Action-packed and plot-heavy novels. No romance.... more>>

Love is temporary, EXP is eternal. <<less

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

These are novels amongst the countless KR novels I read, where I wouldn't feel bad for recommending them to someone getting into KR novels. I have ranked these, so you may notice how some of the novels I rated higher are ranked lower than novels I rated lower.(I really hope that sentence made sense. [ranking = #1, #2, #3, etc...] and [rating = 9.1/10, etc...]) ... more>>

This is because I am also factoring an enjoyment factor when I ranked these. I read web novels because it's fun, it doesn't have to be very sophisticated for me. If you're looking for exactly that, I suggest "Pride and Prejudice".  <<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>>

NO HAREM OR ROMANCE-FOCUSED NOVELS! Contains mainly friendship or comradeship-focused Novels.

Other Novels/Mangas that can't be found on novelupdates: Eleceed (Manhwa), How to Survive as a Terminally-Ill Dragon (Manhwa) <<less
