The following are Japanese novels about the lives of parents (father/mother) with their children living in a fantasy world.  The plot of the story generally... more>> focuses on adventure, drama, comedy, and SoL.  The plot of the story may contain romance and harem as subplots or genres although I try to avoid them as much as possible.  Don't forget I will avoid the red genres as much as possible so that it is friendly to read to everyone.  And here are the novel recommendations: <<less

If you don't like romance and harem novels, then this list might help you find good novels.  This list of Japanese novels is generally of the SOL, fantasy, and adventure genres with the theme of family and friendship.  ... more>>

For example, the adventures of a father and his daughter in a fantasy world.  Or it could be SOL's story that warms the heart.  

Apart from avoiding the harem and romance genres, I also try to avoid red genres as much as possible (genres are forbidden or should not be read by children or under 15 years old) such as adult, mature, ecchi, and gore. But it could be that in the story there is some content as subplots even though it is not the focus of the story. I mean, I'm also disturbed or uncomfortable with the existence of the red genres or similar contents, even though sometimes the contents are a little needed for plot story development.

The following are recommendations for Japanese novels without romance and harem but focusing on stories of family and friendship in a fantasy world. I hope that you all enjoy reading these novels! <<less
