Summary
Creatures, monsters, and the weirdest of things: some main characters have poor luck. Theyget reincarnated as some of the strangest sentient beings(or not) and they have to do everything they can to survive. Sometimes, that even means throwing their pride out the window, and their humanity with it.
Accompanying these characters in their journey to become human again, or embrace their monstrous nature at its fullest, is a wild ride. Thesemanhwawalk the thin line between xenofiction and reincarnation, proposing outlandish tales about humans becoming something wacky. Creatures range from a talking mutant willow tree, to a xenomorph that could have popped out of one of Ridley Scott’s movies. Read them at your discretion, as some of these manhwa dabble in sensitive topics.
5Evolution Begins With A Big Tree
One Of The Freakiest Reincarnations So Far
An unnamed protagonist dies, and the last thing he remembers is falling from a cliff and drowning in water. But soon after, he regains his consciousness as a powerful force draws him from the depths of the earth. Unbeknownst to him, he was reincarnated as a giant Willow Mutant Tree years after he died, andthe world where he is right now is not the sameas he remembers.
For some reason, Earth has new mutant-awakened creatures and awakened humans as well. But since he cannot move, the protagonist starts to panic as the monstrous creatures try to devour his branches and roots. This triggers the evolution in him and he develops a way to defend himself, evolving into a carnivorous Willow. And so, the story of a strange reincarnation in an even stranger world begins.
4Salvos
The MC Starts As A Hell-Slug
Also known asA Monster Reincarnation LITRpg, Salvos is the story of a female demon larva, who apparently was human once, and got reincarnated into a slime-like creature in the depths of hell. Salvos will have to use all her wits and literally crawl until she can fend for herself. After that, she must eat to become stronger and evolve until she makes it to adulthood. This story has several elements that make it similar to an RPG game. It’s really well-developed and transmits the feeling of being in an RPG with accuracy.
Salvosis an interesting story with lots of dark fantasy elements, likedemon lords and heroes fighting each other, and a lot of plot twists that are worth reading for. One of the downsides is that it has no official translation yet, and it could take some time until the authors decide to launch an official translated version.
3Reborn As A Monster
Godzilla, As Plain And Simple As That
After attempting to save the life of a group of younger students, Lin Yuan dies after being hit by Truck-Gun (the equivalent of Truck Kun in Korean)and his soul disappears from the world. But as fate would have it, he suddenly wakes up in the body of a reptile-like creature, very similar to Godzilla. Turns out he has been reincarnated as a Thunder Dragon, a mythical creature similar to the giant lizard he admired so much.Mixing sci-fi and some mild fantasy elements, this manhwa has a lot of good plot twists, and some comedy tropes as well.
In his new body, he has a lot of abilities, among which eating and growing are the basic skills. He is also linked to the “Monster Evolution System,” a game-like prompt that appears and guides him like a tutorial from a game. From that point on, Lin Yuan starts his rise in the world of monsters, eating other creatures to survive and grow stronger. But the oceans are a cruel place for a young monster, so he decides to land on a nearby island to find greener pastures (and more food). This turns out to be a bad choice, since the island is even more dangerous than the seas. But Lin Yuan will not succumb that easily, and he is ready to start his life as the supreme ruler of those lands.
2The Skeleton Soldier Failed To Defend The Dungeon
Dark And Heartbreaking, But Fascinating
All he remembers is being risen from the grave by his mistress. An unnamed Skeleton watched with a mournful, empty gaze how the adventurers dived into the dungeon and killed the Demon Master he was supposed to protect. As regret invaded his last thoughts, he was destroyed, but instead of disappearing like all dungeon monsters do, he was brought back in time.
Armed with a powerful game-like system, the Skeleton Soldierwill now climb the ranks among the dungeon monsters, and defend his mistress from all threats. But what happened to his memories, or his past self? And why did he go back in time? As the plot advances, more and more secrets are uncovered, and the truth that lies waiting will shake the readers to their core. What does it mean to be human? Where do we cease to exist and something new begins? Behind a seemingly fun and dramatic plot lies a deep and philosophical narrative about what it means to be human, through the eyes of one of the weakest monsters in fantasy literature.
1I Became An Evolving Space Monster
The Most Gory And Terrifying Reincarnation
Have you ever dreamed of being anAlienXenomorph? Well, this main character sure did. As a matter of fact, his dreams came true in a cool and unusual way: through reincarnation.I Became An Evolving Space Monsteris basically that: the story of a xenomorph nerd who turns into the creature he loves. Armed with all the knowledge he amassed by playing an alien simulation game, he is going to take over the spaceship and devour all its crew members.
But danger lurks outside the protective shell of the research ship where he is, and even space pirates are willing to take the risk and invade the seemingly abandoned ship to loot everything they can.
