I read the whole main story of Solo Leveling cause there where no real romance for the MC, but didnt read the side stories afterwards cause I know it focused on romance for himSure, I get that. But such vehemence to comment on a story you're apparently not reading because of a hint of characters being a bit more well rounded..
Something can be more than one thing, it might even make it better as a story. I know I wouldn't want to miss out on something like Solo Leveling because "girls are icky!"
As Said I look after fantasy/adventure series without romance tag since I dont read these series for romance. This series caught my attention cause of the factors above, but then it looks like it is just like 90% of manhwa series that doesnt use romance tag aswell even though there is romance
