   Reader note

   The first book is absolutely the best! The male protagonist has a pitiful background and seems devoid of emotions, so he's too lazy to talk to girls, let alone have any romantic relationships. The second book also has no female lead, but there's a slight hint of a female senior. The third book is just for you to read—lots of multiple identities and fighting against enemies far stronger than himself. There are no girls around, no female teachers, and no female seniors. I recommend it. The fourth book—I don't want to say much, just read it! It has no flaws, no female lead!! Super good, and it's an ensemble piece with an excessively strong male lead. The fifth book has no female lead, just lots of romantic ambiguity—you might want to check it out.

   Reader note

   The first book is about card making, an ensemble piece; it's been a long time since we've seen normal geniuses, and our He Miao is super cheerful. The second book has superpowers; there might be a female classmate at the beginning, but she disappears after a few chapters. She's a bit aloof and slightly crazy, but a good guy. The third book has superpowers; a female character is interested in the protagonist, but the protagonist's goal is always revenge. The fourth book has superpowers; the title might not be appealing, but it's definitely no romance, and the protagonist is highly intelligent. The fifth book has a bit of a charmer vibe, but the protagonist won't choose anyone. The sixth book is the kind where the protagonist is powerful from beginning to end.

    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 thirteenth 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.

    359 He An's three books are very simple. The plots are tight, and the protagonists aren't overly idealistic. The only downside is that the endings feel a bit rushed, but you can see that each book shows improvement. They're amazing! 1. This one is a hidden gem. 2. This one was a surprise; it immediately got me hooked on Warhammer 4. The ensemble cast is great, and the protagonist is really charismatic. 6. This one is quite unconventional and fun. 7. This one is rather heartwarming. 8. I've only read half of this one, and I'm already in love with it. Every single one is a masterpiece without a romantic pairing! If you're interested, you can click to see the synopsis. My summary is a bit rough.
