So here's the point. Can you recommend me some novels? NO ROMANCE! NO HAREM NO FEMALE LEAD OF ANY KINDS! NO ROMANTIC SUBPLOTS! I HATE IT! I didn't mean the whole "Romance genre" I just don't like it specially when they "mixed" action-adventure plus romance together. ALSO!!! N O BL!!! NO NO NO So... Male Protagonist Jap/Kor/CHN could be from anywhere (NU, WATTPAD, WEBNOVELS, ROYAL ROAD, ETC) Just came back from checking Wattpad but sadly, I think almost 89% of the novels with the #maleprotagonist is also bl... I wanna cry... And yes, I also accept non human mc. • Dragon MC • God MC I also accept fanfictions, as long as.... Male MC No romance No harem No bl Absolutely no weird ships
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/warlock-of-the-magus-world/ There might be some romance/harem but i think they count more as a fling or making use of em since mc isn't really in love with em in my opinion and harem like plays almost no role in to the story Since he basically abandons em after setting em up with neccessities before continueing his journey. novel is basically traveling around different worlds being op. I find each place being very different and interesting in their own way.
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint has a romantic subplot but it's never in the foreground, just occasionally mentioned.
*Me reading, okay I have a lot *highlights....oh, no BL. Nevermind. Good luck Also why is it white, I couldn't see what it said.
Legendary Mechanic it's CN but the action scenes are fire.. dont know abt the translations but imo it's good. The mc has no interest in girls, while it is not romance/harem it's been tagged harem cuz the women are just interested in him but he doesn't give a shit. Can someone back me up on this?
I like how the OP asks for no Romance or harem and people still give him stuff with some Romance/harem/fling lol. Isaac has the annoying fml who could easily be turned into a love interest just so the author can sell more and most of the others are worse lol. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/superstars-of-tomorrow/ https://www.novelupdates.com/series/this-earth-is-a-bit-fearsome/ ( No romance or harem even till the end of the series. It's all focused on the story, the journey and the main character) https://www.novelupdates.com/series/trash-of-the-counts-family/ No romance, has dragons, magic, calm mc, powerful but not overpowered etc. Has friends/loyal subjects. Couldn't find the NU links for the next recommendations. The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life: No romance, focuses heavily on knights, politics, war, strategy, etc. Every character is alive and doesn't feel 1 dimensional. Lord Of The Oasis: Haven't finished it but so far there have been zero indication of anything like that. No harem or romance at all upto 489 chapters and it doesn't look like there's gonna be any.
OMG YESSS FINALLY SOMEONE I CAN RELATE TOI DESPISE ROMANCE AND HAREM IN MALE LEAD MC STORIES Trash of the Count's Family Chronicles of Primordial Wars The Legendary Mechanic these 3 are my faveas of now both chronicles and mechanic are completed, TCF is still on-going. Just a heads up tho if you're gonna read The Legendary Mechanic that there is a little romantic subplot in the end chapters, BUT it is so little you can even call it insignificant. Don't even know why they still put it thereI mean it add nothing to the story at all. It's not even romantic subplot, more like MC and female were just sleeping together yesyes omg you dont know how much i hated the sisters when they showed romantic intentions to the MC. But the MC didnt give a fck.
My disciple are all villain- no romance at all for the Mc is focus on not getting killed and focus on his disciple. Chronicle of primordial wars- no romance the mc is a genius and has vast companions. So thrilling!! Tales of the devouring serpent- the mc is a snake who eats to evolve and became the strongest animal. No romance!!!!!
There's no love interest. Spoiler: romantic subplot Lee hyunsung and jung heewon are romantically involved.
Soul of Negary - non-human mc Lord of the Mysteries History’s Number 1 Founder Also, if you’re interested in some slice of life you should check out The Great Storyteller.
Saihate no Paladin. It's MC's friend who first got a girlfriend (and also married). Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School. The translation doesn't do this novel justice; for some chapters it's literally unedited MTL, but just bear with it. The story is surprisingly really good despite the very typical title (and surprisingly no romance, not even a single love interest). Hammurabi Style. Quite short (40 chapters in total), so no romance as MC focused on his revenge plan. Hermit Wizard. I believe the reason for the low rating is the "info dump" in some early chapters (I wouldn't even call that info dump though :/). The world setting is quite unique and you actually get clear explanations for the world's workings (aka "the secret of the universe"). Let Me Game in Peace. If you only want male MC without romance, here you go. Just a warning, you might get bored though I'll recommend this too, for it's not clear whether there will be romance or not, but no romance detected for the most part of the novel & the story is pretty good anyway: I Became the First Prince. Just like you, I really despise romance added to adventure/action novels, so I really wish there's no romance for this one at the end. The plot, the actions are really good. This gives me the feeling of reading a classic fantasy sword fighting story taken in medieval era. Currently (ch 283/350) no romance (hell that's more than halfway to the end!), but some say MC will end up with a girl (or two, damn ) I’m Really Not The Demon God’s Lackey. No romance so far. I once read somewhere that some readers in cn asked the author if there's any romance for MC, and it's a positive, so..... well anyway it's still long ahead and this has good premise too, so there's nothing wrong with reading this for now. I wouldn't recommend reading the manhua adaptation though, the artist basically makes every female character sensual while that's not the impression I get from reading the novel (I believe that's what the market wants). Well, the choice is yours
Spoiler: romantic subplot WHAAAT I THOUGHT THEY WEREN'T CANON [ I read some spoilers accidentally in another site ]

Its not one of the best for others, it was even considered as trash but for me i enjoy it a lot. 'End of the Magic Era' It fits the criteria
