    The first two are about protagonists who transform into tigers, with no female lead and they don't transform back into humans. They are very morally upright, and those who enjoy this kind of story are lucky! The third one is about a rich second-generation heir who becomes a forest ranger and his daily life with many furry creatures. The protagonist is strong and peaceful, with some live-streaming segments, but the content is very calm and normal. There's also no female lead! The fourth one is about a protagonist who transforms into a tiger demon and cultivates, but fails to pass the tribulation at his highest cultivation level. He ends up as a mountain lord in a small mountain village. Incense can help heal his wounds, but he doesn't force the villagers to give him incense. The protagonist is also very powerful. There's no female lead, just everyday life! The fifth one is a survival story. I've read several survival stories by this author, and the content is quite good. There's no female lead, and certainly no female supporting characters. There are pets, and the male lead is a summoner. It's quite enjoyable! The sixth one is also a survival story, a road trip, but with a female lead. There's no male lead, and the female lead is very powerful. She's the type who gets more ruthless the more she drives, smart but not reckless—a classic female-led road trip survival story! The seventh story is about a White Impermanence (not the Seventh or Eighth Master), who has a live streaming system and educates everyone about the culture of the underworld. You will also see all walks of life. There is no female lead; the male lead is just a career-oriented person with a pet!

    Highly recommended! No female lead, no romantic subplots. 1. It's a supernatural tale with a smart protagonist who isn't a saint. 2. It's a cultivation story, very funny. I've read over 200 chapters, staying up until 4 AM, and it made me laugh so hard.

    I personally dislike novels about national destiny, so I won't recommend them, but it seems many of these novels lack female leads. The first book has only one female character in the main group, and her presence is very weak. Although you encounter other women later, I think it's quite normal. The second book has a really disgusting female supporting character at the beginning (she's genuinely disgusting), but the protagonist kills her off. There's also Yu Nian'an, but she's actually a character the protagonist created because he couldn't awaken his own powers, forcibly inserted into his memories. This foreshadowing is there earlier. There are female characters, but their interactions are limited. There are also other characters' autobiographies, which can be read as side stories. I think both the protagonist and antagonists are intelligent. The third book might have some contradictions at the beginning, but it's better in the middle and later stages. There are basically no female supporting characters. The fourth book has few female supporting characters, and the protagonist really feels like an NPC in a game. Later, a female NPC and a player fall in love, but this has nothing to do with the protagonist. The fifth book is similar to the fourth, but the protagonist interacts more with the player, and besides the player, there's only one female supporting character.

    The lack of a female lead fits the criteria, but it's unclear whether the currently updating book will develop any romantic subplots. The author's description of "no female lead" is quite clear.
