Here's a list of novels you might enjoy if you, like me, want to read some good stories that don't force an unnecessary & underdeveloped romance subplot where it isn't needed.... more>>

So these stories will have minimal to no romance, and I despise the harem trope in general. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for good bromance/brotherhood/friendship/found family stories. I also won't add any series to the list that I haven't personally read.

I decided to create this list because I've seen many similar 'no romance' lists on the site from which I've gotten many great recommendations to the point they have now become my go-to sources for new novels.

- - - - - - - - - - -

I'll be trying to organize the list based on how good I personally think the books are, but I'm only really certain about the first 4 being my favorites, the list then gets quite ambiguous, but I personally really like everything on the first page.

In the descriptions, I'll include how many chapters of the series I have read as well as how much romance there has been up until where I've read, as well as additional thoughts/opinions/warnings that I might have about the series.

I'll try to update the list whenever I find another good series to add. If you know of any series you think I'd like based on my list I'm more than open to suggestions! 

UPDATED JAN 1ST: Added 'The Nebula's Civilization' to the list. <<less

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists... more>>

More info on what i am searching: (The title may not be entirely accurate.)

Evil mc ( someone who do not care about other people, and can do anything for his goals )

Ruthless mc ( someone who do not hesitate to kill )

Neutral mc ( Neither a good person, nor a bad person, But care more about his own profits, Rational-Pragmatic type of route )

No Romance ( For this one, i also mean, less romance or none maybe, as well. No romance and no female lead are different. )

No Heroine ( i will use this word for those novels where there is no female lead. ) This is a word you find usually in mtl.

Sharing a Discord Invite Code, For Evil mc novels, But only MTL. Discord invite: ywyGwvK5ns. 

P.S: My reviews might be rough sometimes, but they're my honest thoughts. I wouldn't share a novel in here if I didn't think there was something worthwhile. Use them as a guide and decide for yourself. Treat each novel like a Poison Test. Enjoy your reading! <<less

For the novels that don't just expose endless descriptors, but also have a clever and well thought out story to tell. Whether it be tragic grinds that test your limits or joyful romps that celebrate life, these novels are things that I consider fulfilling reads from cover to cover. The novels that I unironically think are well written.... more>>

I have a bit of a hard on for Korean Novels in particular. It's just because of the stylistic choices these authors make. If Chinese Novels are about blood-thirsty, cruel, never-ending, arrogant, one-sided and shallow stories; and Japanese Novels are about weak-willed, nonsensical, piddling constantly hesitant stories; then Korean Novels are a different beast all together.

There are also novels that I REALLY loved reading but have no entries on this site. These novels are *legally* hosted on WebNovel and elsewhere. I will list the novels that struck me as abnormally good here in the description.

Reincarnated with the Strongest System

Divine Emperor of Death

Villain Cultivator

God of Tricksters

Tyranny of Steel

The Beginning After the End

Vile Evil Hides Under the Veil

Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Supreme Magus

Rupegia

The Simulacrum

Worth the Candle

Shadow s*ave

Dimensional Descent

Sword God in a World of Magic

Jackal Among Snakes

The Bleak Walker <<less

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

In another world maybe in medieval or futuristic settings, where the MC got Transmigrated, Reincarnated, Possessed, or Regressed and sometimes there's a System. Sometimes they... more>> have memories of the past, read a novel about the world, or leveling up in game or not! <<less

These are list of novels, i plan to read.... more>>

I will copy paste comment or info that i know about these, so when i come back, i can see that info and then decide which one to read first. These comments and info are not mine.But i will also add info on them, as i read the novels, and may even remove the original comment that i copy pasted, completely, if i started enjoying the novel.

As once i read a book, if i dislike it, i will leave a review directly and if i like it, same i will leave review. But will remove from my, To read List.

I enjoy ruthless mc with less romance/harem. <<less

After the first place, the order is considered random

I will start documenting my observations about it. They may not be accurate due to the long time that has passed since I read novels years ago. Nevertheless, they serve as a summary of my experience with them. I might attempt to organize them from best to least preferred as well.
