A collection of Korean novels with male protagonist that I enjoyed reading, with absolutely no harem. 

I have noticed all these KR books with animal sidekicks for the protagonist. Don't know why this is a trope but I tend to like these titles and will collect for future reference.... more>>

I am open to title suggestions. <<less

You know this genre. People awaken superpowers and are called Hunters or Players, and also there are gates to other dimensions and/or a tower where each floor is a dungeon. May also include beings from other dimensions who started this nonsense for their own self-interests.... more>>

Each series I have read or am planning to read. May include series that aren't *quite* this genre but are close enough. Includes both romance and non-romance. At the end I've included series without translations or ones with only a couple of chapters translated that haven't updated in a long time. Maybe some day I can read them... <<less

the ones w/o a rating are ones i haven't read yet 
(not in any order) will update regularly 

No description.

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

All kinds of male MC (good and evil), all kinds of genres (fantasy, scifi, SoL, xianxia, xuanhuan).... more>>

Some might have late romance I haven't read yet. <<less

This is all shounen novels, whether middle-aged or modern time! \(･◡･)/ Also a lot of transmigration, rebirth, or maybe the mc is just a real resident of that world. There is some of harem or bl, but mostly the mc have no love interest so rest assured! Well, sometimes I tolerate some novel with harem because it's too good even though I don't like the genre very much~... more>>

Ps. On the front is my own personal rating, not the general rating of the book. <<less

Stories with a close friendship/relationship between two male characters that is not romantic in nature.
