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

- 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

Mercenary Enrollment

 9.8(240 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): YC,Rakhyun
Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Drama / Webtoons

- no romance. yet. (its one sided crush for now, but can't say for sure when it'll turn into solo leveling romance. but there might, from the way author give chance to the girl to have alone time w/ mc) edit: now I'm 100% sure its going into romance territory after a few more chapters going forward. a bit disappointing tbh...
- no harem
-
- op mc and side characters

The story primarily family oriented and actually unexpectedly wholesome? with big focus on action aswell.

The Player That Can't Level Up

 9.5(126 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): 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

 9.9(1007 voted)
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
- completed


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

Lookism

 9.6(172 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!

Ruzu August 26, 2023 1:11 pm

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.
