hey people. i would like to read some more manga.
would you like to give me some recommendation ?
I prefer shounen/seinen manga with good plot and art, has a good character and non idiot main-protagonist, and new released (maybe only up to right n 100 chapter)
I prefer action genre. maybe fighting/adventure with a lot of murder and blood
but, other genre (except Yaoi ) is okay as long as it's a good manga
this is the list of manga i'm reading and finished :

hmm, recs from your wish list:
Ajin: I wasn't expecting much but this one really surprised me (now I wait anxiously for updates)
Liar Game: Great plot, great character development, very very interesting
Ubel blatt: I'm a sucker for revenge plots.. plus I love the premise and the characters
Rain: it's good and interesting, good enough to wait till it's completely scanted and then read it all at once
Shibatora: definitely good, with good twists. now that it's completely scanlated you won't have to suffer between releases
Yakitate: stupid funny. good but not as good as the others
Zetman: interesting. not "oh damn, I gotta read the next chapter, like, NOW" interesting, but good nonetheless (or maybe that's just 'cause I haven't read it in a while )
I second Vinland Saga. ES is good too, but VS is better. And it's got vikings (and revenge!)
Ares - for some reason not everyone likes the art.. but it's bloody and it's set in times of war and it's got intrigue and a good plot and it's good
Blood Lad - strong mc, I don't remember if he's an idiot or not, it depends on your definition...
Historie - not much fighting, more smartness than anything
[m]Jormugand[/m] - interesting
Musashi #9 - really really good. spy that protects the world
Azumi - ninja, I guess. maybe you'd like it
Ichi - although I hated the ending, it was good while it lasted. Gorgeous art too
Itsuwaribito Utsuho - outsmarting people
Kaiouki - still not at a point I can tell you what it's exactly about, but so far so good
Luck stealer - assassin that kills people by stealing their luck
Nanatsu no Taizai - super strong mc. sort of a pervert, but that's not being an idiot
Nobunaga no Chef - not about fighting but it's really interesting
Vagabond - good, and my favourite manga art ever
Song of the Long March - once again, not bloody, more battle of wits
and if you don't mind webtoons
Noblesse - super strong op mc (art changes a lot throughout the story)
Godly Bells - smart mc
City of Dead Sorcerer - revenge, and the mc is.... a serial killer!
Ability - full of action
sorry, not all of them are bloody (actually, most of them aren't that bloody) but they all have at least good plot, good character development and non idiot MCs

Lasboss x Hero - Mangaka gets trapped in his own shounen manga and ends up being a secret bad guy. Makes fun of a lot of shounen tropes and cliches. Probably one of the few mangas with ecchi that I will actually read. Picks up around chapter 4, I think. You'll learn to love the bad guys in this, lol.
Rex Fabula - Despite being labeled as shoujo (because it's in a shoujo magazine), it's pretty action-y and the male lead is badass. He reminds me of a slightly less evil Light Yagami (from Death note) who's obsessed with control. I like arrogant leads.
Ajin - You should read since it's on your wish list. It also caught me of guard with how much I like this, despite it not being my thing to read these kinds of stories (not a fan of "monster" mangas). Probably would have never read it if I had not got recommendations on this.
Attack on Titan - Same feel as Ajin (in terms of plot). While the MC is rather hot-blooded, everyone around him is actually quite cool-headed. Funny thing is, despite being so hot-headed, MC generally gets put in his place a lot of times. I only read the manga where the anime left off. IMO, totally worth the hype. Also one of the more bloodier mangas with characters dying left and right.
7 Seeds - Also worth a second look. Primarily action and character driven. I think I put it on hold around volume 9-12 because I got tired of waiting for releases (scanlators are now up to volume 25!). Anyways, there's a big cast and you get tons of character growth, post-apocalyptic survival style. Beginning does drag a bit and characters are annoying at first. So maybe read it later on when you're feeling patient.
RG Veda or X/1999 - Oldies but goodies from CLAMP, if you don't mind some BL subtext here and there (it's nothing really major, but some guys get bothered by it). If you read CLAMP, there's generally themes of duality, tragedy, and fate. Anticipate character death. Both of them are quite violent actually. X/1999 in particular had a lot of controversy about certain scenes. Super spoiler:
Webcomics (they're great and update rather frequently):
Tower of God - Must read for everyone. Well-plotted. (Don't let the first couple of chapters turn you off.) Feels like the author already wrote the story from beginning to end. Doesn't feel like author is pulling plot out of ass. It has action, but characters are not brainless fighters constantly fighting the next strongest bad. Great character development and wide cast. Has a pretty epic feel. And for the love of god, don't read any forums or comments on this manhwa until you finish season 1. Seriously, people cannot keep their mouth shut about it and even if they're trying, they'll slip. The impact of it is a billion times greater if you didn't see it coming or even if you just suspect it. (But it's quite different if you got it spoiled.)
Kubera - If you like Tower of God, you'll probably like this. Fantasy adventure with hints of romance (TOG has pretty much no romance).
Noblesse - Vampires done right. The main character and his servant are OP as hell. It's also surprisingly funny.
Black Haze - Smug badass main character is a famous magician. Goes undercover in a magic school for a pretty simple mission that turns a bit complicated. Read this until you reach the school parts before you decide to drop. This manhwa has made me understand the agony of biweekley (rather than weekly, which is more common with webcomics) releases.
The Gamer - Must read if you play video games, especially RPGs. Hilarious take on "RPG powers."
DICE: The Cube that Changes Everything - Very similar to above, but less light-hearted and more messed up.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
A graphic depiction of a female character's death with decapitation. I don't really see what's the big deal, but I guess it was at a time when this wasn't done? Or maybe 'cause it was in a shoujo magazine?
X/1999 is actually my favorite CLAMP work, it's such a shame that it's on indefinite hiatus due to certain things in Japan (again, controversy). The end of the world just keeps getting pushed back, just like in real life, lol. Nothing was held back in that manga. Webcomics (they're great and update rather frequently):
