Well I have done a fare share of reading of romance and harem novel but I think that’s not really my cup of tea so this list are for those who are just like me.... more>>

But before starting let me tell you there will be few books added here which I have not completely finished reading. I will mention it.

Fact about this reading list is that all the book added here will be completed because I personally only read completed novels. 

Secondly, I will keep on updating this list though it will take time <<less

I started my webnovel journey with some amazing Wuxia novels. These stories opened up a whole new world for me, and I think they'll do the same for you.... more>>

I just want to share my favorites. This is my perspective, so if you disagree, that's okay. I'm just here to recommend some great books that I love.

Happy reading! <<less

novels (good or bad) with zero romance - if theres even a hint of romance i will mention... more>>

not in any particular order, just whichever i remember to put on the list first - scores are mostly based on my enjoyment from the novel rather than objectivity

i dont add ones i havent completed or at least made significant progress into

if u want to know anything more in detail about any book just msg me <<less

No description.

No description.

The best books I have ever stumbled across [in no particular order].
You can comment books you believe are the best you have seen yet (although this is only relative) for others to also read.
The books you should comment should fulfill at least one of these criteria:
— The best of their genre.
— A diamond in the rough.
— So unique that they are a breath of fresh air.
— They are one of the most fascinating read on the internet.... more>>

Unfortunately, this list only includes CN, JP, KR that have been translated. Because of this, it won't include other extremely good webnovels that are written outside the three category (CN,JP,KR).

Some books like that are: Chrysalis, Tyranny of Steel and so on. They are worthy of being on this list but they don't fall under the three categories.

Those added to this list or commented must be truly worthy of being called, Peak Fiction.

(I will continue to add more peak Fiction as I find them over the years.) <<less

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

For personal reference/rereading. Mostly plot focus & serious favs, with solid writing/characterisations/overarching plot. Any pairings (mostly bl/het), but not many harem/stallion novels. Mostly CN/KR novels for dialogue. Roughly sorted, many genres, no/low spoilers.... more>>

Personal genre/trait favs: comedy, tragedy, historical, mystery, psychological, scifi, realistic, mature, bittersweet, wuxia, delinquents, strategies/war, empire building, betrayal, food.   <<less

My opinion on Every Novel I've read in this site. Complete or Dropped. CN and KR only, no JP web or LN.

novels I've personally completed... more>>

This isnt a recommendation list, but I'm too lazy to change it to a reading list. <<less

Genre: Historical, Xianxia, Wuxia, Xuanhuan

I hate romance. 

Novels that I enjoyed and believe others would enjoy as well.

List of novels I've come across, as far as I could remember, in no particular order(Wish I did this when I first started reading novels so I could list everything I've dropped/loved)... more>>

Note: This isn't really a recommendation list. As mentioned in the title, I'll only mention if it's good or bad with no particular explanation because this list is mostly for me... and that I most probably forgot the details on the novels listed here lmfao. 

Most of the "On hold" are novels that has something I don't like(petty or not... well, mostly petty since I'm petty) which makes me stop reading, but put on hold in case I want to read it again(is what I had in mind). It just accumulated because whenever I try to continue to read some it just makes me remember why I put it on hold in the first place and stop reading it entirely, but still have enough hope to not drop it.

Not on NU:

Teaching Heroes Might and Magic (Wanna read) (Hiatus)

I Don't Want To Court Death (Ch. 72) (Good) (Hiatus)

Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (Ch. 255) (On hold) (Good) 

Abyssal Lord of the Magi World (Ch 105) (Dropped, prophecy bs)

Unnamed god (Ch. 168) (On hold)

Immortal's wine store (Vol. 1 Ch. 131) (On hold)

Inexorable chaos (Ch. 100) (On hold)

Dual cultivation (Ch. 725) (On hold)

Supreme magus (Ch. 32) (On hold) <<less

I don't read much harem though I will insert some of it in here. I will only add novels that I truly truly like and... more>> the ones that makes me insomniac because I keep thinking about them. You know, novels that always lingers in your head and makes you laugh creepily all by yourself. Please note that this is just a list based on my preferences. And don't evaluate them by their numbers.  <<less

These are all of my favorites. They range from cute love stories to suspenseful action. Take a look if you’d like.

Chinese and Korean Wuxia novels I have read/reading. Chapters might be off as I use a different website to read all these novels.

Not in any order 

little to no romance

(There's a second list, just add a 2 to the name of this list and you'll find it) ... more>>

There are too many novels with cliché romance and harems with annoyingly useless girls. Reading them gets extremely tiring. There are too few novels with absolutely no form of romance or harem. Here are some novels I've found to not have romance/harem or have an harem/romance theme that didn't affect the plot of the novel to the point of it being annoying. 

Feel free to recommend novels that fit the criteria, arigatou^o^

P. S. I haven't read all the novels in this list so I might not be accurate in judging them. And there are some I've read but didn't finish and the novel ended up having romance or harem elements in a later chapter, please feel free to correct me anytime you see that I wasn't accurate. Arigatou minna-san <<less
