The MC is male and happens to be the villain himself (usually by setting, sometimes choice) or allied to a villainess (by marriage, fiance, childhood friend). I'll provide a short description what i precisely like about that novel or its execution, or the points of criticism. No Yaoi.... more>>

All novels in this list have romance/ harem to quench your thirst (unless I say otherwise). Just having harem doesn't make it bad, only how it's written. 

MC refers to the Male MC, the one you are reading as, 'protagonist' refers to the classic 'hero' of the 'original' story. I'll also include till what chapter i've read the novel, sometimes the novels improve as you progress but 99% of the times tr*sh stays tr*sh.

Do feel free to recommend novels in the comments, i'll add them after reading.

Note: if i run out of space i'll consider removing some novels to try and spotlight the newer/ up-and-coming novels instead. If i do so i'll state it here.

Update: i have made that supplementary list. It's here- novelupdates.com/viewlist/71758/ <<less

When the protagonist is an unfaithful loser, do you have the urge to transmigrate into the novel to give him a good beating? If so, I present to you a list of novels I enjoyed with an overpowered male protagonist and no harem. Featuring:... more>>

- overpowered protagonist
- no harem, preferably no romance
- loner, antihero, or evil protagonist (not a guarantee) <<less

Isekais are fun reads when done right, cringey when generic, and horrible when done wrong.... more>>

Sorted from Best to Worst with the ratings being pretty biased.

Honorable Mentions: The Beginning after the End (NOT ON NU) {4.35/5} It's cool, that's all I can really say.

THE LIST NOW HAS A SECOND PART IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8455/ <<less

MCs that are already OP from the start, or that become OP in very, very few chapters. They may or may not know about their own capabilities, but are feared and/or respected by those around them. Also, this is a simp-free zone, no NTR, no cucks. Waifus, though, are allowed. ... more>>

Lots of cultivation novels, some have comedic undertones that usually go well with "misunderstanding protagonist clueless about their own power". MC is famous, MC is considered to be the demon king, MC is a sect master, MC has loyal subordinates, overpowered and feared MC, etc, are the kinds of settings here.

They are in no particular order. List updates as I read them. <<less

this is mostly just male mc without female leads like "love interests" or harems :)... more>>

Korean Novels #1 - #25
Chinese Novels #26 - #53
Japanese Novels #54 - #70

* There might be some s*xual tensions towards side characters but mostly it views the improvement of the main characters
* Novels like this just focus on the plot and battle towards mc's main goal and shenanigans but most of the novels here are my male protagonist 'to be read' and I hope you guys find something that suits your tastes <3 so yeah happy reading ^^)/ <<less

Noice Novels...they are not in order

No description.

A list of novels I like so I don't forget. Not in order. I try to not make this similar to FIEND's and other people's list but there aren't that many decent ones with no romance y'know. ... more>>

Some novels : Since The Red Moon Appeared, The Damned, Supreme Grandpa, Is That A Wisp?, Spending My Retirement In A Game.

P.S. I still haven't differentiated quick transmigration and world hopping so I could be mistaken about some. Thank you for understanding. <<less

These are the novels that drew me into Wuxia, Xianxia, and Xuanhua and made me a fan.... more>>

They might not always be the best in every aspect, but they are epic, amazing, and the classics. Enjoy them, enjoy the young masters getting stomped on, enjoy the mc's going from beeing a weak insect to beeing a great cultivator stealing the hearts of the ice cold beauty by lucky coincidences.

Enjoy the old beast reincarnated, Enjoy the new worlds, enjoy the journey!

Mostly CN, some KR if they are good, and no JP. Please follow the list if you enjoyed it, and comment if I'm missing something too good. <<less

I feel really bad when I start reading a good novel thinking that it's quite good and doesn't have useless & annoying harem  it turns... more>> out to be one. It's seriously annoying. This list contains novels which aren't harem . Mc have only one wife/gf or none at all. Let's start( uh..... I'm quite new to nu so don't mind my listing style & they aren't in order) <<less

50+ High Quality Novels.... more>>

read untranslated novels using ChatGPT, superior to Mtl. <<less

These are the novels that I personally enjoyed, though some of them might not be my favorites, they still had enough influence stay in my heart as a decent novel at the very least... well, most of them. (Also I'm actually back now 2022, got burnt out after reading too much reincarnation paradise)[2023 here, uhhh, oops]... more>>

*Rest of description is for when you enter the list*
{I'm back and ready to fix my younger self's s*upid tastes, some are pretty good though}

(My reviews will not be consistent with the list because I go into the read deeper rather than just a overview, make sure to check my oldest comment, it is also the most liked one, it has the unpublished reads)

[S tier is a 5 star read, A is a 4.5 star read, B tier is a 4 star read, C tier is a 3.5 star read, D tier is a 3 star read, E tier is a 2 star read, F tier is a 1 star read] 

[SS and X tier are special. SS is consistency and intrigue, and X is the top 3 with the SS tier also being applied] 

(exaggerated tier which is a new special tier has been added, this is when I give reads that just started a good tier even when there isn't enough chapters to properly review it, the tier of the read will most probably change someday)

(The special tiers will now be accompanied by a regular tier, Exagg. tier will be accompanied with a Z)  <<less

No description.

I hate harem. Why? Because most of the time it leads the story to a direction that's not pleasing. And most of all I don't... more>> fantasize about having thousands of girl on my lap.  Hell I'm not even interested in romance . Anyway this list contains novels that have zero harem and maybe it will have novels that have romance, but almost all of them are not focused on romance
So enjoy (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ <<less

Any kind of influence building like kingdom, clan ,buisness, gang,  secret organisation, etc, is considered.... more>>

Novels aren't ranked, so ignore the ranking. <<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

Rare Gem > Gem > Good > Average > tr*sh

i noticed that a lot of readers dislike harem so i compiled the novels i read without it. genres are mixed so there's a lot... more>> you can choose <<less

In no particular order. Props to anyone else who has read them all.

A few hidden gems ... others not so much but all of them totally worth the read. List spans quite a few genre such as Fantasy, sci-fi, cultivation, management, mystery.... more>>

Not all novels in the list will have top ratings. In my opinion the best novels are rated around 3.2 - 4.5. Anything over is mostly BL or FL with some exceptions. Anything below is mostly tr*sh with minor exceptions of novels for people with very specific taste. 

PS: All my recommendations are based on MTL. I rarely read human translated versions ..  <<less

As long as it's good stuff, i'll add it here. There are many genres and if there isn't one full translated then it's ok to... more>> MTL it. <<less

Badass novels that I read, with strong protagonist. 

Its literally everything I've read or plan on reading. A lot of bl (hehe) and some isekai and adventure themed novels

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

Sometimes, romance and the many love interests make good novels mediocre or rubbish, so this list has the top novels that either don't have romance at all, just bromance or some romance but no harem.... more>>

All of them are action and adventure novels or both and are at the top of any series ranking list, so happy reading! <<less
