Manhwa for fans of The Beginning After The End – Top 10
10. Star Embracing Swordsman
- Note MAL: 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 who was 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 swears revenge, he embarks on a journey to follow the path of the sword. He attracts the attention of a powerful nobleman and becomes his knight apprentice under Sir Jayad.
The story shares many similarities with TBATE, especially the impressive combat scenes, as well as the overall atmosphere of the art and design. The world-building is also a point of convergence, with elements of high fantasy and dark fantasy mixed together, and even some horror elements to round it out.
09. The Reformation Of The Deadbeat Noble
- Note MAL: 7.67
- Year: 2021-present
- Author: Ideungbyeol (Story), Dodomoon (Art)
- Chapters: +138
This manhwa tells a beautiful and complete story about friendship, reincarnation, overcoming pain, and moving on. It shares some strong points with TBATE, as the main character also grows gradually and helps an academy prepare to become a Master Swordsman.
There isn't much magic in this story, unless readers take into account the Mystics, who are quite rare but still roam the world spreading spells here and there. The world-building is quite similar, and the main villains in the story have similar motivations. It's quite an enjoyable read as well.
08. Seoul's Station Druid
- Note MAL: 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 paradise on Earth. The setting is similar to that of TBATE, although the story is intrinsically different.
The important thing is that the protagonist shares the same mindset and determination about how to deal with things, even if it means crushing his enemies without mercy. The story may be a little peculiar, but it flows well.
07. Dragon Devouring Mage
- Note MAL: 6.68
- Year: 2023-present
- Author: Ilhwang (Story), Teddybara (Art)
- Chapters: +100
Dragon Devouring Mage is a story about regression, academic life, swords, and sorcery. It shares many strong points with TBATE, and the protagonist also has a pet dragon that accompanies him on his adventures.
But perhaps the greatest similarity lies in the political struggle behind each plot twist. Both manhwas feature powerful enemies moving in the shadows, attempting to shape the fate of the world according to their own selfish desires.
06. The Extra's Academy Survival Guide
- Note MAL: 8.19
- Year: 2023-present
- Author: Green Kyrin (Art), Korita (Story)
- Chapters: +82
On the other hand, this is a peculiar and complete story about a reincarnated player, sent into his favorite Visual Novel RPG, who becomes just a secondary character doomed to failure. But his knowledge of how the world works allows him to always be one step ahead, finding the ideal path to survival in a place that is determined to expel him.
The story is full of clichés from academic life, just like TBATE: betrayal, political conflicts, 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 suitable for those who enjoy these clichés.
Manhwa for fans of The Beginning After The End – Top 5
05. The Swordmaster's Youngest Son
- Note MAL: 7.85
- Year: 2022-present
- Author: Hwangje Penguin (Story), Lee, Jewon (Art)
- Chapters: +183
Thus, a sword and sorcery story like few other series, with many points in common with the dark fantasy setting and art style of TBATE . To top it off, it has great combat scenes and excellent character development.
The downside is that the story progresses very slowly, at an unusually leisurely pace for an action manga. Perhaps this is the main difference between the two series, since TBATE has a slightly faster pace.
04. Mage Again
- Note MAL: 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 great 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 the seemingly inevitable destiny of repeating trajectories from past lives—one as a mage and the other as a leader and warrior. Both must fight a war with no winners.

03. Infinite Leveling Murim
- Note MAL: 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, fixing mistakes from past lives, and moving forward side-by-side with friends you can trust. The main character of Infinite Level Murim has a lot in common with Arthur Leywyn from TBATE. Political intrigue, dangerous enemies attacking from another continent (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
- Note MAL: 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 ages, 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 seek revenge? Time will tell. This manhwa shares many similarities with TBATE, but primarily the reincarnation trope and the main character's motivation.
01. Infinite Mage
- Note MAL: 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. A late-rising genius enters the Academy of Magic and discovers the Immortal Function, a power beyond human comprehension. Will he be able to master this power, or will he be consumed by it and lost in the vastness of the universe?
This manhwa shares several similarities with TBATE, for example : its magic system governed by scientific laws and a dark fantasy setting similar to the fantastic tale of Turtle Me. But also, plenty of political intrigue, dark twists, and betrayal as the main catalysts for character growth.
