This is a list of novels I read; dropped, finished or still read

I’m someone who dislikes romance and harem—it's not because I'm forever single xD, but because WOMEN ARE SO DAMN HARD TO KILL!!! OMG come on....!!!... more>>

I know this clashes with reality since most readers love female characters, but that’s exactly why I avoid romance. At
the very least, if killing women is too difficult, then keep them far away from the MC!

That’s why this list only includes manhwa/manhua with ZERO romance by the final chapter. How do I know? By using AI, of course :V—you think I’ve got no life to read every novel? :V The criteria? The criteria? CHECK AROUND THE NOVEL'S ENDING CHAPTERS!. Why? Because if there’s a girl close to the MC (romance), IT SHOULD SHOW UP BY THE
END RIGHT ??!!!! DUH :))))))**

If not, are women really this lowly :( ? Why do so many of them always
need to be saved or helped?, etc. :(

Zero romance = no wives, no marriage, MC has zero interest in anyone. List may not be perfect, but close enough!

OH AND LET'S DO MANHWA FIRST IN THIS LIST, MANHUA CAN COME LATER :) Because at least manhwa somewhat respects female characters, unlike manhua :)

AND I'M ALSO OPEN TO CRITICISM OR COMMENTS ABOUT THIS LIST, OKAY :) <<less

Lotta power fantasy here

All web/light novels I classify as action-adventure-fantasy.

Here's list of some novels that I've read and I think it was okay. It wasn't bad per se, it's just they lack some charm... more>> to keep me hooked. Still, it was nice enough to pass time if you're really bored and already exhaust all the masterpieces title out there. <<less

1 to 28: Novels I read completely (if not ongoing), sorted in order of personal preference.... more>>

29 to ?: Novels I plan on reading in the future, not sorted.

Male centric (male protagonist) novels in both modern and ancient settings, no BL unless it's a little bromance (meaning, author may have added a dash of bromance for fan service, but no actual shounen ai or yaoi included in this list). Shounen, seinen, xuanhuan, no-CP (no romance) or novels featuring a little straight romance but mostly focused on action/adventure (ie, romantic subplot). A few of these have romantic relationships detailed in extras only, such as Chronicles of Primordial Wars and Everyone Else is a Returnee. Thus, if you dislike romance or harem you can simply skip the epliogue/extras portion altogether.

Majority of these had fan translations completed at some point, so you can find them on various novel aggregator websites if the chapter links are gone from NU. Otherwise it's not bad to MTL them for yourself. <<less

Some truly great webnovels.

No Harem, no Villain/Antihero Mc, and more than 100 chapters novels

Mostly Korean Novel.

This list is for people, like me, who are tired of romance and just want to read a good story.

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
