No romance stuff, just rec me some extremely good manga with some actual in depth characters and, or plot (manhwa is fine too) just something fun to read that won't leave me bored
I like seinen, caste, survival, survival games, mystery etc
check out a list like this https://www.mangago.me/home/mangalist/34762/
My faves are:
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/ajin/ - horror
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/lookism/ - slight romance, more like a romantic subplot, genre is seinen
https://www.mangago.me/read- https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/shingeki_no_kyojin/ - horror and tragedy feat. graphic violence, gore; the story is based around a sick and twisted society constantly at war in an island called Paradis (once the nation of Eldia) in which people from the advanced technological nation of Marley are injected with a biological agent that turns them into canibalistic "titans" which eat normal humans, the MCs are either soldiers fighting the titans and Marley or titans themselves; my advice is NEVER to watch the live action versions from Japan because the director chose to turn the relationship between Levi, Eren and Mikasa into a love triangle (like wtf), unless you ship that kind of triangle lmao
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/devils_line/ - horror and romance, but imo the romance doesn't detract from the quality of the manga, I like it enough to spend money to collect the official English translations through Amazon
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/baraou_no_souretsu/ - psychological, historical (European medieval), tragedy and romance but the plot is unique enough that the romance is not annoying...it's similar to Shakespearean plots, art is fantastic and characters very twisted in mentality so it's addictive to read
All the above I listed have an anime adaptation. The best anime adaptations of those I listed are Ajin and AoT, but Ajin is defo not for the faint of heart. In terms of graphic gore portrayal, it's probably worse than AoT because the torture of the MC is a scene I will never be able to wash my eyes clean with any abundance of holy water! But the anime is still really great hehehe, mainly because the villain is just too evil and sinister that you can't stop watching
I haven't read much mystery mangas, only BL types so I can't help with that, sorry! I hope you don't skip the ones I listed that have romance because it's not the typical annoying love interests that ruin popular webtoons like Solo Leveling. I don't like to read hetero romance because the heroines are so annoying, and the actual shoujo I've read can be counted on less than the fingers of one of my hands... The mangas listed here are high quality, but if you really hate any kind of romance then just try the ones I mentioned without romance!

https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/shokugeki_no_soma/

https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/baby_steps/
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kuroko_no_basuke/

https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/days/
(all of the above are adapted to anime!, can be found on someplace like Crunchyroll or https://gogoanimeapp.com/)
Hmm, if you can stomach some heavy horror/gore genre, I also loved watching the anime Ajin, which is based off the manga of the same name https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/ajin/
But be warned, there is torture involved, and it's gruesome!
Can anyone rec me black and white manga that takes place in the more historical time setting (no royalty stuff)
Ex: claymore, berserk, Vinland saga
Type setting
have you read vagabond?
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/vagabond/
Fair warning, this one isn't a manga but a manhwa, and it's in B&W (since it's from before the webtoons appeared) : https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/ares/
Not as dark as Berserk and Claymore are but there are some pretty dark arcs. The art is... Well, you've read Claymore, you'll be fine. It's my favorite manhwa, ever. I hope you'll give it a try :)
I like mangagos set up, I just wish they added some more features. Like being able to delete it own reply comments, a dropped/on hold section, options to make lists private etc. Would make it a lot easier
Also tags on mobile aren't working, when I hit enter it just puts me down to the notes inbox
