shaman

📚Genres: Webtoon, Shounen, Action, Comedy, Fantasy, Historical, Martial Arts

📝 DESCRIPTION

If the Grim Reaper calls your name three times... you're done for.

“Hyeokyeon Mugang.”

“Hyeokyeon Mugang.”
“Hyeokyeon Mu—”
But when I woke up, I wasn’t in the underworld. I was in the middle of a bunch of wrinkly old men… at the Shamans' Mountain?!

And now… I’m stuck among a bunch of shamans?!
Get ready for the rise of the most unhinged, immortal martial artist ever reborn.

“Screw that! I’m not dying today!”

In a desperate bid to survive, I chugged the mythical Herb of Immortality—and it actually worked!

Somehow, I’ve possessed the body of a pathetic errand boy. Me! The Hyeokyeon Mugang, head of the mighty Sa Clan and the strongest warrior in the land!

Fine. If this is my new life, I’ll climb back to the top—stronger, smarter, and more ruthless than ever.

The wild journey of “Path of the Shaman” begins now!

 

💭MY REVIEW 

If you’ve ever read Murim Login and loved it, you absolutely can’t miss Path of the Shaman. It’s everything I love about a great webtoon—cool action, witty humor, and a MC who’s both badass and hilarious! The art is gorgeous, with stunning action scenes that’ll have you on the edge of your seat.
The best part? The comedy. It’s got that perfect balance of intense action and moments that’ll have you laughing out loud. I can’t get enough of the MC’s sharp wit—it keeps me coming back for more.
Honestly, this webtoon is a gem. The more I read, the more I fall in love with the characters, the story, and everything in between. And the MC? Oh my god. I just want to bite him—he’s that irresistible. If you're into stories with epic action and laugh-out-loud humor, Path of the Shaman is the perfect webtoon for you!

💭MY REVIEW 

The World’s Best Engineer is one of those webtoons that just clicks. It’s trending for a reason, and once you start reading, you’ll see why. The humor in this webtoon is on another level, especially the hilarious faces the characters make.

The Legend of the Northern Blade

Genres: Webtoon, Shounen, Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Full Color, Martial Arts

📝 DESCRIPTION

For decades, the legendary warriors of the Northern Heavenly Sect have fought tirelessly to protect the world from the sinister forces of the Silent Night. But when the fourth-generation leader is wrongfully accused of betraying his sect and conspiring with the enemy, he is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice—disbanding the sect and taking his own life to protect his son, Moowon.

There, he begins his intense training to master the deadly combat skills of his ancestors. But when a beloved figure mysteriously vanishes, Moowon’s quiet life is shattered, and he is thrust back into the world he left behind.

Join Moowon on his quest for vengeance as he sets out to avenge his father’s death and dismantle the dark forces threatening to throw the world into chaos. The journey will be filled with danger, discovery, and a fierce will to protect everything worth fighting for!'

 

💭MY REVIEW 

If you think you've read it all when it comes to action-packed webtoons, think again. The Legend of the Northern Bladetook everything I thought I knew... and flipped it on its head. Just when I thought I had the plot figured out, BOOM—plot twist that smacked me so hard I had to pause and reread.
This webtoon isn’t just about epic fights and sword skills (though trust me, those are top-tier)—it’s about the mind games. My own theory? Thrown out the window. That’s how brilliantly smart the writing is.
The creator is a genius. Period. The way the story unfolds is so tight, clever, and emotionally satisfying, you’ll find yourself gasping, cheering, and maybe even screaming a little.
If you’re craving real stakes, epic battles, and mind-blowing twists—this is the one. I’m bowing down to the creator. This story wrecked me in the best way.
