Countless people had entered a game called Survival at Sea. From the start, all they had was a wooden raft and a fishing rod. Every supply had to be caught on a line. Sharks, giant beasts, bitter cold, hurricanes, and merciless hunting between people. Survival became incredibly difficult, and supplies were scarce and precious.

    The poster expressed my thoughts, and also mentioned a story where the main character doesn't have a romantic partner, but their friends/family do. I remember reading a long time ago a book where the main character didn't have a romantic partner, but later the main character's best friend and the main character's brother got together, and all sorts of hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress tropes and other romantic tropes appeared.

    Absolutely no romance. I haven't seen any romantic pairings in the first book yet. It's a lone wolf story.

    All of these are confirmed to be non-romantic. The first is a reincarnation story where the protagonist goes back in time to write a novel, and later explores many parallel worlds, which is quite interesting. The second is about school friendships; the female protagonist goes to a class to change the students, and there might be some seemingly ambiguous relationships with boys, but it's definitely non-romantic. The third is highly recommended; every character is very well-developed, and it's a game-invasion-reality story. Watching the female protagonist's reincarnation and revenge against the villains sometimes makes you feel sorry for them, yet also think they're despicable. The fourth is also a game-invasion story, where people enter a dungeon, and the female protagonist is also reincarnated; it's quite interesting, depending on personal preference. The fifth is a unique raft survival story where the female protagonist reports to the country after her reincarnation; the writing is delicate, but the plot is very slow, which some people might not like—one event can be covered in many chapters. It's important to emphasize that the female protagonist and her brother are non-romantic. Don't make wild guesses based on the father's teasing in the story! The sixth is a girl group entering a world of supernatural tales, which is also quite interesting. The seventh is a game becoming reality; the female protagonist plays games relentlessly after her reincarnation. The eighth is a plagiarism story where the female protagonist adapts famous TV series and movies in a parallel world. The ninth book features a female protagonist with a save-loading cheat, allowing her to repeatedly reload saves; it's a cultivation-themed, fast-paced novel. The tenth book has a female protagonist bound to multiple systems, making her quite powerful, but it's entirely without romance. Even if there are some ambiguous scenes, they're more for trending topics; the female protagonist has no interest in men and is solely focused on her company. The eleventh book has a female protagonist bound to a system who runs a spendthrift company; it's quite interesting. The twelfth book features a female protagonist who is reborn and has her entire class's fate changed by mind-reading; it's a rather interesting book in the mind-reading genre. The thirteenth book is also in the mind-reading genre, but set in the cultivation world, and it's quite interesting as well. All of them are without romance, but unfortunately, they're all still ongoing, and following them every day is exhausting.
