Some of my best reads, regardless of genre.... more>>

I trust my taste. <<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

continuation from my previous reading list

This is put together from what I thought was interesting, screened, and planning to read. (つ✧ᆺ✧)っ 

I laugh a lot while reading all of these, their interactions are fun and heartwarming. The plot is not heavy but 'there', so it's not a mindless read. Wish you'll enjoy it too.... more>>

No description.

novels that either I finished, felt like I’ve ridden an emotional roller coaster, felt like I’ve gain new insights, became addicted to the point of binge reading it, or feel like my time wasn’t wasted.... more>>

 If romance : unconditional love, devoted love, loyalty, non toxic traits, etc. I love relationships of which who would love each other no matter what or wouldn’t care if the world is against them, and they’re willing to wait for the other even if it meant for an eternity. Or just lovers respecting e/o. I rarely like any harems, not my cup of tea and sometimes would prefer the none-romance route tbh.

If story : the characters, accounting, morals, lessons, plots, world building, rating, the pace, the ending, etc. must be taken into account. If I have no complaints, then the story must be decent.

I’m a naturally picker and have a short attention span reader so it’ll take me a while to actually get immersed into a novel intensely. 

Or just a novel that caught my eyes or I wanna try. 

The novels aren’t in order. So there’ll be Seinen, Shoujo, Shounen-ai, shoujo-ai, kr/jp/ch, mature, lighthearted/heavy material, etc. in between. It’s too hard to sort them out.

I also added some songs that fit the vibes of each novels or characters ^~^) remember to check these cool songs. <<less

A series of BL novels with varying plots and subgenres! Fluff, unlimited flow, xianxia, historical, quick transmigration, transmigration, supernatural, slow romance, comedy, mature (in terms of thinking and actions), etc. ... more>>

Minimal amount of angst and dogblood (if there's even any) (￣▽￣* )ゞ

Edit: I may have taken a bit of a liking towards angst nowadays... only a little. ( ˘︹˘ )

BL's I REALLY LIKE based on my own preference, and *coughs* I don't like s*upid MC's (*￣▽￣*)

Personally, I like MC's and ML's to have equal footing in terms of their overall personality, I don't like delicate shou tropes that much. 

And in my own, very subjective opinion, these novels have really good plots, or at least most of their logic is in the bounds of normal human logic. 

Note: Novels are not sorted according to rank, just depends on what I remembered first _(:3」∠)_ <<less

as the titles says HAHHA its a mix out of rebirth, comedy, tragedy, modern romance etc
