As Japanese novels generally contain brocon / siscon as a spice for the story. However, these novels are quite heartwarming regarding the meaning of family life.... more>>

Some novels may still be in ongoing status, I will try my best to avoid a distorted ending, namely 'incest'. This list will be updated further if a 'win incest' ending is found.

I mean, brother and sister should forever be a family, not lovers or anything like that. Thus, a good brother and sister relationship is an older brother and younger sister who care for each other. 

The plot of the story may contain romance and harem as sub plots 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 everyone.  And here are the novel recommendations: <<less

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

tr*shy, generic novels, but the good kind of tr*sh. Easy to consume and requires little thought. A light read that is full of cliches.... more>>

Mostly shoujo and shounen. Why is tr*sh censored? <<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

Where family plays a big role in the story.... more>>

[BIOLOGICAL/ADOPTED]

A protagonist who is suddenly a child again, in some sort of important household, and has a goal to change the future in some way.

Novels that feature unhealthy sibling rivalry with the MC.... more>>

These siblings are:
-fully blood related; 嫡(di) legitimate child
-half-siblings; bastard child; child from new/previous marriage; 庶(shu) illegitimate child
-adopted
-switched with the MC 
-step siblings (haven't found any like this)

And they want to:
-kill him
-take the MC's inheritance
-replace MC's position in everyone's hearts
-have the MC suffering and hated

Don't be afraid to recommend me GLs (or anything else). Fairly new to NU so I don't know any.

If something doesn't belong on the list, they're most likely there because I skimmed over the summary or the spoilers and guessed that it would have the "sibling vs mc" conflict. Please let me know if something doesnt belong here. <<less
