Centered in a strong-willed man's story.

Stuff that I read or want to read cause it sounds weirdly entrancing

Different Genres, order not sorted. To read later.

Novels with a pretty good manwha/manhua adaptation. Mostly action fantasy.... more>>

Caution!! Wish I could say these are noCP, but a lot of them are tagged with romantic subplot/harem. :')) <<less

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

Anything that catches my eye, from bl to action. Everything except harems lol

No description.

Collection of Chinese, Japanese, Korean novels I've read or currently reading, centered around a male MC without a harem. That's right, who has time for girls/women/lolis when a whole adventure (sleuth of problems?) awaits.... more>>

Disclaimer: Some of these novels are still ongoing while some works are complete but in progress of being translated. If I see the beginnings of a harem, it's sure to be off this list.

Removed: Academy's Undercover Professor <<less

No romantic drama, no yaoi, no villainess, no nonsense. Pretty much only action, adventure, and progression fantasy here. <<less

Check title for date of latest addition Year/Month/Day... more>>

There are some female MCs on here as well. Mind the notes to avoid them.

You can also check the comment section where I will post Chinese novels that do not have a translation yet, and thus cannot be added to this list yet. There is also a comment for English originals from RR and SH.
