Can people live without romance

When life is a joke that's both funny and cruel, I guess that's how to interpret this one. It's a pretty tough one to read honestly, but it's really good. The warnings are just a lot of clinginess from everyone but never been excessive that can ruin the experience. Dude honestly him dying would be mercy than that life he's living.

No romance just fights, dude is grinding hard to be OP for revenge and always looking for a good fight. Though he fights a lot and makes a lot of enemies, he's surprisingly attentive to the main scenario. Around 115 there's a new npc that blushes at him? I'm confused for the time being but I'm pretty sure it's an npc.

No romance. MC is a 25 yo dude who died and transmigrated into a webtoon story as a dragon hatchling, his goal is to live despite the world he's living in wants him dead all the time. It's fun, he gradually becomes more and more childlike and it's understandable given the time he has spent as one. Slight side romance story but really not a bother.

No romance as everyone is trying to survive. MC is smart but also lucky, great story. There's occasional shipping of MC with his lady friend but both deny without making unnecessary fuss.

No romance besides side characters love that is MC's parents. Caution, very cute baby like deadass. MC remembers all his past lives and keeps his past abilities stored to be used when needed. Great story and waiting for more.

No romance, MC is reincarnated and plotting for revenge. Long story short I keep thinking MC is basically ba*k jongw*n if he would ever reincarnated as an idol lol. Great story!

No romance. You know those trope of the most powerful warrior/god wanting to have a peaceful life after the great war? Well this is it basically lol, MC just wants to open a restaurant back on earth. There's a lot of blushes from every gender as they keep complimenting him but that's about it imo, MC's restaurant is like a place where people hang out and have "good food".

rest in peace to the author. No romance so far. It's like MC reborn as someone from his enemy's side (a 14/15 yo boy) and he plans to stop the war that is going to come by all means. I don't know about continuation but honestly it's a pretty good read. Lots of gruesome deaths and bloodshed, I guess? Not much gore-y but less mercy.
