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 JAN 1ST: Added 'The Nebula's Civilization' to the list. <<less

A compilation of novels translated by Travis Translations that I am currently reading, planning to read, and have read.... more>>

Most of this site's novels were removed and show up as "No Releases." However, the novels that were gone can be found on several sites, where it seems probable that they were the original translators and just collaborated with Travis Translations for more readers to read their translations. Still, T.T. has its fair share of great translated novels especially the top one on this list. Some of the novels here were last updated 1-2 year/s ago but I still hope.

What happened (?):
1. When I Was Dying of High Fever, I Received the Skill ‘Hatching’ from a Goddess and Somehow Became the Strongest Tamer Who Commands Mythical and Divine Beasts
2. The Strongest Streamer of the Four-Sword Style ~ After Immersing Into a VR Game and Its Settings Manifesting in the Real World, I Attempted to Conquer a Beginner’s Dungeon
3. Quick Transmigration: Capturing Blackened Male God <<less

Webnovels: f*ck WEBNOVEL, sh*t ASS SITE, PIRACY W

Shadow s*ave: "I can't believe I am still finding good novels to read. This is one of the best novels I've ever read and is incredibly well written. Deep plot, good apocalypse setting, characters are incredibly lifelike, real emotion. Solo leveling but done so much better in a sense. Enough said." #1.5

Paragon of Sin: "Very very very very good. MC is cool, not very generic, a different feeling all together while still being a cultivation ln. Enough said." #0.5

Birth of the Demonic Sword: "Falls off at the end but rly cool, dark, and powerful mc. Enough said." #10.5

Divine Emperor of Death: "Man has cheats but somehow it doesn't take away from the overall story. Harem as well. Enough said."   #18.5

Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner in the Apocalypse: "Very similar to God and Devil in the beginning but then changes for the worst, it feels like a self-insert type thing. Also the mc is brainless and s*upidly op. Enough Said." #26.5

Chao's Heir: "From the same author of BotDS and it greatly dissapoints. There's so much things wrong with this one that it would take me a day to get into the details. Do not read. Only s*upid ass webnovel ppl would read this, the reviews were probably botted too. I can't believe its the same author, dude must've been going threw something idk. Enough said." #40.5 <<less

Just novels I've read (or dropped) ;D

Remember, that all of these are just my opinions and you should definitely try reading it first before passing on it because of my review!

Tip: NEVER read reviews, you HAVE to read the book for yourself :") <<less

BL, Straight, hopefully GL if i can find some. Just personal taste but these really are great so far. Not really in any sort of... more>> order just as I remember the specific titles. <<less

Heteros*xual Romantic Relationships (some are exophilia) [No Harem or School Life & very little Slice of Life]... more>>

For my followers and those who wish to follow: Let it be known that this is not an accurate list.  I have excluded some nonhuman males.  Stories that are under 10 chapters long and have not been updated in a year will not be included in this list.  I will include descriptions for each as I read them.

~If you're looking for completed stories good enough to be read more than once, then check out my 'Completed Favorites' list.  I highly recommend it! <<less

This hasn't been sorted out, rankings are the first novels I've read till its the most recent novel I was reading..(you can see how much my taste have changed hehe)... more>>

I also want to mention that due to some completed novels that looks like it has no chapters... is because of the translators locking the chapters and sites. You either have two or three options. ✿(P.S. I put a sign to distinguish at the end of each novel's bio to distinguish if its a password needed novel.....)✿

[ 1.)You can ask permission from the translators to read them but it doesn't really happen often ..

2.) or I recommend this method more which is, you can go to their website and read their explanation or bio on how to read the locked chapters, it varies. ***But in most cases, you can either DM their used social media like twitter to get the password. Or either get an invite from their discord; get verified; and get the password; and there you can finally read....(If you still can't find info or anything then the translator might have really deleted their translations, in worse cases you might never read the masterpieces...) ;-;

 3.) There is also translators here who ban some countries due to bots ripping off their hard work. The only thing you could do is just use VPN. But if not, you are very very lucky..... cause my country is banned so I have to use VPN. *sobbing* ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д`ﾟ)ﾟ｡  ] <<less

completed, all BL, all HE (sometimes endings are with some spice but no tragedy)

Mainly Korean novels, but can also include Japanese or Chinese novels. I dislike Harems and clingy female characters.

Action

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

This list contains titles I am reading or have read so far. I will mostly list those I like and omit the ones I dropped or outright dislike and put them in another list. I probably missed a few because I read a massive lot and can't remember every title ^^... more>>

The novels I have read on this site started mostly in the Wuxia/ Xianxia Genre but with time I came to read more and more KR and JP stuff too. As a result, the contents will revolve around the usual genre tropes so I won't bother with a long list of tags. I don't have a lot of expectations for most titles I casually pick up.

What I consider when actually calling a novel "bad" is mostly bad writing ability (author) or translation quality. Otherwise there are some things like excessive NTR, those mostly have horrendous writing/ storytelling anyway. There are also things I just subjectively find boring of course.

I hope the list contains stuff that you may come to like just as I did :)
