If you’re looking for a manhua that breaks the mold, I'm An Evil God by Shidai Man Wang is a must-read.
The stunning artwork alone makes it stand out, but what sets it apart is its masterful storytelling which I think can even rival the likes of One Piece.
The story follows Xie Yan, a man who, after being killed in an accident is transported to a world of martial arts and cultivation. What unfolds is an exhilarating journey across various realms, from the Han Empire to distant worlds, as he carves his path to becoming an evil god.
What makes Xie Yan such a compelling protagonist is his depth. He’s intelligent, ruthless when needed, yet fiercely loyal to those he cares about. His charm lies in his unpredictability and his ferocity in battle is unmatched. His overconfidence, however, sometimes leads to dangerous miscalculations, adding an extra layer of intrigue to his character.
Beyond Xie Yan, the series has an impressive supporting cast. Unlike many manhuas where female characters feel like afterthoughts, I'm An Evil God gives them strong, well-developed personalities. And the villains? They’re not just brainless antagonists with boring clichés, they're strategic, resourceful, and genuinely threatening, often forcing Xie Yan to stay on his toes.
With a protagonist skilled in everything from poetry to strategy, a rich plot, and breathtaking art, I'm An Evil God is a must-read. If you enjoy intelligent MCs, high-stakes battles, and a story that keeps you guessing, this is the manhua for you.
