I'd have to say Holyland. I was expecting it to either be Puny guy goes from getting kicked about to Kamekameha-ing people through a window; that or being exceptionally realistically boring. But I have to say it was pretty great. Nothing felt forced or contrived, there was a decent amount of accurate fighting knowledge, the characters were deep but not literature deep, rather realistically deep. It didn't blow things out of proportion and physicality wasn't the only obstacle that the MC faced.
The other would have to be Tower Of God, not a manga, it's a manhwa, and a webtoon at that. I didn't expect all that much, I simply decided to start on it since I was immensely bored and stuck in bed whether I liked it or not. I have to say that the author did an exceptional job at building his own world, a world that was both easy to understand yet complex so as to allow for various plot devices and of course fan speculation. Characters were pretty good not the average stereotypical stuff, art was well a webtoon, and not the best drawn webtoon out there, but the setting was immense. I don't think I've seen any ass pulls in this manga. I've read somewhere that Mangaka's put tons of foreshadowing into their work, some that many will work out, some that few will work out, and some that only the tiniest proportion will work out, I'm not sure whether or not the guy who wrote this was spouting crap or the truth. For most Manga's/Manhwa I can say that's a total blatant lie, for Tower of God I honestly believe it's true. ToG uses tons of foreshadowing and it uses the fact that it's a webtoon, and thus written in colour, to its absolute advantage.
