Same! I'm finding it hard to find system-based adventure webcomics without any harems or any action in general. Like I don't mind romance however when multiple females starts gain feelings for the MC, the story sometimes just goes off with the bizzare romance Arc or something. ┗( T﹏T )┛It drags the story off and becomes boring...I prefer when there's no romance and it mainly focus on the MC and his journey with companions, whether it's female or male. I guess companionship is more of my thing. Though this is only my thoughts, others might like these types of stories.(⊙…⊙ )
Dungeon reset
Return of the frozen player
Otherworldly sword King's survival records (there's a touch of romance but no harem and it doesn't derail the plot)
A trace of the wonder (this one is bl but I think it's really good and worth reading anyway. Also it's completed)
That's what I was thinking aswell, I tried to get into webnovels after reading orv, but literally all of them were harem, I tried all the popular ones but I only ended up liking a few after trying god knows how many
I also hate typical stories like this, and most of these stories come from Japanese writers.
Even the anime itself is not exempt from many women begging for love with one main male character. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
!! Big agree. I don’t terribly mind romance IF it’s done well (which is not often) but harem and all is so annoying and clutters the story.
Any good non-romance recs? I’ve read the ones recc’ed above.
Is it me or did system-based adventure webcomics start to be all harem or with prominent romance lately?
The target audience changed from general audience to men and you can feel it. When the genre started picking up it had very even parties, with beautiful and fleshed out men and women as companions of equal standing and importance to MC, if there was romance it was like very subdued and only fully picked up by the end of the story, because all characters were focusing on surviving.
Its not that the public changed but… Now it seems like the genre was turned into a trope and a bunch of harem/ecchi/romance writers jumped into it, to the point where it's hard to find adventure stories that don't feature harem. (and by harem I mean an ensemble made mainly of women and where the few men have little importance to the always-male MC). Like, can I get system adventure stories where I don't physically feel "this was written for men to read" at every chapter?
