Check out Renjou Desperado. There is “romance” here, in the sense that our strong but luckless MC is desperately trying, and failing, to find a husband.
I mostly read light novels or manga adapted from light novels, so I’d like some more recommendations. I’m fine with any type of suggestion (including manhwa/manhua or more light novel/web novel adaptations.)
While I prefer no romance, a romance like in Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter or Tearmoon Empire is okay since the romance isn’t the main focus; yuri is also OK.
Open to most genres but I particularly want more isekai/reincarnation/VR. Here is a list of examples: [Female isekai/reincarnation/VR manga/comics with no/minimal romance.](https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/168096.Female_isekai_comics_with_no_minimal_romance#top)
Gender bender is OK.
