these are some korean+chinese novels that i have read in the past and really liked. there are obviously a lot of really famous ones. they are a wide range of genres ranging from action to slice of life (no romance tho). hope you like my list. 

p.s. im still writing my reviews and thoughts, so the list is not finished lol. it is not exactly reviews, its more like my stream of consciousness... 

i wanted to create a separate list for bromance, but i realized that almost all of the novels here have it. so, i will put them together here, but will specify the status of romance plot and bromance in each novel.

also its so hard finding good no romance novels...

p.s. there might be some novels with romance subplot. mostly it will be really minor and never interfers with the main goal or it is usually written in the extras after hints of romance in the main story.
