Essentially, either a weak or strong protagonist has subordinates or people who are all very loyal and protective/possessive of him. Most of them are stronger than the MC. There are mainly male protagonists, but female protagonists are included.... more>>

NO HAREM OR ROMANCE-FOCUSED NOVELS! Contains mainly friendship or comradeship-focused Novels.

Other Novels/Mangas that can't be found on novelupdates: Eleceed (Manhwa), How to Survive as a Terminally-Ill Dragon (Manhwa) <<less

Personal List (˵ ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o˵)

Novels I recommend either because I translated them (ahem shameless self promo) or because they are genuinely enjoyable

Male MC and (possibly) no romance

Read and currently reading. Mostly Family oriented, comradeship, brotherly love, world and kingdom building. Included some stories with harems and polygamy but those were not... more>> completely read, and went straight to the bin whenever the story is somewhat heading to these directions. I love Romance if it is a purely romance novel but Adventure and war novels should be left with little to no romance, right? And I am sucker for feels so I am rating based on how a novel moves me. <<less

Male protagonist with slightly better moral compast. Without unnecessary killing innocent human. Attack after being attacked. Really like how protagonist's morale is, he didnt kill/attack others... more>> to get more power/land/money, he kill/attack others because they attaced him first. The world already f**ked up no need to read f**ked up novel. Need more positive novel. <<less

Harem is not needed, beautiful girls can just admire the hero <<less

It's a list of all my favourite Korean novels with male protagonist that I'm recommending you for reading . So I hope you like it!!! 

As the title says, these are novels I enjoyed; they are either historical romances, romantic comedies, romantic fantasies or magical fantasy without any romance or romance being completely insignificant to the story.... more>>

Note - My taste is a little tr*shy <<less

YUM

All languages, all genres, the good, the bad, and the sh*t (but the good shit).... more>>

Not ordered definitively, but my current favourite novels are placed near the top. This list will be as massive as Treinar's c*** <<less

Here is some novel list that hit my taste. ... more>>

Please tell me if you have another recommendation.

*The order in the list doen't mean anything. I just put them in based on my memory. <<less

Typical fantasy/second-chance usually. Was mostly KR, but I start reading more CN stuff. Rarely read romance-centric novels. Don't like specifically harems usu.... more>>

No description=TBD. Review-ish comments. May be slight spoilers but never something like xx dies. Most of the stuff I like/recommend are on the first page. I started getting lazy with updating rankings though.

List includes basically everything I've read before.

Other novels:

Birth of the Demonic Sword (C641)Good for like first 500-600 chapters. After there's a couple time skips, which I don't mind but events also just feel filler/boring. Also kind of feels a bit like a Reverend Insanity rip-off. MC has parts different enough but there's not enough meaningful character interactions (esp. later on)/inner monologue (for philosophical stuff) imo.

Author's POV - 4.5/5; C646; Good series inspired by Novel's Extra. Romance is handled much better imo.

Shadow s*ave- 2/5; Finished Vol 2. Vol1 was good. Vol2 felt like MC only ever interacted with the other MC and the side characters sort of just followed the party along without interacting/much presence. Also just didn't like the logic of vol2 so dropped.

Cultivation Online -3/5; C560; Enjoyable for 3/5 but the MC sort of just keeps levelling up without any impending threat so it feels kind of boring after the initial mystery of the world is lost.

I've reached the list cap so I might start tracking my reading list elsewhere. <<less

list for myself but feel free to intrude.

Just some fantasy Korean Novels and of course male protagonist
