This list is all with male leads. Mostly action but seriously good.... more>>

Most of them have great or decent art and if you've read their novels, the manhwa version is a must too! <<less

Mostly Korean Novel.

Stuff i've read ages ago that i want to be able to easly look back on, appreciate and reflect on the passing of the time, whenever i go back here.... more>>

This list is based on my sentimentality, memories of time well-spent, of things close to my heart. Not on the novels' quality (you should still check them all out). I will try to sort them somewhat reasonably, at least.

If you think this list is missing some novels, you should cry about it in your closet. If they aren't here, I haven't read them (or liked them enough). Prolly because they got buried in my 'to read' list. (Yuusha, Aruiwa Bakemono to Yobareta Shoujo; tr*sh of the Count's Family; M E M O R I Z E, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint; Sevens; Monster Paradise; Pivot of the Sky; Release that Witch; Reverend Insanity; The Dark King; etc.)
Don't read anything below 50th place on this list, it's not worth it.

Also, this won't ever be updated, I think. <<less

The list of novels with male protagonist that i am reading or have read

Sharing several years of my reading experience.... more>>

I was slowly creating this list for about a year. When I've got nothing else to do I was gradually expanding it and that's the result.

***

To make it more descriptive and clarify some things I've put what I consider the main focus of the story under the 'Main Tags' line.

I've also added some comments to express what I thought about most novels that I've read.
As a bonus I've thrown out here some things that people look for or try to avoid like romance and mentioned similar titles that I've read myself.

***

Tags' explanation:

Mature:
FL - foul language, G - gore, E - ero elements.

Romance:

'No Romance' - nothing worth mentioning/mc is a loner, No Romance(?) - I haven't seen any, 'Romance' - only 1 heroine, Yanderes - self-explanatory, Harem - if MC is in CONFIRMED relationships with
several love interests, not a japanese useless one.

***

'My reading progress' line is a show of my 'sincerity'. At least I know what I'm talking about cause I've read it till cXXX.

***

Rating:

10/10 - Perfection (for me).

9/10 - Not 10/10 but pretty close.

8/10 - Something good/worth reading

7/10 - Readable

6/10 - Read with caution / Only 'Readable' under specific circumstances

***

P.s I've read a lot of novels (more than 200), so I've chosen more popular titles, or at least novels that I've liked more than others. So very few novels here can be considered questionable or 'hidden gems'. <<less

p.s.

I haven't read all of these books and only a few of them. I wanted male pov books that didn't have a dozen of females flocking hence after tons of reading genres and tags and a h*ck amount of reviews making sure there ain't no imposter in here I've finally formed a hundred (and two) "MALE PROTAGONIST WITH NO HAREM" READING LIST!!!! TADA ~ ~~

You're welcome ;D

Oh, and If you guys wanna recommend books and found out there's an imposter among us (diz books) please tell me- tell us! and even more so if you wanna recommend a good book ANY GENRE you know about please please please..? *with sparkling eyes*

The following recommendations would be labeled whether they belong to BG, BL, GL, or No Love Interests. There is no ranking in my list, it was just according to the time when I chronologically added the novel inside this list. <<less
