Is unhumbly a real word?

No, but you could try proudly, boastfully or haughtily instead - those all mean the opposite of humbly.

If you like it, and if it does the job you want, why not? If enough people like it and use it long enough, it will end up in the dictionary- like "unhappily", which does not seem to offer markedly better credentials.
Edit - Finding myself swamped by a flood of conformity, I resorted to the refuge of conformists - the dictionary. The main definition of "word" is: A speech sound or series of speech sounds that symbolizes and communicates a meaning without being divisible into smaller units capable of independent use.
I revise my answer to an unequivocal "Yes."

No, unhumbly is not a word. Arrogantly, proudly, boldly, brashly are all real words and appropriate alternatives to the opposite of humbly.

I have not heard this word ever before and think that grammatically it is not correct. The opposite to humble is proud so it can be used.

I do not think so but there is humble humbler, humbled and in this case the comparative and superlative would be more or less least or most

No, it is not. Why? Un- is used as a prefix for verbs, not adjectives (which humble is). Therefore, unhumbly is not a word.

precis such issues as words are not any further authentic, they're precis. Non-precis issues are authentic. once you will be like all philosophical and deep, it helps to actual study some philosophy.
