— 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)

Lookism

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

the male lead was bullied because he was seen as unattractive and obese. however, a “miracle” happened, making his life somewhat better. he makes new friends and get into many fights.

absolutely love this webcomic. the male lead has his own values and knows what’s right and wrong, which makes him an admirable character. his friends are great as well. there are some aspects of romance but they can be ignored easily.

Trash of the Count's Family

 9.7(453 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): elegant yoo ryeo han 유려한,pan4
Genre(s): Seinen / Webtoons / Action / Adventure / Comedy / Fantasy

the male lead was suddenly inside the novel, [The Birth of a Hero] as the trash of the Count’s family. however, in the novel, the man was beaten to a pulp by the main character. because the male lead was summoned into the novel before the events, he tries to solve the problems ahead of him to live a peaceful life afterwards.

i absolutely love how the ML still acts like the trash that he is instead of a completely different person. i cant wait to see how this will go~! ^^

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 ( ̄∇ ̄")
