Yeh Kenshi is good too. We are talking about story lite rpgs here right? Not completely text or plot free? Theres heaps of them - story lites, I mean - but very few/none that have ZERO story.

So you want an RPG that's removed from dialogue, story, world building, and player driven narrative, while still having deep strategic combat, choices with real consequences, and multiple viable playstyles that come with their own advantages and disadvantages?
Yes.

recommend me a real RPG, not a visual novel or interactive books.

...you're describing chess and technically it comes in video-game form, for free, on your web browser. have fun!
People are right in making fun of you for this post.
I don't particularly care if people like or dislike my posts because I'm not a low testosterone redditor that requires group validation. The Daddy don't care, simple as.

With that being said though I completely disagree that Kenshi isn't story based. It doesn't have long contrived dialogue or complex character interactions, but a ton of work went into the world-building, art, setting, etc.

There's a reason Chris Hunt describes the game's artistic direction as being a collaborative effort despite his sister only handling the writing.

Although I do agree with the bit about JRPGs, I don't consider the super story-heavy linear games like Final Fantasy to even really be RPG games.
