Tsukkin's "no love & lust" List

Tsukkin's "no love & lust" List
Here some of my favorite novels, i tend to like novel without romance, harem, ecchi, or tragedy tags. I also like stories with great side characters rather than just focusing solely on MC. So if you look for those harem seeking protag and usual face slapping novel then sorry~ this isn't for ya...

P.S (edit 12/21) i removed all novel with romance hints, enjoy~

    I love your list. I dislike harem and ecchi tags, too. Webnovel authors usually detracts from the plot because of those and their stories can really do without them. While I don't scorn romance, I prefer it to be a gradual progression and development rather than instantaneous and forced. 

    Thank you for sharing! clear.png

      @Tsukkin Rise of the Strongest Sword God. Romance and other things related do not and will likely never exist in this novel.

    Nice list!! Found a few of my my faves on your list. So decided to check out the rest too. Hope you put descriptions on the others as well cos it helps give an idea what was your impression on it. Also cos its so funny when you described CCG 1f602.svg (Shuhang: My love life is just a joke to you!?) Will check out the supernatural/horror ones first. Hohoho~

      But but someone said about "tired and crying at the end, not happy with the ending" in the review section, so i don't plan to read it (im not good with angst), i did read few chapters in the beginning but stopped bcs of slow translation. 

      But thanks for the rec tho~

    This is my favorite list - so hard to find these non-harem, non-romance novels.

      Thanks~ tbh i put few romance novels here lol but the premise is that the story is real good, these days it's very rare to find good no-harem no-romance novels *sigh* i'm hoping ppl would start making more list about this kind of novel so i won't have to work so hard to find one lol

      @Tsukkin Yeah, I wish! It's so hard to find anything on the same level of ORV. I'd recommend SSS-Class su*cide Hunter - I recently read the manhua and got into the novel.
