— no harem, ecchi, romance —

Here’s a list of stories without [insert title] since I’m personally not a big fan of it. Also, please don’t mind my awful reviews, I’m really bad at it lmao.

Feel free to comment below on any recommendations that I should add to the list! It’d help both me and others a lot!

May include: Horror, Supernatural, Psychological, etc.

(p.s. it’s mostly male leads but i’d like to find ones with female leads as well)

Arcana Fantasy

 9.0(172 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Yoohee,Phoem
Genre(s): Action / Fantasy / Webtoons

the male lead’s father, who was a pro gamer, was playing a very popular mobile game called Arcana Fantasy and had disappeared without a trace. The mother was scared and wanted the male lead to log in to the game and find his father. however, individuals who log on to the game lose consciousness in the actual world and cannot escape the game until someone plays to the end.

it's a decent story, but it's kind of confusing

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.

I would recommend some good manhwa like: Baek XX, The World’s Best Engineer, I’m Not That Kind of Talent and Villain Initialization ( not a manhwa but still really good :>). I also think u would like: Tokyo Alien Bros, Koudou ni Hattatsu Shita Igaku wa Mahou to Kubetsu ga Tsukanai if u prefer a little bit of Japanese goodness stuff (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I have a lot more books if u want, let me know if u like them ( ̄∇ ̄")
