The second ranking in the ongoing murim manhwa is Return of the Mount Hua Sect. The story is based on reincarnation, great art, actions, and peak comedy, the manhwa delivers it all.

3. Return of the Mad Demon
The most unpredictable, with unique comedy, and a crazy main character. This is what Return of the Mad Demon is. The main character lives up to the mad demon to the fullest.
His unpredictability, comedy, actions, and craziness are just on another level. Even the side characters, storyline, and artwork are excellent.
The Mad Demon, whose real name is Jaha Lee, has just one ambition in life: to dominate the martial arts world. He steals a priceless artifact from the notorious Demon Cult—it seems insane, but it’s all because of his obsession.
He decides to leap from a cliff, knowing full well that he will meet his end because his pursuers are closing very fast. Nonetheless, the Mad Demon’s fate is not what it seems. Suddenly, he finds himself transported to a time when he was a mere innkeeper.

4. Nano Machine
Another one of the best ongoing murim manhwa is Nano Machine. This one is different from the rest as here the main character gets the system and his ancestor’s help.
But still, most of the setting and setting is totally based on murim world. And yes, the main character is cruel, great action, a story, and a slow romance.
Following his mother’s tragic death at the hands of Yeo-Woon-Cheon’s father’s other wives, Yeo-Woon-Cheon’s life takes a surprising twist.

5. Reaper of the Drifting Moon
Reaper of the Drifting Moon might be one of the most underrated murim manhwa still right now. The coldness and character development of the main character are just on a whole other level.
Although many readers don’t like the feminine design, but no one can complain when it’s comes to pure action, brutality, and revenge from him. Plus, the main character is an assassin which brings another awesome point to the manhwa.
Pyo Wol has always wanted to see the wide continent for himself since he was born to wander. But his aspirations are dashed when he is kidnapped and compelled to become a trainee assassin, doomed to slaughter mercilessly.

Murim Login might be the most unique in the ongoing murim manhwa right now. The setting and story aren’t in the murim world. But it’s in the modern age, where the main character gets a vr capsule.
He can play a murim world game and advance and improve his skills in the real world too. You will get the action and storyline from both worlds. Also, this manwha is a meme goldmine and you will have a great laugh while reading it.

7. Peerless Dad in ongoing murim manhwa list
The nest in the ongoing murim manhwa list is the Peerless Da. Yes, that’s right, the main character this time is a middle-aged warrior Dad. With great storytelling, father’s love, bonding, comedy, and fights, it packs a punch in everything.
It would be a mistake to think of Gajang Noh as a brainless martial artist. The tough appearance belies a kind, single parent who will do everything in his power to provide a good upbringing for his children.
But having triplets is even more of a challenge than having a single child! Parenting can be more challenging and intricate at times than the Murim universe itself.

The best main character development is ongoing on Chronicles of the Demon Faction Murim Manhwa. The art is absolutely gorgeous, with a good storyline, and great pacing.
Even though the main character’s development starts to be a little slow, trust me, the current him is just savage. It’s so much fun to read that you won’t notice the time.
Master assassin Hajin Cheon tries to escape from the Divine Justice Alliance, but orthodox and deviant martial artists of all stripes trap him. After a fierce fight for freedom, he dies and awakens in the body of Ryang Seo, a prince of the infamous Heavenly Demon Cult.

Although the manhwa is on hiatus, Heavenly Inquisition Sword definitely deserves the spot in the ongoing murim manhwa list. The thing I like the most is the main character is a bandit and starts from his lowest point. The true thrill and adrenaline of weakest to strongest, you will get from this manhwa.
Following his father’s murder, Yeon Jeokha endured a horrific childhood in isolation, confined to a deserted warehouse. He kept his innocent spirit and tremendous determination intact despite his terrible surroundings.
He unearths a priceless artifact from his father—a living, ancient mirror—in the bowels of his jail, and it turns out that the mirror was his first martial instructor.

This newly started manhwa, The Chaotic God of Extraordinary Strength is a must in the ongoing murim manhwa list. It is the prequel to the Nano Machine based on the same world.
Brutal, cruel, villain, revenge, and extraordinary art, this is how I will describe this manhwa and art. The main character is totally a villain with smart mind and his wicked ways.
Zheng, the “Slaughtering Scythe Ghost” enjoys killing.
He shares the same face as Mok Gyung-Woon, the Third Young Master of the Great Orderly Wooden Sword Hall… “Be my double body. I’ll let you out of jail that way.”
