Manhwa's best selling point is probably its ability to appeal to a wide audience like any other form of entertainment. The ability to satisfy a wide audience presupposes a wide range of project types from all possible fields. However, this piece's particular focus trope is a manhwa that has main characters that have summoning abilities.
In these manhwas, these main characters are often able to summon mythical and powerful allies in their life-threatening quests. In most cases, these characters are typically capable of summoning and controlling armies of considerable numbers, depending on how powerful the character is, while still being powerful magical individuals themselves. So for this piece, the best manhwa whose protagonists meet the summoning criteria is here.
