    These are all books I really like; they're all ensemble novels without romantic pairings. If you're interested, you can read the synopsis. I won't go into too much detail, but they're definitely good.

    This character is ruthless and decisive, never giving anyone a chance to talk and just beheading. The female lead isn't initially apparent, but it's gradually revealed later. She's there, but there's no romance or flirtatious talk; she just follows the protagonist, killing her way through the enemy ranks.
