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

I was reading the webtoon which is great. Supposed to be funny with plenty of bromance. No-CP.

Added this just based on the reviews, it seems quite funny and doesn't take itself too seriously, so I'm pretty sure I'll like it.

Oh, I didn't read that far... I hadn't doubled back to finish the story because it wasn't completed in COO when I started it a while ago
I'll fix my blurb on it!
