So... I'm bored and want to read something new. I am averse to yaoi and harem, and has little interest in romance. What I like is in my reading list, though I don't mind passive MC (as long as it is not harem anyway). I don't like xianxia and xuanhuan, though wuxia is alright.
Dungeon Hunter and Dimensional Sovereign, both have a semi-harem that forms along the way, but its mainly to do with action fighting and getting stronger.
History's strongest senior brother don't know if it's herem or not though it satisfies me with the less bullshit like in True Martial World
So you like a lot of off beat stories. First 2 I am going to recommend are originals. Both have unique aspects, and both can be found on community fiction forum on this site. These 2 are as good as almost any story on NU. - Heaven on Golden Wings: https://www.lupineking.com/ 1 book and a half. Actual Use of arrays, western common sense thrown into and replacing typical xianxia troupes. - The Great Game - The Young Master: http://liberspark.com/novel/the-great-game-the-young-master Terrible synopsis, get through the first 15 chapters and give it a chance. Lots of good humor in this one. Intelligence too.... The only one on this list with a harem, but they are strong women that are as important to the story as the MC is... So its not typical, actually, its brilliant. Now NU novels that stand out as different that I did not see on your list: Even if most are Xuanhuan Chronicles of a Primordial War Cultivation Chat Group Pivot of the Sky Undefeated God of War Lord Xue Ying Legend Age of Adepts Divine Throne of a Primordial Blood Seoul's Station Necromancer Battle Frenzy
I was so disappointed with D.S. It has such a good premise and started so well, but then it moved way to fast.
I don't think I saw Overlord in your reading list if you haven't already read this than you should give this novel a try.
As @L4 recommended you should definitely give this novel a read! Against the Gods is just what you are looking for.The MC of this novel is a real GENTLEMAN.
knights and magic - got into it recently. pretty good. long chapters Poison Genius Consort - mostly an adventure drama. True, she has an early marriage but the romance is like... watching paint dry. I think the first moment they had was when the male lead got to see the female protagonist's bare feet when she twisted her ankle. They do one thing about every one hundred chapters haha. It's mostly politics, adventure, mystery, and fighting. Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~ - you seem to like hard-working protagonists who try to get stronger. the wizard with the flower blades - original story, but it's very good!

Game changer - Short completed Novels The Bathroom Goddess - the title says it all Tabi ni Deyou, Horobiyuku Sekai no Hate Made - Apocalypse Slice of Life Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? - game world (like No Game No Life) The Girl Who Ate a Death God - dark fantasy I Want to Eat Your Pancreas - School drama, most decorated novel so far
I just don't click with Overlord. That's all. When I read it, I feel bored. Anyway, since it is not updated, I don't bother to add it to my dropped list. Warlock of the Magus World is the leylin one, right? TKA is boring when I reached 150. Can't slog through more repetitive plot. Dropped. I haven't read Green Skin. . Dragoon - Read I'm rather iffy on reading japanese novel. The moment they devolve into harem, I just get bored of it. Now, let's review. Dragoon - on the list. Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear - Tiring. Isekai Izakaya Nobu - Haven't read. Cook of the Mercenary Corps Kumo Desu ga, Nanika? - I don't follow this anymore post godhood. Isekai Yururi Kikou Wagamama Onna Death March - Tiring. Doesn't give me a memorable impression. The New Gate - Tiring. Doesn't give me a memorable impression. Average Abilities - Tiring. Doesn't give me a memorable impression. Kusuriya no Hitorigoto Isekai Gakkyuu. - Haven't read. (Um, Sorry) I’ve Been Reincarnated! Doesn't give me a memorable impression. No Fatigue. - Doesn't give me a memorable impression. Magi's Grandson. - Doesn't give me a memorable impression. Skeleton Knight. - Doesn't give me a memorable impression. Ossan VRMMO - following this one in manga. Only Sense Online - Krytyk haven't updated in so long, right? Evil-like Duke Household. - Doesn't give me a memorable impression. Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou - Haven't read Invincible Saint Ryuugoroshi The Reincarnated Person Doesn’t Want to Cheat. - Doesn't give me a memorable impression. KnM is annoying. Mostly the female one of the sibling (adel? ady?) feels odd to me. I'm going to read Invicible Saint right now. will shelve the other recs later. thanks.
