Caution: bear the risk of having your taste being too sky-high standard.

I thought how about list all novel without harem that is good for reading in the free time, then here I was, make it. Basically I put ALL GENRES in one list, BUT they don't have harem tag. Ah, ofc the mc is male. And unlike the other lists, I don't arrange the novels based on its stars. But at least, I put them according their origin (kr-cn-jp) ... more>>

If anyhow you guys found a title with harem inside and I put it here, please tell me. Thank you! <<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*

This is to help my s*upid brain never regress further due to being addicted in reading novels with lack of common sense and questionable plot holes. And to also prevent myself from always having to lower my standard to the point of being brain dead.... more>>

Most often no romance but with male protagonist. As much as I always read everyday, only some stories really piqued my interest. So here's my list of unforgettable novels I've read here.

Just to mention, I won't add some KR dungeon tropes and CN wuxias, xuanhuans, xianxias since I find it more generic and full of plot holes (and armors).

I've been an avid NU reader since 2018? Yet this is my first time setting an account because I really want to create this list for my fellow comrades.

Ah, please do not hesitate for some recommendations I forgot to add! <<less

Here is a list of my favorite action web novels. I really don’t like romance and/or harem in my action focused novels, because it almost always detracts from the plot. So, these action novels have absolutely zero romance or harem. ... more>>

The first five are the ones I recommended to everyone and are the only ones that are in order. The following are more of a case by case basis. 

More recommendations (that aren’t listed on NU) in the comments.

All the MTL I recommend are very readable. I can't stand most MTL, including Comrademao and MTLNovel, so the only website that I use is Novelhi. <<less

PT. 2 IS NOW POSTED!... more>>

Korean Novels about men who have either reincarnated, got a second chance, or transmigrated, woke up in another body, into noble sons, side-characters, villains, or extras. They sometimes have animal companions, and definitely have loyal followers.  <<less

Korean Action Novels Part 3https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/25368/?ft=yes <<less

Just stuff I liked with no romance (since that stuff annoys me, esp w/ op mc) - romantic subplot = removal
- some unread + under review ,,, going to update when I’m free lol... more>>

Mostly stuff like transmigration / new body possession / traveling back to past

list 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/69296/ <<less

Good novels that have had updates stopped or slowed to the point that they may as well have stopped. I'm also including novels whose already translated chapters are gone as well (even if they were completed), whether that's because of DMCAs/C&Ds, translators or authors taking hiatuses, losing interest, or just disappearing off the face of the earth.... more>>

Most of these are ones I've personally read, and I ordered them in a general ranking of which ones I personally liked or thought were best, but further down the list are ones I have read and may not love the way I do some of the others but still think it's a shame that their translation has stopped. <<less

GENRES: either Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Historical, Horror, Martial Arts, Mystery, Psychological, Sci-Fi, Slice of Life, Supernatural... more>>

A compilation of my favorites (CN, JP, KR) in alphabetical order.
*read the comments for additional recommendations (original novels)
*will update when I find and read new interesting ones <<less

No description.

There will be a mix of Bromance, Yaoi, or Romance and I usually don't read harem but sometimes there are exceptions.... more>>

Also, most of the genres in this list are reincarnation, Transmigration, Action, Adventures which I enjoy reading. Rather than reading weak dumb MC, I prefer cunning and calm although I don't mind being lazy lol XD.

I tried to read something new which is not my cup of tea and sometimes I came to like them so there will be mixing various genres in here.

I find these novels worth reading since they are well-built characters, have an interesting storyline, plot twists. At least, that is based on my opinion and taste. 

All of them are Not Ranked just in random order. I might update if I find something that suits my taste, I guess.

Some of the Links are dead so just copy the website link that I commented on and search on google/chrome or somewhere that you like. Anyways, Happy Reading guys!! <<less

you have been looking for this.... more>>

here's a list of op mc Korean novels you have been looking for

(the first few descriptions of the novels are not mine, they are just comments I copied of NU, also please note that while most novels here are Korean not all of them are)

here are some other lists I made: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46420/ and https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/47255/  check them out if you're interested <<less

You can browse up and down if there is one on here you like. The one before is likely to have similar aspects to the one after and so on. These are in the order in which I read them, as this list is mostly for my own sake. I like shorter, completed trans, reinc, time slip, QT with fantasy romance, game elements and systems, and bl. I love sweet mindless fluff stories and mature stories that make you think also rl game menu status plates. Some stories have these, some don't. I have attached a summary, thoughts, and where I've read to as the notes. I didn't filter what I put there, so beware-... more>>

A list of korean novels I enjoyed and some not entirely. Definitely no harem! 

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

These are novels I've read or I'm reading and came to like.... more>>

The following novels are not ordered and doesn't have any specific genre,

Feel free to check them out. I'm sure at least some of them will be of your taste.

I've rated on the scale of 10 and wrote descriptions for some of them or just few lines otherwise. 

[If not, then either it's has too less chapters (below 100) or I've stopped half-way (translation problem, didn't feel like re-reading to catch up to the latest chapters due to long brake or the story started going downhill) and just rated it to what I remember.]

Do comment if there are any corrections to be made.

[Some of the '... more>>' may not work ,I added them to troll those who didn't read this (kufufu), as I'm still editing it (Now at #22)]

Happy Reading! <<less

if you're looking at this list then you're probably tired of seeing the same novels over and over again.... more>>

Well then here are some good novels that you might not have seen yet.

Hidden Gems!

here are some other lists I made: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46420/ and https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/47255/  check them out if you're interested <<less

I will only include the one's that made me stick through thick and thin. Mostly no romance, if it's harem then you should expect that the MC is just using them for greater benefits. I don't like DUmb characters so you should also expect that most of the Male leads here or Female leads are smart or sharp. half of my list also include survival and teaches you some bitter reality lesson unlike those cliche novels that makes you scared or dream about nonsense fantasy stuffs.... more>>

I JUST RANDOMLY PLACE THE NOVELS AND I WON'T RANK IT. ( for me, they're all the best on their own way and techniques) 

[disclaimer: as I said, ‘mostly’ no romance- what I meant is in the survival stories, and if the protagonist is a man. But if the protagonist is a girl, they’ll be really romance. Book like that (top tier books with Female Mc w/ no romance) are very rare. I myself having some troubles finding them.] <<less

I dropped a hell lot of novels.... more>>

If you think any of the listed series are hidden gems, please please please let me know in the comments (and the reasons behind ur recommendation) because I'm running outta stuff to read. Harem is a banned genre though. <<less
