    This novel, "The Way of the Farmer," is about cultivating immortality while farming. It's about focusing on cultivation, growing spiritual plants, and is truly devoid of female leads, romantic pairings, and ambiguity. There are very few female supporting characters.

    The following serialized novels currently have no female lead; all completed ones also lack a female lead. Genre: Cultivation, Martial Arts, Werewolf, Food, Pokémon, Survival, Online Games, Awakening, Qin Dynasty (serving Qin Shi Huang), Rule-based Mysteries, and Support-type novels are all included below. For Cultivation, I recommend the first one, featuring a male lead with no desires; the second one is good at the beginning but has a bad ending—a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. The fourth Werewolf novel is the best; the two Pokémon novels are different types of Support-type novels; the fourteenth one, the one with the purification element, is good; the God-level one is too old to remember, so it's just average. The rest are mostly single-genre.
