Well for me this manga is the best of the best in terms of story, MC, and the no-romance plot. The closest I can think of is A Returner's Magic Should Be Special (link: http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/a_returner_s_magic_should_be_special/).
Another one that's pretty good, but not very similar, is Saihate no Paladin (link: http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/saihate_no_paladin/). Truthfully, Solo Leveling is in a league of its own.
You could also check out my list of (in my opinion) top-tier stories like this (but be forewarned, most of them are shoujo-types so...). Link: http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/418439/?filter=&page=1

It's like you fall in love with one girl and it's going good but then another hoe steps in and thn you ship her a bit and it's fine BUT THEN Another! Bitch walks in and it's like WHOS DISTURBING MY SHIP!? but then you like her and make her the main ship BUT THEN ANOTHER BITVH WALKS IN AMD MESSES EVERTHING UP AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SHIPPING MC WITH HIS GOLEM SO ONCE SHE GROWS UP THERES GONNA BE EVEN MORE PROBLEMS WITH SHIPS BUT SHES HIS DAUGHTER!? BUT PEOPLE INSIST ON THIS
The character development (weak > OP) and the game-like fantasy setting was done really well here. None of the characters are annoying, and thank god THERE IS NO HAREM. can anyone recommend something similar?
