In my (unpopular) opinion, the only thing FL has going for her is that she's pretty and has a lot of money. If you didn't like the romance in Solo Leveling where FL is actually pretty strong and the ML hasn't even thought about dating (which in my opinion doesn't count as romance) then I feel you definitely won't like this.
I was reading Solo Leveling but then the romance added in it ruined the experience for me so I stop reading the novel. I am currently looking for a different novel that can wash off the disgust. I have read the novel Omniscient Reader and Trash of Count's Family (thank the Gods and the Constellations it got no romance there, just platonic love and dedication as friends/family).
Is this okay as well? I heard the novel is better than the webtoon but I will read the webtoon first before novel (for visual refs and daydream fuel). I just wanna know the opinion of the long time readers, will there be romance? Will it add good flavor to the story? I find it annoying how romance ruin a lot of good novels/webtoons because the MC's partner is bland or stupid.
I don't really care if the context of the story is the same as others (OP mc, reincarnation, transmigration, leveling, dungeons, items, time travel, etc), as long as the Author is witty and keeps me surprised about MCs antics I will love it. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
I am also not bothered by side characters that are annoying or biatchy as long as they will be get either salvation or destruction when the time comes. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
