OP Main/Side Character - Action/Martial Arts/Murim - No Romance

-no romance
-no harem

Note: There's manhua adaptation. but I didn't add it here because of controversy.Many ppl don't like the manhua bc the manhua didn't ask for permission from the novel author.I personally haven't read this yet,but I heard many good things about it and has been recommended many times.

- no romance

Tags: same universe as ORV, god, awakened, emotionless mc, determined mc, based on novel

Note: the novel is created before ORV. we can see many references from ORV in this, but oddly enough i don't see reference of this character in ORV? or i might not see it YET, idk. 2nd arc (c90) An Abyss, getting really interesting. reason why? he want to save someone important to him, its connected to orv universe, more badass action scene.

no such thing as romance in mc minds. the only human he ever being sincere/show interest in is the 'bromance' guy.
This is one of my favorite, because of the mc and the humor is just my type of humor.
Reading first chapter for the first time, its quite unusual to see 'bishounen' art style in action manhwa. (very much like BL/otome art style)

Note: there will be artist changed starting c19, and will gradually get even better. also this is a first ever manhwa I've read where its 100% no romance despite there's female character that somewhat interested with mc. i say 100% bc the novel has ended and it didn't have any.

The world full of 'Hero'..and betrayal. People with power who you thought as a trusted comrades, a Hero, turn out to be a greedy scum.

Thought:
This is the most satisfying read I had in a while. why? bcause its finished,the chapters is not overly long like 250+,the slow pace (some ppl don't like the slow pace),the ending and no romance.

- no romance (others have a crush on him,but its not gonna happen. UNLESS,the manhwa adapt decided to change the story. that will change my rating immediately. hopefully not).

I'm not sure y this never get recommended whenever I tried searching for 'no romance'/'bromance' stuff. I assume not many ppl know abt it.

- no romance, my gut feeling he's not interested until the end bc i see how he act and he doesn't show any interest at all. currently c140 << I'll change this claim if there's more chapters. (its one-sided, idk if he will reciprocate. there's 2 female char has a crush on mc. i did say i hate romance esp multiple ppl interested in mc.but for some reason i don't really get annoyed or mind in this one. the girls are fine.)
