The second is also without a female lead; the protagonist focuses on killing ghosts. The third is also without a female lead; the protagonist's team is all male, with only handsome young men around. The fourth currently has no female lead because the author hasn't finished it yet, but the only woman the protagonist is familiar with is a lesbian. The fifth has no female lead; the protagonist is decisive and ruthless, levels up quickly, and is super enjoyable to read. The fifth is also without a female lead and features superpowers.
