This isn't your typical cold, stoic protagonist. This is about an ordinary human who gets laughed at (by us) for clinging to soft ideals -... more>> kindness, compassion and faith in people. But they still achieved a critical hit in me- these strategic ordinary guys play the long game, choosing their actions that fit these ideals in a way that makes me want to do the same. Weird and foolish to do these in this self-centered world but that's how they play and somehow, I want to as well.  <<less

Ranges from action to horror. Little to no romance/ harems. Mc needs to have a decent personality or reasonable reactions to situations, none of those... more>> “cold” for no reason mc’s. Found family is a wonderful trope. <<less

Crime and thriller reads

Figured I would dump everything I’ve read so I know if I read it and in case anyone has similar tastes to me and would like recommendations. ... more>>

I will add small reviews based off my very poor memory in the future.

Heavy yuri, angst, fluff, and OP protagonists. It is mostly tops when it comes to relationship dynamics. 

1-50: pretty much only Yuri 

50-78: mixed bag of fantasy, tragedy, action and some villain MC’s 

78-100: things I didn't sort, am currently reading or just found memorable for various reasons. <<less

where the MC is constantly growing, realising new things and overcoming limits. The focus on growth with romance as a side dish

Realistic but optimistic MCs. It's not about feeling good for a short while by face slapping or showing off to others. It's about personal growth,... more>> self love and finding internal joy.  <<less

The one's I've added in this are the ones I've read by myself.

Here's a list of novels you might enjoy if you, like me, want to read some good stories that don't force an unnecessary & underdeveloped romance subplot where it isn't needed.... more>>

So these stories will have minimal to no romance, and I despise the harem trope in general. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for good bromance/brotherhood/friendship/found family stories. I also won't add any series to the list that I haven't personally read.

I decided to create this list because I've seen many similar 'no romance' lists on the site from which I've gotten many great recommendations to the point they have now become my go-to sources for new novels.

- - - - - - - - - - -

I'll be trying to organize the list based on how good I personally think the books are, but I'm only really certain about the first 4 being my favorites, the list then gets quite ambiguous, but I personally really like everything on the first page.

In the descriptions, I'll include how many chapters of the series I have read as well as how much romance there has been up until where I've read, as well as additional thoughts/opinions/warnings that I might have about the series.

I'll try to update the list whenever I find another good series to add. If you know of any series you think I'd like based on my list I'm more than open to suggestions! 

UPDATED MAR 18TH: Added "Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master" to the list. <<less
