Immortal's Way of Life
Last updated:
Who is this for: Villains Are Destined to Die and The Nebula's Civilization readers who want political mystery and immortal lore instead of progression grind.
The Premise (No Spoilers)
Roberta, a priestess of the Public Church, receives assignment as head priest of Dietmarschen — a frozen border territory where her predecessor disappeared without explanation. She begins investigating Duke Ulrich, the region’s ruler for over three hundred years by local record. Ulrich admits he is immortal, living spans no ordinary human should survive. Roberta follows his history through church archives, witness accounts, and frontier politics, unsure whether she exposes a monster, a saint, or something the church prefers buried.
Aggregator sites use Immortal’s Way of Life and To Live as an Immortal for the Naver series (불로불사로 산다는 것은). No licensed English webtoon exists as of mid-2026.
What Makes It Work
Fantasy manhwa often front-load combat to retain readers. This series invests in investigation rhythm — Roberta interviews retainers, compares contradictory chronicles, and maps Duke Ulrich’s decisions across centuries. Immortality becomes a political problem: how does a border hold when its lord outlives every alliance treaty?
Visual tone supports mystery over spectacle — northern landscapes and candlelit archive scenes carry tension without requiring weekly boss fights.
Where It Stumbles
Seventeen episodes establish mood but not resolution — readers seeking closure on Ulrich’s nature must commit to a young serialization. Action-forward fans should pair this with Return of the Mount Hua Sect for martial payoff between mystery chapters.
Do not confuse this webtoon with unrelated Naver novels sharing similar Korean immortal-life keywords — our review covers 불로불사로 산다는 것은 only.
Who Should Read This
Villains Are Destined to Die readers wanting gothic investigation instead of otome routes should try the first Naver arc. Nebula’s Civilization fans get world-scale stakes through diplomacy rather than logistics sims.
