6 Dumbest Isekai Manhwa Characters Decisions, Ranked

Key Takeaways

  • Isekai MCs make dumb decisions, like repeating past mistakes, antagonizing everyone, and entrusting the wrong people with crucial information.
  • Characters like Arthur, Monster, and Han Hari suffer dire consequences due to their foolish choices in different fantasy worlds.
  • From allowing enemies to escape out of arrogance to ignoring potential threats, these characters struggle with poor decision-making skills.

As I delve into these captivating tales of reincarnation and newfound worlds, I can’t help but marvel at the peculiar lives our protagonists find themselves in. In the case of Baek Yu-Seol, it seems fate has a twisted sense of humor. A Korean gamer transported into his favorite game, only to become the least desirable character with the steepest learning curve! Knowing the game inside out should’ve been an advantage, but instead, he makes decisions that would make even the most casual player cringe. And then there’s Park Byung-Jang, a man who not only died in a training drill but also managed to insult a Goddess on his first day of reincarnation! I can just imagine her rolling her celestial eyes and thinking, “Oh great, another one…”

Have you sometimes pondered over the question of why characters in Isekai Manga seem to consistently make poor choices? When immersed in a captivating fantasy tale about individuals transported to another realm, we frequently encounter instances where characters act impulsively, leading to disastrous results for the narrative.

These are the dumbest Isekai MC decisions ranked: From the foolish idea of thinking that repeating past life mistakes will throw better results this time to the utterly infamous and cliché decision of antagonizing everyone in the new world just because.

In the series TBATE, Arthur Leywin is infamous for a streak of poor decisions, one of which really frustrates readers. Previously, as King Grey in his past life before being transferred to another world, Arthur opted for a solitary existence and relied solely on his own strength. Despite undergoing significant character development and theoretically learning the lesson that unity enhances power, he persisted in making the same mistake again.

During the Dicathian War Arc, Arthur persists in going it alone, despite his lifelong regret of solitude and putting everyone at risk by making them wage war without backup. Repeating past errors, hoping for a different outcome, can be seen as one of this character’s most foolish decisions yet.

6 Monster (I Became An Evolving Space Monster)

Allowing A Person With Information On How To Kill Him To Escape

In a Sci-Fi simulation game world, our character is born anew as a xenomorph alien. He soon discovers his new identity and begins to slaughter the crew of the research vessel he’s on to advance. Unbeknownst to him, some of these crew members, particularly the captain, are involved in clandestine activities: they aim to secretly transfer sensitive information to one of the galaxy’s most powerful corporations.

Following the Monster consuming nearly half the ship’s crew, the pirate associates stormed the vessel while the captain was preoccupied with gathering genetic samples to enhance the creature. In his haste, the Research Vessel’s captain embarked on an escape pod and fled, a decision that would later prove disastrously unwise. As he escaped, he secured all footage and battle data about The Monster for safekeeping and likely plans to develop a strategy to combat it in the future. This manhwa contains graphic depictions of violence and gore, as well as instances of questionable decision-making.

5 Han Hari (The Knight King Who Returned With A God)

Being Tremendously Oblivious, Getting Scammed By Her Companions

Upon the arrival of the emissary from the Justice Deities, King Leon Dragonia Leonhart, it is the South Korean administration that initiates contact via the Korean Enlightenment Association. In response, they decide to dispatch the somewhat scatterbrained Han Hari to handle this matter.

The young officer of the Korean association has no better idea than to offer herself as a volunteer to play the mascot (literally wears a lion costume all the time) of the Pantheon guild, knowing that this will tarnish her reputation. Lately, another bad decision she makes is to entrust all her retirement funds to Sir Spinner (a killer Robot turned Knight) who is obviously creating a Ponzi scheme to divert all the funds into weapon research for the guild. All points out to her being the most clueless character in the manhwa.

4 Park Sooho (The Druid From Seoul Station)

Allowing His Mortal Enemy To Escape Out Of Pure Arrogance

In a mysterious realm devoid of a name, Sooho Park was exiled for a millennium. This world teemed with untamed wildlife, and during his stay, he grew stronger than even the mightiest beast’s king. Upon his return to Earth, specifically Korea, his power and uniqueness were soon recognized by the Awakeners, labeling him an “irregular” – someone whose abilities outstripped conventional measurement methods.

Following the establishment of his own guild (The Guardian Guild), Sooho encountered swift opposition from Hiro, an influential awakened individual from Japan who was actually manipulating time to leverage future knowledge for fame and power. Perceiving Sooho as a threat, Hiro attempted to eliminate him in a one-on-one official duel but failed, exposing his true nature: a Half Demon. However, the unexpected happens when Sooho allows this powerful and potentially dangerous awakened being to escape, fully aware that he will seek revenge. This decision puts all of Earth’s lives at risk since Sooho is now exposed as corrupt and intent on taking vengeance upon a society that knows his true identity. Readers might find it challenging to understand why the main character (MC) would let this villain live.

2 Baek Yu-Seol (Magic Academy’s Genius Blinker)

Ignoring A Possible Threat To His Life Instead Of Confronting Her

In a twist of fate, I find myself transported into my cherished virtual world, Magic Academy World, assuming the character of Baek Yu-Seol – arguably the most challenging choice among all characters. Yet, being intimately familiar with this game and its intricacies, I am uniquely positioned to unlock Yu-Seol’s full potential and soar to unparalleled heights.

As it turns out, one of the principal characters, Flame, has been reincarnated before, a fact that the other character, Baek Yu-Seol, does not yet know. Throughout the main storyline, he chose to conceal this truth and let her continue on her own path. This secretive approach could lead Flame to view him as an adversary, potentially leading her to try to eliminate him. In the Alchemy Exam arc’s conclusion, Flame is seen conspiring with a student named Hae Wonryang, who inquires if she harbors any concerns. She admits that Baek Yu-Seol is causing her distress. This revelation certainly foreshadows a significant amount of turmoil. Moreover, it appears that Flame intends to eliminate him since she sees him as an obstacle to her objectives. As the old saying goes: keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer.

1 Park Byung-Jang Reincarnation Of The Veteran Soldier

Making Enemies Every Time He Opens His Mouth

1. Park Byung-Jang was both a lackluster and indolent member of the Reservist Corps and a disappointing reincarnate. During a training exercise, he met his end prematurely, but readers who believe this is the most foolish act our main character will ever make are in for a rollercoaster ride. Moments after being welcomed into the Goddess’s realm to be reborn, he rudely rebukes her and refuses to fulfill the role of savior, enraging the deity and casting him into a perilous land without preparation. His only assets are his military skills, a shovel, and an abundance of plot protection to shield him from untimely demise.

Despite facing seemingly insurmountable odds, this individual miraculously persists and captures the scorn of the deity’s followers who label him as “a demon” due to his habitual blasphemy against the Goddess. Continuing down a path of folly, he antagonizes nearly everyone he meets and barely escapes death by the skin of his teeth. It remains puzzling how such an individual manages to remain alive while consistently making the most disastrous choices throughout his odyssey. He even took it upon himself to join an organization that openly defies the dominant religion of the world, fully aware that he was challenging a being with the power to eradicate him instantaneously. His overconfidence will likely prove to be his undoing, as he struggles to adapt and conform to the prevailing circumstances.
