OP Main/Side Character - Action/Martial Arts/Murim - No Romance

- I'm not against romance or mc end up with a girl BUT I rather not want mc to end up w/ 
anyone. Solo Leveling manhwa gave me alot of trauma by how bad the force romance is.
- first few pages are no rom stuff, afterward there's some subtle rom/have love interest. 
It's on page 7.

Ref:
= my favorite/have re-read multiple times.
 = only 1 love interest

The Player That Can't Level Up

 9.5(125 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): 가빈지, Aengmusae, PARK Jungjae, Studio Khit
Genre(s): Webtoons / Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Mystery

- no romance? yet? (up to c170, honestly idk. although there's 3 candidates, there's nothing more than mc spending very little time w/ each of them). and mc is dense af too plus his virgin boy energy, i can't tell if there will be rom or not unless we reach the ending.)
- no harem
- op mc

the story is good,but nothing special. the mc is a bit slow, but not so much to frustrating. not smart nor prodigy, bc he always need someone (lou) to explain shit.

Author(s): black ajin
Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Shounen / Supernatural / Webtoons


- late rom (to be precise, mc will get married w/ someone (pandora) but that someone appeared soo fuckin late (100+) in the manhwa. in the novel, their "romance" happen 500+ chap later, which literally almost the end. this is why i keep saying time and time again, these action op mc type manhwa/novel is rlly bad at doing 'romance'. I'd rather want at least a hint in early chapters...)

Note: the story is focus more toward strategist, planning rather than action. There's too many dialogue to read I sometimes find myself skipping.

Author(s): Menghuage
Genre(s): Webtoons / Shounen / Action / Comedy / Fantasy / Gender Bender /

- 'female' mc
- subtle romance (kinda BL if you think about it. The MC keep remembering his past self, everything about him is still a guy, except his body. So I can't really see 'her' as a girl the whole time I'm reading this)
- no harem

Solo Leveling

Complete
Author(s): Jang Sung-Lak,Gee So-Lyung
Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Webtoons

- subtle romance (the romance honestly unnecessary, I'd rate this 10/10 if not for the unnecessary romance. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against romance in action if its done right, but this one ain't it. some people say the romance in the novel is better, they might be right. i haven't read the novel. but manhwa, big fucking NO. its instead annoy me so fucking much.)
- no harem

- op mc

This is the cause of my hate on romance in action genre.

Lookism

 9.6(171 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Park Tae Joon
Genre(s): Seinen / Comedy / Drama / School Life / Psychological / Webtoons

- subtle romance (there's multiple love interest. as in others unrequited love towards mc, but the romance is not really the primary focus. Also, the blonde guy included in the love interest category, yep.)
- bromance (mc and the blonde guy)
- probably harem? (multiples female characters but there's also male characters around mc. so idk.)
- op mc and side characters

tbh,the first time i read this,i like it so much. but now,re reading it again, uhh, i lost interest for some reason.

both the trash of the count's family and omniscient reader's viewpoint has absolutely zero romance btw!

thanks for letting me know! I've read both manhwa recent chapters (manhwa only, not novel). omniscient reader, Isn't the mc somewhat interested with his female coworker? (already forgot their name). I'd put 'no romance' if there's absolutely no romance between them. it seems both of them interested with each other, based on the manhwa on recent chapters.
