Here I will summarize the plots of the various Manhwas and Webtoons that I will use for my fanfic, focusing on the most relevant ones, along with the characters and images of each.
I will also include information about the OC (Original Characters) and some reference images.

SILENT WAR (Genres: Slice of Life, Tragedy, Conspiracies)
This manhwa follows Hyun, a 20-year-old recent graduate with a weak character who is forced to remain in the group of Gunner, his schoolmate, and watch as Gunner takes everything for himself, from Hyun's meager earnings to the women he desires.
However, a turning point causes Hyun to radically change his lifestyle and decide to take everything from his abuser, entering a kind of 'silent war' where sex and gambling drive the story.
(Note: The plot of this manhwa unfolds when all the characters have finished school, with only small flashbacks to their school life. I will focus my story before the canon, before Gunner has slept with all the women.)
Sung Hyun: The protagonist of this story, who from high school has always been a man of little worth, resigning himself to being used and abused just to be close to his first love, Woo Mia.
Cheo Gunner: The co-protagonist of this manhwa. A red-haired, heavily built guy with abnormal strength. He abuses Hyun and exploits all the women in the story, forcing them into prostitution for money.
Min Sophie: A fiery-tempered girl with yellow hair who was in love with Gunner in high school but is now just a sex friend. She hates being replaced by Mia.
Woo Mia: A brown-haired girl who, in the manhwa, is Gunner's girlfriend. She is Hyun's love interest.
Hong Anna: A black-haired girl and Sophie's best friend. In the manhwa, She is convinced by Gunner to prostitute herself to earn money for him.

BEAUTIFUL NEW WORLD (Genres: Modern, Tragedy, Conspiracies)
This manhwa follows Li Haocheng, an unattractive man who works at one of Korea's most powerful companies and seems to be constantly dealt a bad hand by life. By chance, he gets involved in an accident with his boss, starting a story of blackmail and uncontrolled sex, along with a conspiracy to take control of the company.
Personally, among all the 'porhwas' I've read, this one has some of the best art, worth reading for that alone. xD
(Note: I will focus the story of this manhwa before the canon, before boss Mi-Jung started working at the company where the plot unfolds.)
Li Haocheng: The protagonist of this story, who will not appear in my fanfic.
Kim Mi-jung: Haocheng's boss, a woman who, in the original plot, used various methods to reach her current position, all to give her daughter a good life.
Uju Corp (Woojoo or Cosmos): The company where Mi-jung and Haocheng work, one of the most important in Korea.
Cha Doo-chul: The president of Uju Corp. An old man with enough power to become untouchable. He has a penchant for creating his own harem of beautiful women.
Cha Jun-Hee: Legitimate daughter of Cha Doo-chul. She is an arrogant girl who hates her unacknowledged sister because of her father's actions. She has a deep distrust of men.
Jin Seo-lin: Illegitimate daughter of Cha Doo-chul, a blonde girl who tries to fit in with her sister to get along.
Ahn So-mi: A dark-skinned friend of Jun-hee and Seo-lin.

SOLO LEVELING (Genres: Supernatural, Magic, Fighting, Dungeons)
Perhaps the most well-known story among Webtoons and manhwas in recent times, it even has an anime produced by a Japanese company. Of all the manhwas I've included, this is the one I recommend reading as it is complete and very captivating.
The plot centers on a series of 'portals' or 'dungeons' that begin to appear worldwide. Various monsters emerge from these portals, terrorizing the population, and conventional defenses are ineffective against these creatures.
Only 'hunters,' special humans who have awakened a unique power, can face these monsters. These hunters are classified from the weakest (E) to the strongest (S).
In this webtoon, we follow the story of Sung Jin-woo, the protagonist, who is an E-rank hunter, the weakest of all. The plot begins when Jin-woo is about to die and inherits a system that saves him from death. Not only that, but it also allows his abnormal growth to the top of the world, but all at the cost of preparing for an ancient and terrible plan.
(Note: I will take the story that is after the canon, which can be read in the novel as 'after histories' that are just starting to be published in webtoon format.)
Sung Jin-Woo: The protagonist of this story. He starts as a weak individual but gradually becomes the strongest of all. After becoming the most powerful being, he resets time to when there were no 'dungeons,' and people never experienced those events.
Woo Jin-Chul: During the story, he was the strongest A-rank hunter. Currently, he is a detective in the murder division of the police investigation department.

The story is about a middle-aged man who has a daughter in high school. This daughter suffers bullying from a wealthy girl. In a street fight, the man's daughter is severely injured and appears to be dead, prompting the responsible parties to dispose of the body.
Upon learning of this, the middle-aged man, Manager Kim, decides to take justice into his own hands, revealing his shocking past to do so.
(Note: The author of this manhwa has other works within the same universe, so they can be connected with each other. These works are Lookism, Life as loser, Faith coin, Lunchtime dad, Quest Supermacy, How To Figh, among others that I don't remember)
Manager Kim: The protagonist of this story. He is an element of the army who had several infiltration and assassination missions in various countries such as Russia, China, North Korea, etc. He has spent the last few years hiding under a false identity.
Kim Min-ji: Manager Kim's daughter.
Alexander Alyssa: She is a soldier specializing in combat and long-range weapons, such as the sniper rifle.
