wholesome non harem romcoms with no love triangle for most of them

mostly good fluffy, straight romance. the genre ranges from action, adventure, comedy etc., I hate harem and Love triangles.... more>>

I will add on novels when I come across some.

please note that this is mainly focused on romance and without love triangles, love rivals. There are plenty of good novels without romance tropes. They are not included here.

P.S.... Do comment if you have any similar novels to share.

These are the novels I have personally read. I can assure you that the completed one didn't have those tropes I hate. Now, for the incomplete ones they are highly unlikely to have those tropes. <<less

Making this 3 years after beginning to use this site, so I am missing a lot of things. (Especially the Cultivation ones…) Despite that everything... more>> here will be things I enjoyed reading! <<less

Now there are many META LNs with Romance themes, but among them are mostly Romcoms and have stories or plots that are very ordinary or... more>> even uninteresting in some people's tastes. but i don't really hate it, i can still enjoy it. I also prefer Romance-Drama than Romance-Comedy which has a heavier story even though I myself rarely find things like that <<less
