This is similar to 'I am the Monarch' but this focuses a lot more on wars and border conflicts. Hints of romance starting at more or less the thousandth chapter. But only hints though, it's still gonna take a long time for romance to really show up. It's not harem btw.... more>>

      @cole about  Reincarnation Paradise bad news if sources is right still hasn't been to a anime world since you took a break and its ch. 3k+ not sure if and when he'll ever go back to a anime world I feel same whenever I see a native world I literally skip til I see a anime world I just might drop it, Native worlds simply can't hold my interest the fraction anime worlds can.

    Thank you, I really need to find something similar to "tr*sh of the counts family" that doesn't have romance tag :)) that means we're basically free to ship the mc to everyone

    nice list bro. i got 1-2 new novels.

    I know most of 'em and read almost half of 'em, even if not finished.

    i also got 1 list:

    novelupdatesforum.com/threads/no-romance-and-no-harem-novels-only-can-be-evil-cold-ruthless-or-villain-egoist-pragmatic-mc.161306/ ( i removed www, so add that up yourself, as idk if i can share a website link here or not )

    But let me warn first, this list is neutral novels, with no romance and harem, but MTL

    I personally know or checked almost everything on translated novels already lol

    Good thing, eventually i managed to put myself in mtl. so it is ok now.

    But good list bro, ty for sharing. Hope you share more, if you got them.

      forgot to say 1 one thing, do you have any ruthless mc in korean novels lol. I am searching for no skirt chaser or less romance, and obviously less harem or none lol.

      But korean novel.

      i enjoyed Solo Levelling, Soverign of judgement is a very good book, before girls started popping lol then i stopped. 

      Still i would love more korean novels
      And bro, add Killing Hero , no romance novel. i think no female lead, its been some time so i forgot.

    Thank you very much! Been looking for some novels to read. I've become cautious in action-centered novels with romance tag because it usually end up either becoming a drag or some things just felt off, same goes for the harem that don't mesh well with me lol. A great save and an awesome list, count me in clear.png

      well, it was not harem when i read the latest chapter back then and it's been a while since i've read that so i only noticed the added harem tag now. thank you, i'll remove fff- class tr*sh hero from the list now.

      @cole Btw webnovel who translates Great Doctor Ling Ran dropped it which explains the lack of updates
