Decent plot progression, no romance whatsoever, get's progressively stronger, like the main character from AWE(A Will Eternal).
A Will Eternal has romance... It's pretty good too. King Shura (no romance in sight) Running Away From The Hero! (Got a remake, and I think Ensj dropped it?) The King of the Battlefield (no romance in sight) Emperor of Solo Play (a lot of romanticized things) Reverend nightmare (no romance in sight)
