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*

⤜ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ⇻ <<less

i like them for very specific reasons. (i often edit my reviews/switch orders, as a heads up)

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

No romance, no harem. Just MC with their brotherhood/sisterhood or found-family ^^~.... more>>

Best action webnovels I’ve ever read.... more>>

Here are some American web serials that aren't on this site:

“Practical Guide to Evil” is equal to LOTM imo. It's an epic fantasy with very developed characters, a unique and sprawling setting, and a very simple but well-thought-out power system. The beginning is rough but it does improve. The MC's change from a naive and stubborn girl to a warmonger and cunning faction leader is very worth the wait. She's probably the sickest MC of any novel on this list. 10/10.

"Perfect Run" is another good American serial. It's a sci-fi story about a witty and somewhat deranged MC who can reset the timeline and does so until he creates a perfect sequence of events. 9.5/10.

"Worm" by Wildbow as well. It's a classic American web serial. It's set in a world with superheros and follows the MC who can control bugs. Most fights take place in an urban setting and the author builds an intricate world with a wide variety of powers. It's also interesting to see how the MC's power doesn't get stronger over the course of the book but she instead just becomes more adept at using it, as well as becomes more cunning. 8/10

"Mother of Learning" is also quite popular. Is a time loop magic academy story. Slow pace, unraveling mystery. 8/10

"Shadow s*ave" as well. Witty assassin MC. 9/10 (MC's flaw is annoying but not debilitating.)

(For previous viewers, I've separated the BL into another list) <<less

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>>
