No Romance, Ensemble Cast

Books: 22
Follows: 1
Updated: 6mo ago

Since most stories lose all common sense as soon as they introduce romance, I’ve preferred romance-free stories and ensemble casts pursuing their careers over the past two years. Recommendations are welcome. I’ve read at least half of every novel I recommend. Please let me know if any later developments no longer fit the theme

Luger was sullen. He noticed that he was losing some hair recently. But that's not important. The door to the extraordinary world is opening to him. He's going to become a powerful wizard and then make himself covered in scales like that annoying, terrifying twenty-eight-clawed earth-burrowing dragon. In his spare time, he often dreams, dreaming that he no longer has a dog-headed face, but has transformed back into the refreshing human being. He also often thought about letting his almost bald forehead grow into the slender and twisted horns of the advanced demon species. But that's not much easier than growing scales. The legendary dragon and powerful demon species will have a natural human form when they reach adulthood. Yes, a huge detour, just to become a human again and say goodbye to the smelly kobold body that only keeps shedding hair. At least at first, that's what he thought.
