What are some manga/manwha/manhua/webcomics that share plots similar to (or are based on) famous classics? An example might be Claudine...! and The Well of Loneliness.

Well, there is Gankutsuou which is an adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo.

Romeo x Juliet is pretty self-explanatory.

Though really, you can just search the tag "Based on a Classic".

The only one I remember, that is not marked with that tag, is Hellsing, which could be considered a modern day fanfic-continuation of Dracula. By its own right, it is a decent length Seinen which is both funny and very brutal.

Chronicles of the Grim peddler - lots of common fairytales with a twist, like red riding hood, hansel and gretel etc
Evyione - Like the little mermaid but switched, merman with female human
Dear my Girls - I think is based on a classic?? Little woman or something? (I'm not familiar with the classic)
