It's a habit I have, mark the chapters I liked the most in case I wanted to reread. I'll pass the list on to anyone who wants it in the comments.  <<less

The following is a list of the top Japanese gender bender fantasy novels without romance and harem that I have ever read.  Novels with the gender bender genre give a sense of how a man was changed into a girl for certain reasons.  ... more>>

Generally, novels with gender bender will fall into gender identity deviations so that they often fall into deviant genres such as yuri and yaoi.  

However, if the author is sane enough to present plot stories, gender bender novels can be interesting novels because these present the point of view of a man in a girl's body in living his life story without having to be trapped in romance and harem. 

 Therefore, novels with gender bender genre must create conditions in which the MC does not want to be trapped in the deviation of gender identity by engaging in romantic relationships that end in deviation.  

In other words, the MC must be single for life and focus on her life goals. <<less

List of novel that have good plot, especially novel that give different perspectives than your usual trope. Not in particular order. Mostly not romance focused, might contain bl/gl. Does bl/gl even matter when it almost didn't exist?

No self insert, no useless harem, no narcissistic young master, no assasin reincarnated into young lady of some family.

They are all translated at some point, so you should be able to find them somewhere on the internet. <<less

My list of all time fave completed BG modern romance, definitely HE, bearable drama, and novels I just keep on rereading from time to time. ... more>>

after putting comments I realized how Im obsessed with these novels, please note that I am very specific reader - I almost dont want a dramatic plot and just wanted the book to be all fluff, no breakup and happy ending. When reading novels, I just want to feel the love and fluff all the time. Some with good smexy scenes *wink wink*

These are all my top suggestions - read it all and u wont regret.  <<less

The reading list consists of Korean and Chinese novels about people rising to stardom, making a name for themselves as behind-the-scene contributers, or talented traditional painting artists who strive for pure beauty of art.... more>>

Some chinese novels are yaoi and BL so it might not suit your taste, korean novels are either out of romance aspect or depict love between a man and a woman after great challenges.

The list is not a place where I put all the alike novels in. I have chosen novels with good to excellent plot, writing and translation, in other words, they the novels I love and have praised the most out of hundreds of art-related novels out there.

Hope you enjoy it! ～\（≧▽≦）/～ <<less
