Manhwa for those who enjoyed The Beginning After The End – Top 10
10. Star Embracing Swordsman
- MAL Grade: 7.95
- Year: 2023-present
- Author: Q10 (Story), Juno (Art)
- Chapters: +79
In short, this tells the story of Vlad of Shoara, a poor orphan taken in by a brothel owner and a retired mercenary. After a fateful night in which Vlad's life is destroyed by a mysterious Knight and he vows revenge, he embarks on a journey to follow the path of the sword. He attracts the attention of a powerful nobleman and becomes his apprentice knight under the command of Sir Jayad.
The story shares many similarities with TBATE, especially the impressive combat scenes, as well as the overall feel of the art and design. The worldbuilding is also a common thread, with elements of high fantasy and dark fantasy blended together, and even some horror elements thrown in for good measure.
09. The Reformation Of The Deadbeat Noble
- MAL Grade: 7.67
- Year: 2021-present
- Author: Ideungbyeol (Story), Dodomoon (Art)
- Chapters: +138
This manhwa tells a beautiful and fulfilling story about friendship, reincarnation, overcoming pain, and moving forward. It shares some strong points with TBATE, as the main character also grows up slowly and helps an academy prepare to become a Sword Master.
There's not much magic in this story, unless you count the Mystics, who are quite rare but still roam the world casting spells here and there. The worldbuilding is quite similar, and the story's main villains have similar motivations. It's a fairly enjoyable read, too.
08. Seoul's Station Druid
- MAL Grade: 6.54
- Year: 2021-present
- Author: Jin, Seolwoo (Story), Hwalseonggom (Art)
- Chapters: +188
The main character of this manhwa is a powerful archdruid who transcends human comprehension and has returned from another world to create a paradise on Earth. The setting is similar to that of TBATE , though the story is intrinsically different.
The important thing is that the protagonist shares the same mindset and determination to deal with things, even if it means crushing their enemies mercilessly. The story may be a bit quirky, but it has a good flow.
07. Dragon Devouring Mage
- MAL Grade: 6.68
- Year: 2023-present
- Author: Ilhwang (Story), Teddybara (Art)
- Chapters: +100
Dragon Devouring Mage is a story about regression, academic life, and swords and sorcery. It shares many similarities with TBATE , and the protagonist also has a pet dragon that accompanies him on his adventures.
But perhaps the greatest similarity is the political strife behind each twist and turn of the story. Both manhwas feature powerful enemies moving in the shadows, trying to shape the fate of the world according to their own selfish desires.
06. The Extra's Academy Survival Guide
- MAL Grade: 8.19
- Year: 2023-present
- Author: Green Kyrin (Art), Korita (Story)
- Chapters: +82
On the other hand, this is a quirky and complete story about a reincarnated player, sent into his favorite Visual Novel RPG, who becomes nothing more than a secondary character doomed to failure. But his knowledge of how the world works allows him to always stay one step ahead, finding the ideal path to survival in a place determined to expel him.
The story is rife with academic clichés, just like TBATE : betrayal, political conflict, and power corrupting people. Sword and sorcery, dark fantasy, and a similar setting with a protagonist as determined as he is intelligent complete the mix, creating a story suited for those who enjoy these clichés.

05. The Swordmaster's Youngest Son
- MAL Grade: 7.85
- Year: 2022-present
- Author: Hwangje Penguin (Story), Lee, Jewon (Art)
- Chapters: +183
Thus, a sword-and-sorcery story unlike any other series, with many similarities to TBATE . To top it all off, it has great combat scenes and excellent character development.
The downside is that the story progresses very slowly, and at an unusually leisurely pace for an action manga. This is perhaps the main difference between the two series, as TBATE has a slightly faster pace.
04. Mage Again
- MAL Grade: 7.25
- Year: 2021-present
- Author: Myoung Rang (Story), Cheong, Seolmo (Art)
- Chapters: +104
The greatest magician of all time dies and is reincarnated as a young man named Rhangae, who happens to have a strong affinity for magic. In this story of reincarnation and new beginnings, destiny seems inevitable.
Both Rhangae and Arthur from TBATE have much in common, but the main similarity is their seemingly inevitable destiny to repeat past life trajectories—one as a mage, the other as a leader and warrior. Both must fight a war with no winners.

03. Infinite Leveling Murim
- MAL Grade: 7.90
- Year: 2022-present
- Author: Themis (Art), Kim, Chiwoo (Story)
- Chapters: +217
On the other hand, this manhwa is about resetting the clock, living again, righting past mistakes, and moving forward alongside trusted friends. Infinite Level's main character, Murim, shares a lot in common with TBATE . Political intrigue, dangerous enemies attacking from other continents (and from within), and power struggles are the order of the day in this series.
Thus, it is precisely these themes that make TBATE and Infinite Level: Murim so similar. Both share themes of war and a man who learns that fighting alone is never the answer. The work has good character and world development, so it's worth reading, especially for those who enjoy War Manhwa.
02. 66666 Years: Advent Of The Dark Magician
- MAL Grade: 7.30
- Year: 2022-present
- Author: Pasa (Art), Hwabong (Story), Taru (Story)
- Chapters: +122
In short, in this dark and twisted tale of reincarnation and revenge, the most heinous villainous wizard defied the gods. He could not be killed, so he was banished for thousands of years. After eons, he returns with a single purpose: to kill all the gods.
But something changes this time. He is reincarnated as a young nobleman from an influential family and is chosen by the Goddess he so despises to be her champion. Will he move on or still seek revenge? Time will tell. This manhwa shares many similarities with TBATE , but most notably, the reincarnation trope and the main character's motivation.
01. Infinite Mage
- MAL Grade: 7.90
- Year: 2023-present
- Author: Themis (Art), Kim, Chiwoo (Story)
- Chapters: +79
Ultimately, Infinite Mage is a story about friendship, love, and mathematics. Yes, that's right: mathematics rules the world, and in this story, it also governs the laws of magic. Thus, a late-rising genius enters the Academy of Magic and discovers the Immortal Function, a power beyond human comprehension. Will he master this power, or will it consume him and lose him in the vastness of the universe?
manhwa shares several similarities with TBATE, including its scientifically-driven magic system and dark fantasy setting, similar to the fantasy tale of Turtle Me. But it also features political intrigue, dark twists, and betrayal as the main catalysts for character growth.
