Hello! Does anyone know fantasy series or any series that doesn't have any romance at all? Or at least the romance is something in the background that isn't noticeably or isn't the main focus? Thanks!

The Passage is a good series with minimal romance.
thanks, @escapeto books@jude Pendleton yeah I read in Arabic I'm actually Egyptian
Jade city! it's definitely there but not really talked about/ highlighted on.
not a series, but the sword of kaigen is an amazing high fantasy book, really character focused (with an amazing story too!) but i'd say the main relationship in these books is not romantic but rather that of mother/son, as the book two protagonist are mamoru and his mother, misaki.
Jade City is actually on my tbr, but now I'm more excited to read it!I've heard about The Sword of Kaigen before. maybe I'll add it to my tbr, thanks!
the bear and the nightingale! the romance is barely there in the first two books and it is definitively not the main plot in the third.
another rec is spinning silver by naomi novik. it's not a series, but it's so good and the romance is only hinted at. you can also try classics such as a song of ice and fire. odin's child is also a great fantasy trilogy with only a tiny sprinkle of romance.
Six of Crows! It has some romance, but not too much. Even my little brother read it, and he barely reads books that aren't Harry Potter.
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. The first book is The Final Empire. It's really heavy on the super unique magic system and world building but easy enough to understand. I loved it.

Fantasy comparable to Tolkien and little to no romance.
thank you all!@Alva, wait do you mean that A Song of Ice and Fire isn't spicy?
and does anyone know if Daughter of the Pirate King spicy or not?
daughter of the pirate king is not spicy
The Liveship Traders series by Robyn Hobb. She has other series, but that is the only one I have read, so far. Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman might be one to try, though that edges on horror.
The poppy war Shadow of the fox
Anything from Sanderson
