Top 20 Manhwa/Webtoons Where The MC Is An Emotionless Cold-Blooded Killer
If you’re looking for the best manhwa with an MC who is a psychopath cold-blooded killer, look no further.
Most of us don’t want to hurt or torture people (I hope, lol), but psychopaths are characterized by a lack of remorse and empathy. For some of them, this leads to inflated egos or the ability to deal with highly stressful situations with a calm demeanor. But, for others, these traits become interlaced with a lust for blood and death. Through this recommendation list and its 20 manhwas, you’ll become acquainted with psychopath MCs with this last trait, and although they are all cold-blooded killers, the way they kill and why they kill differs significantly.

A Small Lie
사소한 거짓말
A Small Lie is a manhwa that begins with a letter whose first sentence is compelling in its morbidity: ‘I write to you regarding my murder of your son.’ And thus begins a series of letters exchanged between two individuals connected by Death. As murders and various vile acts interweave into a web, we slowly perceive who lies at its center: an individual whose lack of morals and sociopathy has created an abyss.

Ji-Hoo becomes known in Korea as the only victim who escaped Shin Kim, but while he managed to get away with his body intact, his mind is constantly consumed by the event.

3.CURSOR
커서
Kim Tae Sik is an average office worker, leading a life that most would not find desirable, deprived of any real passion or joy, always abiding by the words of his superiors or accepting the unfortunate situations he finds himself in. Seemingly out of nowhere, a cursor appears in his field of vision, changing shape when brought close to the people he encounters throughout his day. As the cursor changes to a sword, he becomes curious, decides to 'click' on it, and finds himself engaged in a brutal fight where he emerges as the victor. Emboldened by his newfound confidence and skills, he decides to follow the cursor's instructions, regardless of its intent or the places it will lead him.

4.Save Me
구원하소서 - Guwon Hasoseo
If you've read your fair share of tragic webtoons, you're probably aware of the intense bullying that sometimes takes place in South Korean schools. While it's a pretty popular subject to treat in manhwas, rare are the ones that manage to truly shock and turn the actions into extreme acts of violence. But 'Save me' is such a work, as it has a high chance of making you uncomfortable - I found myself covering my mouth in sheer horror at some of the scenes. But here, you won't find warmth or coming-of-age stories. This is a dark psychological read which centers on revenge. The plot follows Hyeongoh, a disabled student whose school bullies treat more like an entertaining animal than a human.

5. Superior Day
우월한하루
You'll love this manhwa if you're a fan of thrillers and psychopathic sinister serial killers. Here, the gore isn't on every page, as most panels will feel like they are portraying everyday life. But, when the killing scenes appear, they will send shivers down your spine and make you stare in utter shock at the sheer horror of his victim's state. Sensible souls: beware.

6.SEE NO EVIL
악인 - THE EVIL
Apart from being chronically dry, Bonggang Choi's eyes have an unusual feature: they are able to read minds by capturing the most predominant thoughts of the individuals they perceive. Choi prefers to lead an ordinary life, not paying much attention to his powers, but one day he comes across Hun Jo, an intimidating student at his school, whose entire body is resonating with sentences surrounding one word: 'Kill.' As the sentences multiply and become bolder in character, Choi can't help to think whether or not Hun Jo is acting on his urges.

7.Unhinged
극소수 - GEUKSOSU
Unhinged is a tale of murder, violence, and revenge involving a woman named Erika, who came home after work only to find that her husband had been brutally murdered. After being falsely accused of being his killer and incarcerated for almost a decade, Erika is released into the world with the unshakable intent to disregard any shackles of morality and pursue the people that killed her husband, framed her, and put her in jail. As she is about to commit her first kill, she comes across characters who already did the job for her: two whimsical sociopaths who work as assassins. While the art in this manhwa is very simple, it is impressively expressive and graphic, tainting the screen with the crimson colors of blood and remnants of intestines.

8.Hero of his own opinion
有自我想法的英雄
Most of us who like reading manhwas with psychopath MCs are used to a specific personality type: protagonists tend to lack emotions of all kinds, they are cold-blooded, rarely surprised, and if they display any reaction or sentiment, it is usually deranged madness. But if you’re tired of this portrayal and you’re looking for something different, look no further than this manhua. Here, although the MC is very much a psychopath (he lacks remorse, manipulates others, disregards morality or the law, …), he has a refreshing personality: he oozes sarcasm and an unimpressed attitude that gets mixed in with hilarious situations that will make you laugh out loud.

9.VIGILANTE
비질란테
It is no secret that the laws governing our daily lives are flawed. Criminals can sometimes get away with short sentences or completely evade the police. And so, while following the career path of a police officer, Kim Ji Yong decides to take the matter into his own hands. He does not hesitate to annihilate criminals by whatever means necessary, involving plenty of extreme violence and gore in the process - and enjoying it a bit too much for someone that claims to only be doing this for justice. This story offers an interesting perspective and plenty of points made surrounding the judicial system and does a great job at portraying the character growth of a 'good' psychopath.

11.340 DAYS
340일간의 유예
This manhwa takes place in a universe where the world's population is sectioned into two types of temperament clusters. 'Shuts' are very emotional people who can die or become highly depressed when faced with rejections. In contrast, 'Destroys' have an incredibly violent potential and are known for their unquenchable appetite for murder - if they ever give in to their tendencies. One day, Dosung, a Destroy, and Lin, a Shut, meet, and Lin instantly falls in love with him. Yes, this sounds like some weird twilight thing, but this manhwa is entertaining if you like these types of stories interlaced with serial killers and violence.

12.THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH
불편한 진실
When you think about psychopaths and killers, your mind probably doesn’t go to children that are still in school (neither does mine). But in this dark psychological manhwa, the very first chapter begins with Yoseob, a quiet high school student, sitting in jail for the murder of 8 civilians, each of which he stabbed to death. As he recounts his story and the truth gets revealed, the primary emotion you will feel is anxiety and shock, but sadness and tears will follow.

13.KILLING STALKING
킬링 스토킹
We've all watched movies or played games that began with warning tags or the good old 'Parental Advisory Explicit Content' label. Well, think about all the different kinds of 'violent' terms you can find in your head and assume that this dark and twisted manhwa has them. So, if you're a sensitive soul and you've somehow ended up here, do not, under any circumstance, read 'Killing Stalking.' The story follows the toxic and aggressive erm.. love?? Blossoming between Yoon Bum, a mentally unstable man, and Oh Sangwoo, a sociopathic and violent kidnapper. Mental torture, physical mutilation and manipulation, and plenty of abuse are in this one, but I'm still including it in this list because it's incredibly popular, and I love conforming to societal expectations.

16.WEAK HERO
약한영웅 - YAKHAN YEONG-UNG
When I first started reading manhwas, I was appalled by the sheer brutality that school bullies seem to have. But, apparently, bullying in South Korea is as intense as it gets - which is not surprising considering the number of webtoons authors creating content on this topic. 'Weak Hero' follows the journey of Gray, a small-in-stature student that looks like a perfectly frail victim but actually holds the calculative mind and unparalleled skills of a savage fighter. He moves into a school run by tyrants and decides to reestablish its rules by engaging in extremely ferocious fight scenes that don't shy away from puncturing eyes, breaking skulls, and turning noses into blood-propelling pumps.

Perplexed, he tries again and discovers that each murder he commits, regardless of how imaginative and gruesome, only serves to throw him back in time. Now stuck in this time loop, he tries to find the culprit, another psychic at his school.

This is an MC who is evil to the core and does every illegal thing under the sun, from poaching to assassinations and drug smuggling. Although he is wanted by many law-inforcing agencies, they all fail to understand the true nature of his power: Kim is an 'OP psychopath' who possesses the special ability to be able to absorb the skills of creatures he eats. One day, as he is finally on the verge of being caught, the universe decides to come to his rescue and sends him to another world inhabited by animals and humans with new properties he hasn't seen (or eaten, lol) before.

19.#KILLSTAGRAM
살人스타그램
As the age of social media bled into the early 2000s, forever tainting our lives with likes and the need to 'appear' and not 'be,' a repercussion of that new world of fantasy became that of the ability of stalkers to facilitate their operations. While this sentence seems like the beginning of a well-thought-out essay on social media, it's actually the premise of #Killstagram: an individual particularly obsessed with an influencer is willing to go to any depths to ensure she does not belong to anyone other than him - especially if it involves violence and the beheading of bodies.

20.My Student Can't Be a Psychopath
내 학생이 싸이코패스일 리가 없어
We’re finishing off this list of manhwas with psychopathic MCs with something a little different. No murderers or insanity here; since all the previous stories paint an atrocious picture of psychopaths, I decided to include this one, which kind of feels like a heartwarming ‘sociopaths are people too’ (which is true) depiction of life. Enjoy!
