My recs for BG romance novels that take place in a western fantasy setting.

Novels with an academy setting. Usually has magic or some kind of superpower. No smut or ecchi (I think?). Mainly Korean Webnovels. Majority of protagonists are... more>> transmigrators or reincarnators. Most have the historical genre. Nobles and Aristocracy. Some are battle academies. Most of the webnovels have been adapted to manhwa. Not in any particular order.  <<less

Here's a list of novels you might enjoy if you, like me, want to read some good stories that don't force an unnecessary & underdeveloped romance subplot where it isn't needed.... more>>

So these stories will have minimal to no romance, and I despise the harem trope in general. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for good bromance/brotherhood/friendship/found family stories. I also won't add any series to the list that I haven't personally read.

I decided to create this list because I've seen many similar 'no romance' lists on the site from which I've gotten many great recommendations to the point they have now become my go-to sources for new novels.

- - - - - - - - - - -

I'll be trying to organize the list based on how good I personally think the books are, but I'm only really certain about the first 4 being my favorites, the list then gets quite ambiguous, but I personally really like everything on the first page.

In the descriptions, I'll include how many chapters of the series I have read as well as how much romance there has been up until where I've read, as well as additional thoughts/opinions/warnings that I might have about the series.

I'll try to update the list whenever I find another good series to add. If you know of any series you think I'd like based on my list I'm more than open to suggestions! 

UPDATED JAN 1ST: Added 'The Nebula's Civilization' to the list. <<less

Some of my favourites novels that I’ve read on this site. These are must reads!

1. Some might be TBA dates as some dramas have not been released yet ... more>>

2. Storyline will not always be word for word, it is more prominent with xianxias 

3. released drama first, unreleased near the end.

4. Novel rating is subjective and will not be in any order.

I just thought it be nice to have a list of stories with dramas coming out :D <<less

Qihuan, Xianxia, Xuanhuan, Wuxia, Interstellar?

These are all the European fantasy BL I've read. Some of it it's pure fantasy and some of it is video game based. Like they isekaied into a video game or it's a virtual reality thing. I'll give them a 1-10 rating as well, but this is just my personal feelings. A lot of these are absolute tr*sh. XD And some have unfortunately been abandoned for a long time by their translators. Read at your own risk.... more>>

Now these are just the ones I've read/started to read. There's plenty more I haven't gotten around to or I'm waiting to see if they'll actually be completed before starting. But feel free to leave some more down in the comments!

Spicy levels: these are how much explicit material to expect.

0: no explicit material and not even a reference to doing the deed

Mild: may be some intense kissing or implied s*x, but usually it's a fade to black deal

Medium: they do the deed, but it may not be too explicitly described or not happen that often

Hot!: much sex 

Very very hot!: pure smut, even ranging into hentai, read at your own risk. <<less

A very specific type of romance that takes place in a pseudo-European, medieval, fantasy world.... more>>

Romance is a priority with the fantasy world being an ideal setting! These novels will be low on the scheming and court intrigue instead focusing on the couple themselves. 

This list avoids mentioning any sort of isekai genre with some exceptions.  <<less
