Learn English – Better way to say “No bulls–t”

phrase-request

I'm the person who like concise, and don't like the literature style stuffing in lots of irrelevant information to distract you from the main idea. So when I saw a book called "No bullshit Java", I know that's exactly the kind of writing style I prefer, both reading and writing.

However, that "No bullshit" is kind of stronger than my tolerance. Is there a better phrase that can convey the idea that I don't like those "bullshit", but not as strong?

Example usage:

I read a very useful blog, but there are so many distraction there that it is very easy to miss a step. So I'm documenting it again in my (no-)____ style.

PS. I know I can use the word "concise", but I do want it to be more vivid than that, but not as colorful as "No bullshit". 🙂

Concise only means short or compact and could still have sugar
