It's certainly not the weirdest thing out there, but it's filled to the brim with gore and some confusing plot holes that are best ignored if readers want to enjoy the story.

Top 6 Female Tsundere Characters in Manhwa, Ranked
Tsunderes are rough on the outside but loving on the inside. Here are some memorable women in manhwa who started out cold and gradually warmed up.
The story gets weirder and weirder by the minute since the zombies attack, then the vampires invade, and then the elf-like beings, but living in the Wuxhia world, where there is no magic, only martial arts. Somewhere between the International Awakener tournament and the fact that this guy likes to turn into a bird, all sanity and coherence was lost. However, the story is still worth a shot if readers love overpowered characters with strange powers.

Perhaps one of the weirdest Isekai ever

- Author: Lemonfrog
- Artist: Emongeguri
Girl Meets Boy, but with a twist: he is sent to kill her, but they end up killing each other. Now she is sent with a fragmented memory to a world of sword and sorcery, in the middle of a war of succession between two princes. Then there's a wizard who wants her dead for some reason and turns out to be the reincarnation of a murderer. It's all too convoluted and the plot is confused. But the story sort of meets somewhere in the middle.
It's a romantic comedy for a while and then it's back to political drama. The characters don't really know what they want, but find themselves in the strangest of situations, fighting with each other for the love of a woman they barely know who, in all honesty, could be out there to murder them both. In fact, she is destined to kill them and end the war, but stubbornly refuses to continue killing. No one knows what they want in this story, and the plot spirals into a strange kaleidoscope of teenage drama staged by clumsy adults who are supposed to be powerful political leaders.

4 things anime could do differently than Manhwa from beginning to end
The Beginning After The End anime is set to be released in 2025. Here are four things it can do differently than the Manhwa.
Why is this weird? Well, first there are talking foxes that can turn into babies, then a talking dragon, then talking whales that also happen to resemble humans. There are an awful lot of talking animals that can change into human form. So there are a lot of weird situations, but the story is quite wholesome and full of friendly moments.
1 Resetting Lady
Things get mixed up in the plot and are really weird
- Genres: Psychological Drama, Fantasy, Mature, Romance, Tragedy, Reincarnation, Slasher
- Authors: Baekwoo
- Artists: Cha Seo-Jin, Taegong
At some point it was a reincarnation manhwa, then it was time travel, and now it's some sort of psychological time loop where the main character decides to murder everyone she loves, including her father. The worst part? The father agrees with her. So now it's kind of an Isekai Slasher if we were to define it somehow.
The plot is a mess, the author doesn't know where the story will go next, and neither does the reader. But that doesn't mean everything is bad. There are good romantic moments, despite the murderous yandere protagonist who wants to break free from the endless century of reliving her life until her 19th birthday. During Season 2, it becomes shifty and weird, especially after he discovers one of the reasons he keeps reincarnating.
