ORDER DOES NOT CORRELATE TO MY SPECIFIC THOUGHTS TOWARD THE BOOK!

SSMC = Self-Sacrificing MC

Misunderstandings = MS  <<less

This list is for people, like me, who are tired of romance and just want to read a good story.

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 MAY 31ST: Added 'Absolute Dweller' to the list. <<less

To read list

Novels I previously read with MTL or wanting to read, so I am waiting until they are completely translated.

Just some novels I read, most are action fantasy tbh, some are really good. In no particular order. I haven't read most until the end. Probably because I was bingeing them in like 2-3 days each for the longer one's. whoops.... more>>

Also, I might not write a description for all of them, but I'll try to. Sorry If I get lazy mid-way through. Anyway I hope you enjoy them.

PS. Some of them are quite popular, sorry about that and the tags will just be an idea of whats there, not all of them will be like that. <<less
