I don't seem to find a topic for this, either no one is interested or no one reads it.

Anyone out there who does.. besides myself?

What is worth reading these days, other than ones which have been converted into anime?

I'm into a lot of fighting, supernatural, isekai, reincarnation, cultivation, comedy etc.

Ones i have read and recommend (if you can ignore some of the controversial aspects)

Matial Peak
Tales of Demons and Gods
Yuan Zun
The World After the Fall
The Beginning After the End
Peerless Battle Spirit
Nano Machine
Peach Boy Riverside
Magic Emperor
Apotheosis
Darwins Game
Deatte 5 Byou De Battle

Too many to count

I've not read manga actively in years now, but my most favourite manga is and always will be Berserk. Very adult in all aspects (violence, story, assaults of various kinds), so if you're opposed to any of that, don't start it.

Junji Ito stuff in general is good if you're into very weird horror and the macabre. I have a bunch of his releases, but I get a bit overwhelmed trying to keep up, as every time I go to the manga store, there's some new omnibus or book of his on the shelf. Makes it really hard to keep track and collect.

Uzumaki is definitely a classic of his. As is Tomie.

I've always loved this duality meme

Solo Levelling is good

I'll take a look at 'Everyone else is a returnee.

I'm mainly looks for ones which have not released/will not be releasing a anime adaptation. Don't get me wrong, both are good and would be good with an anime.

And while i enjoy manga, its more enjoyable if they were all coloured like manhua and manwa

An older one but still fun is Genshiken, manga/anime/games club, with some great characters and arcs starting when a first year joins the club and basically following through to his graduation from uni from memory.

IIRC it got two anime seasons, and the fictional anime they nerd over actually got an OVA that was released across the two anime season sets if my memory serves.

And for something very different The apothecary diaries, about a young woman who is a pharmacist and basically ends up in the court of the Chinese emperor as a serving girl/maid to one of the concubines. It's sort of sherlock Holmes meets ancient Chinese imperial court intrigue. They've released a bunch of the manga, a few light novels and IIRC a second anime season has been announced.
