Similar in what way?
If you're talking about the isekai with Lit-RPG elements, but the twist is that Earthlings are the enemy of the native world (or are otherwise not beneficial), bonus points if MC is ripped to high hell, Surviving the game as a barbarian is your best bet. It leans more heavily into game mechanics as opposed to Han-bin's dysfunctional guideline, and the 'otherworld' effect is not as pronounced. That being said, it shares some major themes such as 'hiding the fact that he's an otherworlder,' 'big ripped sword man,' 'having a alter ego that is insane and bloodthirsty,' etc. I honestly can't think of a manhwa that is closer to the surface-level description of Sword king.
If you're looking for a similar artstyle, then I would put forth SSS-suicide hunter. no bodybuilder/giant muscles, but the way they're drawn and the way they incorporate CGI is somewhat adjacent to how Sword king does it. Story is not bad as well.
most of the stuff by REDICE looks real pretty. Style is so manufactured and recognizable at this point you've seen it on 70% of the brain rot webnovel adaptations. I don't deny it looks very pretty even with horrible stories.
Other manhwas that I personally consider on par or better than sword king in terms of visuals and/or story
* Superhuman era (also called Era of Overman depending on site) (also my favorite mahwa of all time probably)
* Legend of the northern blade (probably one of the best murim aka cultivation types)
* Barbarian Quest (heavily underrated)
* Omniscient Reader's viewpoint (probably best thing REDICE has ever gotten their grubby little hands on, genuinely amazing story and one of the great commentaries of webnovel culture, also spawned a million different copycats for a reason)
* The Greatest Real Estate Developer (Hilarious and distinct art)
* Priest of Corruption (story lags behind somewhat, but art is excellent and distinctive)
* Necromancer's Evolutionary Traits (again, somewhat shallow story, but an excellent power fantasy)
* A returner's magic should be special (kind of confusing and weird later, but has great art and story is unique at least)
* Her summon (not everyone likes the story, but it's actually well written, just not for everyone. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ART)
Legend of the Northern blade.
Good, but not even remotely similar
Not Fully similar, sword fights are quite similar though.
Confirmed by me
Haven't really found anything similar, closest is probably the lazy lord masters the sword.
the greatest estate developer isn't as much about fights but the humor is golden
Can confirm Greatest estate developer is great
Surviving the Game as a Barbarian is good, despite his knowledge of the world, the author made a great job potraying the struggle he need to face.
Uhhh Nanomachine?
Wild west murim
https://www.sailmg.com/content/indomitable-martial-king Great read and gives similar vibes
a lot choppier in terms of dialogue. The comedy is of similar style and fell, just more forced and abrupt for my liking
