She said we are good friends, so I resisted the desire to hold her hand. But when she raised her head and looked at me with bright round eyes, I felt that my heart was no longer beating.... more>>

Childhood friends to lovers is definitely the sweetest trope. And I'm also curious. How does it feel to grow up and see a handsome face almost everyday?

Please follow the list if you like the novels listed and do tell if you have recommendations.

I like how they take the risk, follow their heart and confess. How the relationship change from friends-ambiguous relationship-lovers.

Recommended novels not linked to NU (title and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable) <<less

Female lead and Male lead know each other since they are practically children.  Do comment if you have any suggestion for me!

As the title said, this is a list of romcom novels with childhood friends. I hope you are able to find a new novel to read here.

I will update the list from time to time so make sure you follow especially new novels later.

Note: I am likely to exclude triangle love drama that been dragged/milk for so long <<less

Some of them are completely translated though the remaining are still under translation you can easily understand the MTLed version. 

The novels listed below are not particularly in order. I’ll add more once I found those novels I forgot to save 2 years ago. 

Hope this list will help you choose great novels to read.

You can also comment your novel suggestions so that others can enjoy it too!  HAPPY READING!! <<less

This list will focus on protagonists which have been abandoned by their childhood sweethearts or best friends. I will probably also add some stories which... more>> has strong theme of abandonment and loneliness <<less

* FL is either a child, a part of a big family, or raising a family *

I've reached the max 100 novels per list so I will start removing unfinished dropped novels so that I can add regularly-updated novels. I might just put the removed novels in the comments so I can go back to them. <<less

For those who's looking for ML that has been broken, misunderstood and betrayed by their love one's...... more>>

ML's still looking for Redemption.... <<less

I'M YOUR TYPICAL ROMANCE CONSUMER ALWAYS IN NEED OF SWEETNESS MINUS THE BLOOD SHEDDING AND REVENGE SHENANIGANS. SERIOUSLY, CAN YA'LL JUST CHILL?... more>>

some of these novels may tug your heart a bit and makes you teary-eyed but that makes the story even more sweeter! I'm someone who cannot read a story without knowing if it has a happy ending, so rest assured, your heart is safe with these novels!

these are in no particular order. <<less

Romance type I'd like to add:... more>>

RomCom/Romance-school/Romance-harem(?) Only.
Japanese Only.  Focused on recently added wn/ln. 

Continuation from "Romance4Life"For people who feel lazy to load more than 2 page LMAO <<less

Gems and treasures found in Novelupdates!! Stories that you'll never be forgotten. Like a sculpture, carve by the authors amazing minds.

Romance that started in school. Couples that met and grew through school.

Romance/slice of life stories I really enjoyed, and some of these are the best novels I've read. Quite some of these are really sweet (at least I think so), so prepare yourselves.... more>>

Note: NU doesn't classify some of these as slice of life but I would. Also some harem so if you don't like it you can skip over those. Mostly JP. No R18. No shoujo/josei either.

If you have anything you'd like to recommend to me, please do, I'd appreciate it. <<less

Novels suggestions with BG BL and currently no GL but do recommend! Novels are not in order and this list is currently not completed

Transmigration OR Rebirth ... more>>

Becoming cannon fodder , Becoming a mother, becoming the villainess <<less

In this collection you’ll have some of the most heartwarming, evocative, and emotionally moving stories alongside some cute fluffy less dramatic stories. All of these... more>> stories have a happy ending. Note, this is only part one. Since NU only allows 100 titles per list, I have extended the titles into 2 parts. Part 2 is here https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/19618/ <<less

What's up with this innocent title? Wow the contents of this list are so filthy hahaha but you wanted this didn't you?... more>>

A brief explanation scene: My family has been close with our neighbor's since I was young, so he and I took baths together when we were younger but he's starting to... grow. Hey, I feel like I want to touch him but... I want to do it with him... but what is it? Does he know? Should I learn how to do it? Should I ask him if he knows how to?

Not all novels will fall under that territory but this kind of "they'll teach me" or "let's try it together" noobie behavior is clumsy and sometimes like drawing on a blank paper. What you teach is their first experience so... more opportunities for kinks to arise from the ashes!!! mwahaha

Oh, and I hate actual torture (where the protagonist is actually living in hell and enjoys nothing). Sick f*cks. Even if I prefer seeing the MC cry and push their masochistic limits, I DO NOT want to see them resolutely hate it.  <<less

Historical | Isekaid | went back to time | Divorce | Step Mom | Forbidden Love | One sided love... more>>

Note: not everyday but as long as i read a nice novel i immediaty add it here in my list <<less

vanilla story with containing childhood friends, no degenerate stuff.

This list contains a diverse genres/themes. I read historical, contemporary, wuxia, etc. I am especially into slice of life. I am going to try to add only novels that are fully translated. I do hope this list gives you some novels to enjoy. I'll try updating once in a while! ... more>>

PS I haven't updated this list recently because I am reading novels from webnovel. Discovered some good and bad ones. haha I will get back to novelupdates soon coz i have currently 275 completely translated novels in my reading list O_O  <<less

No description.

Lots of action - in bed and out of, sometimes le*d, but mostly sexy erotica.  I'll try not to include pure smut novels without plot unless it's ‘extremely extremely’ smexy and erotic, but they are very few. Be warned, some of them have r*pe scenes (I'll mark them).... more>>

My 'Spicyness Rating' is not based on the quantity of XXX scenes but how  smexy or memorable it was, imo.

I've read 'You've Got a Cautionary Tale' but so far... meh!!

(to be updated as I read more) <<less

Ps- the novels start with child protagonists but they night grow up later

This is a list to reminisce about youth, for unrequited feelings from the past... more>>

Heartwarming and somehow missed

Also the ranking in this list is not based on numbers. All the stories here have their own characteristics. Please enjoy reading! <<less
