(There's a second list, just add a 2 to the name of this list and you'll find it) ... more>>

There are too many novels with cliché romance and harems with annoyingly useless girls. Reading them gets extremely tiring. There are too few novels with absolutely no form of romance or harem. Here are some novels I've found to not have romance/harem or have an harem/romance theme that didn't affect the plot of the novel to the point of it being annoying. 

Feel free to recommend novels that fit the criteria, arigatou^o^

P. S. I haven't read all the novels in this list so I might not be accurate in judging them. And there are some I've read but didn't finish and the novel ended up having romance or harem elements in a later chapter, please feel free to correct me anytime you see that I wasn't accurate. Arigatou minna-san <<less

Novels where strength depends mainly on contracted beasts

So far NO HAREM in the ongoing novels in the list, because I tend to like novel without harem. There are other novels with the... more>> same theme but I didn't add it to the list because it has a harem genre in it . <<less

A list containing novels with zero harem[love triangles in some] and good stories to my preference. Not tags as there is no central themes. But... more>> I can promise you that there is no filler stuff in my recommendations.I will be updating the details and why you should read them often enough. And don't go with the way they are queued, as things may vary from person to person, just take them as a list.If you want to use MTL for novels... use comrademao.. its the closest with OG quality I have come across, they use some good software. <<less

This is the stories that I like, you can read it if you want but I warn you, they are wholesome but some of them are tragedies that's why even if you are fulfilled and the ending is so good you will be frustrated because there are no more chapters...... more>>

Anyway don't mind the descriptions down there ↓. I'm a role player in Rpg games and gaming community that it even affect me in real life....

Oh there's no harem here, I'm not really fond of that genre.

I still have so many to recommend but still finding them.

- No Ranking. <<less

Honestly, are there any webnovels that are objectively good? ... more>>

Flawless? Without dragging on endlessly, trailing off into a nothing ending or meandering on with a directionless plot? 

I haven't found many and I sure have read a lot.

A lot.

Many that I'm not proud of. The type of novel that if my friends and family found me reading might cause another Isekai.

But also, in the filth and garbage that I often see festering on NU there are plenty of gems to look out for. 

And plenty to avoid.

Keep In mind all these reviews are just my opinions.

Ps. Check the comments for novel recommendations that aren't on NU

PPs: although they are my opinions, you are objectively wrong if you disagree. <<less

Keep in mind, the order has nothing to do with the ranking of the novels and that no novel so far deserves, in my opinion, the perfect 5/5.
