A selection of popular titles from the genre, featuring 'Lore Olympus,' 'Tower of God,' 'The Remarried Empress,' and more

Fantasy webtoons are undeniably brilliant snackable reads thanks to their imaginative themes spanning genres, fully immersive storytelling, fascinating artwork, and in-depth visual expressions. Surrealist or comparable elements and a well-crafted narrative lend authenticity to the setting. But expecting what may never happen brings the deepest rush of all.

Fantasy webtoons excel at worldbuilding. Their portrayal of fictive spaces, periods, and theories is unique and far removed from what is normal. At their most basic, fantasy webtoons are an escape into wonderful worlds of exciting adventures. And I'm a fan, of these stories. So, here I've listed the top 10 fantasy webtoons that, in my opinion, are essential reads for anyone interested in the genre.

Lore Olympus

In her Lore Olympus series of the Gods, Rachel Smythe provides a modern spin on The Abduction of Persephone, a classical Greek story. The first season chronicles a plot by Minthe, Thanatos, and Thetis to disgrace Persephone and her struggles with Apollo's inappropriate advances while also pursuing a college scholarship that requires her to remain chaste. The second season follows Persephone's abduction and her growing romance with Hades, while the third has their reunion and the beginning of their official relationship.

Tower of God

A massive wish fulfillment tower that bestows all blessings on those living inside is at the core of creator Siu's Tower of God. When a young Bam ventures inside the tower in search of his love, Rachel, he discovers its inner workings and the diverse individuals within its ordered society, where challenges differ from floor to floor.
