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.

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

Hi! Here are some of the KR titles which I have read over the years. Most of the novels here in this list are some of my personal favorites, although some novels here are also just downright dumb. Nonetheless, I hope you'd find my list helpful! Other KR suggestions and recommendations would be highly appreciated!... more>>

To rate all the novels in this list, I utilized my "Personal Subjective Rating Scale". I ranked the novels that I read based on the simple scale below. All novels that I haven't read yet or finished reading would not be ranked unless I dropped them. Do take note that my thoughts on these novels are just subjective and may or may not be agreed upon by everyone. If we have contrasting and/or similar opinions, feel free to share your own thoughts, and let's have a smooth rapport! 

EDIT: Apparently, there's a limit for the description placeholder so I couldn't place my rating scale here. You could see my criteria for rating in the comment section below. Thanks! <<less
