    I love reading novels without a female lead. Every time I click on a novel, I check the comments first to see if there's a female lead. I hate it when the female lead dies halfway through. Most of the novels I recommend are lighthearted and enjoyable, but they still have some brains. The first one is Chen Xiao's solo journey, absolutely no ambiguity, but the ending is a bit tragic ( •̥́ ˍ •̀ ). Overall, it's quite enjoyable (I read it on another account, and I finished it! I really love Xiao-ge T^T). The seventh one is without a male lead (meaning the protagonist is female, no romance, I thought about it but still added it, apologies if you mind, I personally think it's quite good). The eighth one has a young male lead who is a supporting character. The ninth one is about the entertainment industry. I personally think there's no female lead, and the author also marked it as no romance, but some people are concerned about the manager, saying they talk too much. But I think the manager is almost 30, and the male lead has just graduated from university, so it's impossible for them to be together... Besides, they only talk about their careers, so I recommended it.

    The first book was purely a wish-fulfillment novel, but the emotions were still very rich and profound. The author, probably born in the 2000s, tends to see things in black and white. However, the pure wish-fulfillment elements progress very quickly, making it quite enjoyable. The second book was the first military novel I ever read. It was very long, but the emotions were written very delicately. Sometimes it was very satisfying, and sometimes it was very heartbreaking. The emotions were also well-written, but be careful, mainly because it's really tear-jerking. The supporting characters' romantic relationships were so tragic [crying]. It started off so sweet, then became so tragic, and then became sweet again. The ending was really a bit unexpected. If I remember correctly, the third book was also written by the same author as the second one, and it was also quite good. The fourth book was also roughly the first romance novel I followed. It was good, but I didn't continue reading, so I'm not sure if there were any romantic pairings. But it's highly likely there weren't. The fifth book is one I've been following for almost two years. It has almost no romantic subplots, a bit gory, but the protagonist is very intelligent [laughs].

    Trust me, these three books are all great. The first one is fast-paced and requires some brainpower to read, but it's very enjoyable. It's not finished yet and there's no female lead. If you're interested, you can check it out. I think the second one is super good; the protagonist is a bit eccentric and uses a sword, which is really cool. The third one is also good and quite enjoyable. It's also a fast-paced, enjoyable read, but I haven't finished it yet. However, it probably doesn't have a female lead (just my personal opinion).

    🌼🌼The protagonist is very career-oriented, there are no messy romantic subplots, and every story is excellent. He's a domineering CEO in a supernatural world, and the original protagonist of a post-apocalyptic rebirth novel—this one is amazing, he directly takes over the spatial dimension!

    I absolutely love it! There's no female lead, no ambiguous relationships, the protagonist isn't a saint, he has a powerful background and strength, the system rarely appears, the Taoist atmosphere is great, and there's a plot involving the destruction of a kingdom (on that little red-dot island). I highly recommend it.
