it's exactly as the list name says. the bromance/close friends (who are coincidentally pretty strong/good-looking) is prominent in these novels and romance is non-existent or at a minimum (i'll mention it if otherwise). these are largely strong mc in some manner and action-y (there's always some aim imo)... more>>
