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

There’s so many novels here. Now I am making a third list. ... more>>

I rate these a high, mid, low skibidi depending on my overall review of them. Plot, characters, lore, writing and translation included. This isn’t a list of stories I’ve read but added to read later and rate.

Mostly Chinese and some Korean <<less

A collection of Korean novels that I have read and completely loved.

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

Novels with male protagonists — mostly action and adventure genre.

This is a collection of novels adapted from or was the original of some of the webtoons/mangas I've read. Or anime watched.

No description.

These novels that is tolerable with male protagonist in it. A good world-building without harem; it abides reasons with deep world setting.

completed translated korean novels with a male protagonist part 1... more>>

no short novels <<less

You know this genre. People awaken superpowers and are called Hunters/Awakeners/Players/Rankers/etc, and monsters and/or mutated creatures invade Earth. Also there are gates to other dimensions and/or a tower where each floor is a dungeon and/or regular places suddenly become dungeons. May also include beings from other dimensions who started this nonsense for their own self-interests.... more>>

May include series that aren't *quite* this genre but are close enough. Includes both romance and non-romance.

Mostly Korean Novel.

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
