Recommendations Need a novel different from the typical ones

Hello everyone,

I just finished the novel I was reading so I'm feeling an existential vacuum, haha...
No, seriously. It would be amazing if some of you could recommend me a novel which has a very intelligent character with a story that somehow differs from the typical ones.

For that reason, please, no harem tag
Thank youuu <3

 

Which novel was it?

 

I love me some good harem but will drop if author handle harem like shit.

 

Genjitsushugisha no oukokusaikenki.

 

That one is a harem lol
And try Dungeon Defense!

 

Reverend Insanity

 

I know, haha... In a way, harem tag is a cliché in asian novels as there's a huuge amount that have it. So I wanted something different.
Regarding Dungeon Defense, I've already read it! But thanks!!

 

Thank you!! <3

To be a power in the shadow (harem I think but hilarious)

How about it? Have you read any of these?

 

Rakuin no Monshou
Mother of Learning

 

How is Emperor Domination? I think I left it at 1100 chapter. It was getting a bit boring

 

It’s still quite enjoyable~!
I make sure to read it on a day to day basis!
Well Li Qiye is out of Heaven Spirit now after killing many a pseudo emperor assailant,
Perhaps you should give it a second chance.......?

 

The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich : If you can count Roland as Intelligent(He technically is VERY cunning and smart, just that he cannot stop shooting himself in the foot)

as with EE Li Qiye, i recommend ED, just make sure to not focus on all the fillers, just enjoy the crushing. Also dont forget the amazing worldbuilding.

The Magus of Genesis : I know harem is in the genre's, but trust me, give this one a chance since its so different from all those Slice of Life Isekai novels. Also the prologue is not what the entire novel will be.

Apex Predator, on RRL, Became one of my favorites because how different it is. Ill just tell you that the environmentalist stuff is only of relevance until he finds the Gate, then the story becomes sooo much better.

 

Yep, it's hilarious.

Sorta envy you, you get to read all the chappies...

Do so away from people, or they'll look at you funny when you're giggling helplessly.

 

Read Maou Ni's novels. They are harem free. Also faithful to one love interest

 

Ouroboros Record
Throne of Magical Arcana
Martial Arts Master
Vermillion

 

Thank you for the recommendations! I wasn't expecting so many...
